Abstract :
In order to analyze the behavior of every participant in decision making, the container transportation business process will be introduced. Furthermore, container transport supernetwork equilibrium models are established. Then it extends from the dynamic Stackelberg Game Model to EPEC (Equilibrium Problem with Equilibrium Constraints) model, in which the upper layer ports go on non-cooperation competition while the lower layer shippers compete for the path of minimum expense. Finally, a diagonalization algorithm is employed to obtain equilibrium solution.
