Research On Container Multimodal Transport Development

Transport development which is a gradual process follows the discipline as below:from the low-level to high-level, from extensive to intensive, from slow speed to high speed, from a single kind of mode of transport to the cooperation of a variety of modes of transport. The container multimodal transport is an advanced stage which was formed and developed in developed countries on the basis of the post-industralization, the relatively complete infrastructure, the perfect integrated transport system. For a long time, the transport of China restricts the national economy. To form and develop container multimodal are facing enormous difficulties and challenges and have complex impact factors because of the inadequate infrastructure, fragmented sectors, no single integrated transport co-ordination department.In this context, this paper is expected to provide a theoretical basis and development ideas for the truly combinatorial optimization and the container multimodal transport's development, through the deeply analysis of the formation mechanism of container multimodal transport, as well as the technical and economic characteristics of all modes of transportation.The paper reviews and analyzes the theoretical study and practical development of multimodal transport at home and abroad with the combination of theory and practical method, then points out that the common macro-and micro-economic promote the formation of container multimodal transport. The container multimodal transport system which exchanges a large number of materials and energy with outside has such obvious dissipative structure characteristics of open, non-linear, non-equilibrium and fluctuations. All modes of transport in container multimodal transport have different technical and economic characteristics, and large-scale macro-economic benefits can be achieved by way of the organically combination of all modes of transport.The paper uses the objects of transportation and transportation routes to analyzes the container multimodal transport decision-making, and then establishes a mathematical modal for the combinatorial optimization with a quantitative approach and applies it to a specific case. Finally the dissertation elaborates the way to develop our country's container multimodal transport through the perspectives of government level and enterprise level.
