Research On Route Selection Of China-EU Container Multimodal Transport

With the implementation of the "Belt and Road" initiative,political,economic and cultural exchanges between China and the Europe have increased quickly,China-EU relations face new opportunities for development.With the increasing of China-EU cooperation,multimodal transport has become more and more important,and China has vigorously promoted the construction of China-EU transport corridors and strengthened connection with neighboring countries.Although China has built a comprehensive transport corridors to Europe,there are a lot of problems of it,such as low utilization efficiency,poor service quality and low customer satisfaction.Therefore,this thesis studies the route selection of China-EU container multimodal transport and provides reasonable route decision-making methods for multimodal operators to improve the quality of transportation services and customer satisfaction.Firstly,the thesis analyzes problems of international multimodal on the basis of introducing the definition and characteristics of it,and it introduces the China-EU transport corridors.A comparative analysis of the China-EU transport corridors is made,including cost,time,infrastructure,cargo and policy support.The thesis introduces the operation process of China-EU container multimodal transport.Secondly,based on the constraints of multiple cargo requirements,transportation time limit,transportation capacity,node operation time window and departure time,a multi-objective route optimization model with minimum transportation cost and transportation time is constructed,and the NSGA-Ⅱ algorithm is designed to find the Pareto solution set of the transportation route.Then,the thesis takes the transportation time,transportation cost,transportation safety,environmental cost and transportation convenience as the impact indicators.A hierarchical evaluation model is constructed,and the Fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS method is used to evaluate and determine the transportation route schemes and select the optimal transportation route scheme.Finally,an example is used for analysis to obtain the transportation routes of freight demands.The sensitivity analysis of the departure time is performed to analyze the influence of different departure times.
