An Overview of the Cash Transportation Problem

One of the relatively new study topics in Vehicle Routing is the Cash Transportation Problem. This problem takes into consideration the security in planning vehicle routes. Few papers have focused on the cash transportation problem. Minimizing the travel cost and/or minimizing the transportation risk are the objective functions considered in these problems. This paper is the first overview of the cash transportation problem addressed in the literature. We classify these problems into two categories, mono-objective and multi-objective problems.
