Course description:
Introduction to the basics of optimization with special reference to the application of the graph theory, use of heuristics, exact and approximation approaches to on the various transportation problems. In the general terms, a student should know how to describe the optimization problem, to define the model and determine the most appropriate optimization technique.

• Define the concept of optimization in real traffic environment, linear and integer programming
• Enumerate the stages of solving transportation problems and apply the matrix in assigning transport network
• Distinguish between deterministic and nondeterministic computation
• Distinguish between heuristic, exact and approximation methods approaches
• Mathematically define optimization problems
• Connect the real transportation problems with one of the main groups or other NP-hard optimization problems
