Transportation cost is the highest cost in logistics costs which occupies around 29% from the total costs followed by inventory cost, warehousing cost, packing cost, management cost, material handling cost and ordering cost (Tseng et al., 2005). Transportation cost can be reduced by optimizing the sequence of vehicle route. This problem about optimizing vehicle route is generally known as vehicle routing problem. Pollution routing problem (PRP) is an extension of the traditional VRP which consider the transportation impacts to the environment represented by pollution cost. PRP research based on assumption that pollution emitted by a vehicle depends on vehicle load and speed among other factors. Since it is introduced, some researches have been conducted to see another variant of PRP. This research aims to learn about various types of pollution routing problem and to study different variants of PRP cases.
