Project Title: Model and Solution for Transportation Plans Student: Jacquelyn Shaw Course: BSc Hons in Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract: The project proposes a Vehicle Routing Problem model for a real world problem. The model allows the transportation company to plan routes for the vehicles to increase the fill factor of the vehicles and minimise duration of travel. A sample set of the company's data is scheduled. A unique model is created combining several variations of the Vehicle Routing Problem, this enabling optimality of the solution to be increased and therefore minimising the cost to thecompany. A java program is developed to create the model for the problem, thus eliminating the need to spend much time creating the LP_Solve script. Additionally different data sets can be used with minimal effort. Running the LP_Solve script within LP_Solve uses the branch and bound technique to solve the problem.
