Combinatorial Auction-based Bidding Model Of The Combined Transport Operator

Multimodal transport can be said that the main part of container logistics network, the main line which throughout its entire logistics activities. In the more efficient and personalized market environment, the multimodal transport system becomes more and more important in the work of service transactions and more complex. For the multimodal transport operator, standing for the carrier's point of view, select the mode of transport, arrange transportation time, lines etc., they need a set of systematic and scientific method. Therefore, the establishment of accurate and reasonable multimodal combinatorial auction model can improve multimodal transport operation, speed and quality of service delivery, finally achieve high efficiency, low consumption of logistics objectives.For the combined transport operator, the different routes have different combinations of valuation, it is because they can be complementary or alternative routes, and combined transport operators can take advantages of these features to reduce their load, and organize their business activities in more effective ways. Combinatorial auctions have been studied by many economists, they were proved benefit to auctioneers. It is a hot topic to lot of researchers and computer experts that how to design a winning bid to maximize profits related optimization problem.This essay focused mostly on issues on the the combined transport operator's side, use the multimodal transport operator the best bid generation model, the multimodal transport operator in the tender part of the path to find the best combination. Best bid derived model also provides the optional path, and for the multimodal transport operator, they can choose a short-term strategy to maximize profits under the combination of the tender.
