“…In the publication, a model representing a closed transport task taking into account the time criterion was described with the following relations (1)-( 6) [7,[62][63][64][65]. The objective function, understood as the minimization of the maximum value of the product transport time on all available routes, was expressed by relation (1):…”

The evolution of changes in shopping in the modern society necessitates suppliers to seek new solutions consisting of increasing the efficiency of transport processes. When it comes to controlling the flow of goods in modern distribution networks, planning and timely deliveries are of particular importance. The first factor creating a competitive advantage involves the tendency to shorten order delivery times, especially for products with a short shelf life. Shorter delivery times, in turn, extend the period of effective residence of the product “available on the shelf”, increasing the likelihood of its sale. The second component in line with the Sustainable Development Strategy consists of aspects related to the protection of the natural environment, in particular those related to car transport. In this case, the fuel consumption and the level of emitted toxic substances (including carbon dioxide) are analyzed and assessed. Bearing in mind the above, this article presents the problem of optimizing the delivery time within the assumed distribution network and its solution, enabling the company to develop and optimal plan for the transport of products with a short shelf life. The paper proposes a model that takes into account minimization of the delivery time, while estimating the values of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for the variants considered. The means of transport were medium-duty trucks. Three variants of the assumptions were considered, and algorithms implemented in MS Excel and MATLAB software were used to perform the optimization. Using the MATLAB environment, a more favorable value of the objective function was obtained for the variant without additional constraints. On the other hand, the algorithm implemented in MS Excel more effectively searched the set of acceptable solutions with a larger number of constraining conditions.

“…Examples of recently proposed algorithms include various evolutionary algorithms (Bourbonnais et al, 2021;Camporeale et al, 2019;Duran-Micco et al, 2020;Manser et al, 2020;Owais and Osman, 2018), hyper-heuristics (Ahmed et al, 2019), swarm-based metaheuristics (Liu et al, 2020), among others. Some exact methods have been proposed as well, although these are applied to solve simplified version of the problem or only very small instances (Suman and Bolia, 2019;Vermeir et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2020).…”

“…On the contrary, the operator's point of view is mostly modelled by the sum of the length of all the lines, or a function directly related to it. Some studies consider additional cost elements related to infrastructure, such as the cost of assigning segregated lanes (Wu et al 2020b) or the construction of charging stations for electric buses (Iliopoulou and Kepaptsoglou 2019;Liu et al 2020c). Instead of just minimizing the costs, a few studies maximize the profits including the revenue, which depends on how much demand is captured by the network under design (Cadarso and Marín 2016;Cadarso et al 2017).…”

“…Just a few studies have proposed mathematical formulations and solve these with exact methods. However, this can be done only in very simplified versions of the problem or in very small instances (Cadarso and Marín 2016;Cadarso et al 2017;Gutiérrez-Jarpa et al 2017;Suman and Bolia 2019;Wu et al 2020b;De-Los-Santos et al 2021). Metaheuristics have shown to be efficient to find good solutions for the TNDP, and their flexibility allows to tackle the different variants of the problem.…”

Appropriate public transport systems are crucial in modern cities. Given the high costs that they represent and the impact they have on people's lives, effective tools are required to support their design. With this in mind, the Transit Network Design problem (TNDP) and the Transit Network Design and Frequency Setting problem (TNDFSP) have been extensively studied in the domain of Operations Research. However, due to the complexity of these problems, multiple simplifications are typically made when modelling and designing solution algorithms. Therefore, still no optimization techniques are available to address these problems in practice. Moreover, different studies address different versions of the problem, with varying assumptions and constraints, complicating the comparison of results or solution approaches. This paper presents an extensive survey of studies addressing the TNDP and the TNDFSP. It discusses the different assumptions, constraints, objectives, solutions approaches and testing instances that have been considered in the literature. Furthermore, a detailed analysis is done regarding the case studies considered for the TNDFSP. Moreover, the variants of the passenger assignment subproblem that have been applied within the TNDP and the TNDFSP are discussed. The analysis shows that extensive research has been done regarding these problems. However, it also identified the significant gap that still exists between theory and practice, even in the studies addressing case studies.
