Abstract

This paper optimize the dimensions of railway containers by taking into account the constraints related
to space limitations. this paper is the extension of Previous paper by vaseem et. al. in this paper the sensitivity
analysis is shown after the optimization. this is genralised research and can also be used by the transportation
departement to calculate the optimum number of trucks in a space and thier proper allocation. the trucks like to
follow last in first out policy to mininmize the inventory level within a given space. the research paper is coaded in
Mat-Lab and C Language and thier results are compared with each other. the sensitivity analysis is shown in the
later part of the research paper. the research paper can also be used for the traffic control on bumpy roads. the
future of the research paper is limited to transportation only.
