Abstract :
This paper research on how a chlorine transportation provider optimal transportation solution supposed transportation disruptions (i.e. releasing of chlorine) may happen on the process of transportation. If the government attaches much importance to environment protection and pushes severe punishment on environment pollution, the chlorine transportation provider should consider two goals together: minimizing the individual transportation cost and minimizing the social transportation cost. Then this paper develops a multi- objective linear programming model which contains two goals for the problem. Which goal is important will affect the objective function of this model. Through discussion on importance compare of two goals, this paper believes that government policy is very important to inspirit transportation providers complying with laws and protecting environment.
