Research on Time Reliability of Container Liner Shipping Network

A calculation model for time reliability of container liner shipping network was made based on existing research on time reliability about other transportation networks and own character of container liner shipping networks. Simulation method was used to improve the efficiency of calculation. And simulationpsilas validity was optimized through modifying simulation times, so that the error of simulation can be controlled in needful range. Finally, the American lines shipping network of COSCON was taken as an example to illustrate the use of the proposed method. The result demonstrate it practicality and effectiveness.
