Analysis of multicriteria transportation problem connected to minimization of means of transport number applied in a selected example

Abstract

This article presents the method connected to the formulation and solving of multicriteria transportation problems in the context of necessary transportation resources. In the developed method transport resources are considered in the aspect of their number minimization. Moreover, the authors of the article present several well-known methods for solving multicriteria transportation problems and then develop solutions of multicriteria linear transportation problems for minimization of the number of transport resources (means of transport). Furthermore, the authors describe an example of a solution as a result of using an original computer application. What is more, the development of correctness verification of the presented algorithm has been conducted. The article was concluded with a summary along with an indication of further work in the subject matter.
