TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - A case study of the interāisland transportation network of Greece JO - Transportation planning and technology A1 - Orloff, Clifford S. A1 - Nicolaidis, Gregory C.

An algorithm which minimizes total operating costs (fixed and variable) has been adapted and used to determine an optimal network solution. The total operating costs of this solution is compared to the total operating costs of the existing (1964 data) network and the optimal networks when fixed and variable costs are minimized independently. It is found that the actual network follows the minimal total operating costs solution quite closely.
