Decision Making Methods in Transportation


Introduction

The linear programming solution group, the so-called simplex method, was created by G. Danztig. The approach – which was developed by Danztig in 1947 – provides a special group of ordered operations (called algorithm), which is based on the basic idea of linear programming. So the simplex approach is a step-by-step method for solving linear programming problems. The method uses slack variables, tables, and pivot variables to define the optimal values of the decision variables. In sum, it can be concluded that a solving linear programming problem aims to achieve the optimal value of the objective function with regards to the given maximum or minimum equation and the known linear constraining inequalities. Nowadays, computer software like MatLab or Excel can be applied to find the solution of a linear problem; however, the simplex approach is a method to solve linear problems/programs on paper. To find the solution of a linear problem using the simplex approach, the following steps have to be done (Nichols and Christofaro 2015):

The content of the book fits to the teaching program of the subject titled ‘Decision making methods’ taught at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering. The book firstly introduces the most frequently applied general approaches of solving linear optimisation problems and then discusses a few special decision support models. In the course of the investigation the book discusses the models from theory to practice, especially considering transportation related problems and models. The introduced models can efficiently support transportation related decision making processes. Therefore, it can fructify for its readers in the field of transportation management, transportation process coordination and transportation system operation.
