Past, Present and Future of Development, Computational Efficiency, and Practical Use of Large Scale Transportation and Transhipment Computer Codes

Abstract

Three generations of computers have elapsed since the first satisfactory method for solving transportation and transhipment problems was devised. During this time many computational advances have taken place in developing computer codes to solve these problems. The primary purpose of the paper is to summarize these events and to do some crystal ball gazing to provide what we believe to be best estimates of future trends.
