Abstract
Transport optimization is part of the broad area of physical distribution and logistics management. Physical distribution involves the handling, movement, and storage of goods from the point of origin to their point of consumption or use, via various channels of distribution. Logistics management involves the management of these operations for efficient and cost effective physical distribution (Ghiani et al. 2004).
