Abstract: A Transportation Problem is one of the most typical problems being encountered in many situations and it has many practical applications. Many researches had been conducted and many methods had been proposed to solve it. One of the most difficult challenge in solving the problem deals with inputting a very large volume of data. With the development of intelligent technologies, computers had already been used to solved this problem. This paper presents a method using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to provide a new tool that can quickly calculate the solution to the Balanced Transportation Problem. The test results are compared with selected old methods to confirm the effectiveness of the use of GA. A mathematical model was used to represent the GA and be applied to solve it. Finally, the test results of the model were presented so show the effectiveness.
Keywords: Genetic Algorithm, Transportation Problem.
