Abstract :
Multimodal transport of full loads with time limit is a complex problem. This paper analyzes conceptions and features of multimodal transport deeply. And, this paper probes into its organizing mode, which are collaborative and link-up multimodal transport. Thus, mode of multimodal transport can be selected based on virtual transport network. Finally, this paper presents a combination optimization model for multimodal transport of full loads with time windows.
