Multi-Stage Transportation Problem With Capacity Limit

The classical transportation problem can be applied in a more general way in practice. Related problems as Multi-commodity transportation problem, Transportation problems with different kind of vehicles, Multi-stage transportation problems, Transportation problem with capacity limit is an extension of the classical transportation problem considering the additional special condition. For solving such problems many optimization techniques (dynamic programming, linear programming, special algorithms for transportation problem etc.) and heuristics approaches (e.g. evolutionary techniques) were developed. This article considers Multi-stage transportation problem with capacity limit that reflects limits of transported materials (commodity) quantity. Discussed issues are: theoretical base, problem formulation as way as new proposed algorithm for that problem.
