The application of genetic algorithm in the assignment problems in the transportation company

The article presents the problem of the task assignment of the vehicles for the transportation company, which deals with the transport of the cargo in the full truckload system. The presented problem is a complex decision making issue which has not been analysed in the literature before. There must be passed through two stages in order to solve the task assignment problem of the vehicles for the transportation company. The first stage is to designate the tasks, the other one is to determine the number of the vehicles that perform these tasks. The task in the analysed problem is defined as transporting the cargo from the suppliers to the recipients. The transportation routes of the cargo must be determined. In order to solve the task assignment problem of the vehicles, the genetic algorithm has been developed. The construction stages of this algorithm are presented. The algorithm has been developed to solve the multi-criteria decision problem. What is more, the algorithm is verified by the use of the real input data.
