Mathematical Modeling for Routes and Cost of Local Transports in Pune City

Transportation problem is considered a vitally important aspect that has been studied in a wide range of operations including research domains. As such, it has been used in simulation of several real life problems. The transportation model is for the optimization of routes, cost and travelling of peoples with the help of public transport buses from the source to the destination by road. The data is collected which includes number of trips per day, cost of trips per trip ,distance between source and destination etc. manually through the questionery interview with the conductors drivers and the regular travelling peoples travelling on that route as well as data collection from PMPML office and calculation for minimizing the transportation cost have been done. The result of the research with proper scheduling, proper routing of buses can save Rs. 48865.875 in a 1 day. The saving of the transportation cost increases the profit of the PMPML. The total saving amount profit percentage is about 18.15% increase from saving transportation cost. The parameters as discussed above are considered and collected manually with the help of survey sheet and transportation model is prepared and after
