Abstract Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has emulated the social behaviour of some
animals such as a flock of birds and a school of fish, searching for food. This communicative …

In this paper, we are addressing the two-stage transportation problem with fixed charge for
opening the distribution centers, which is an extension of the classical transportation …

This article considers the two-stage fixed-charge transportation problem which models an
important transportation application in a supply chain, from manufacturers to customers …

In the family of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Multimodal Transport Systems
(MMTS) have placed themselves as a mainstream transportation mean of our time as a …

This paper deals with a complex optimization problem, more specifically the two-stage
transportation problem with fixed costs. In our investigated transportation problem, we are …

This paper deals with the two-stage transportation problem with fixed charges, denoted by
TSTPFC. We propose a fast solving method, designed for parallel environments, that allows …

This paper concerns the two-stage transportation problem with fixed charges associated to
