Abstract
Traveling salespersons problem (TSP) is one of the unsolved problems of the day that carry significant value to the transportation
networks. The exact solution of a Traveling salespersons problem is not feasible. There are some good approximation algorithms
that can provide an approximate solution. Here, we propose a method to extend the conventional Traveling salespersons problem
to transportation networks where the travel plan can be optimized within the Geospatial Information System. We also propose an
optimized web based implementation scheme that gives a faster response to the route queries. In modern geographic informations
systems, such a web accessible route query system can be very useful.
