摘要
An increasing number of logistics service providers act as freight integrators in offering one-stop solutions to customers in recent years. Most mathematical models of intermodal network design have been developed with a single objective of cost minimisation. This study focuses on developing innovative approaches in the area of enhanced intermodal network design provided by freight integrators. The overall aim of this paper is to demonstrate an original optimisation model that can be employed by freight integrators to address cost minimisation, transit time minimisation, and carbon footprint to better meet market needs. To achieve the aim, this paper develops a bi-objective optimisation model to minimise cost and transit time for the tactical planning of intermodal container flows with constrained carbon emission. The results and analysis of the example of China offer practical insights on the impact of trade-offs between cost and transit time, and the effect of different carbon emission restrictions on intermodal network design.
