Abstract
Purpose of the study: Transportation problem plays an important role in logistics. The present paper introduces the transportation problem along with some of its variants and their mathematical modeling.
Methodology: The mathematical modeling is done for restricted path transportation problem. We have dealt with the transportation problems with specified number of blocked arcs or arcs with limited allowance through them. We have applied the same on some test problems chosen arbitrarily. The application is also extended on the transportation problems with some additional source-destination related restrictions.
Main Findings: The optimal cost of constrained transportation problems under the study is obtained.
Applications of this study: The process could be integrated on a larger scale in logistics.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The study is done for special types of transportation problems having specific number of blocked arcs or arcs with limited allowance through them. Some more source-destination related constrained are also dealt in this paper.
