Bi-Level Programming Based Layout Optimization of Water-Land Intermodal Transport Hub

Article Preview

Abstract:

Against the problem of water-land intermodal transport logistics in area of Yangtze River, based on the method of bi-level programming, a layout optimization model of the area under the condition of flow of goods in dual direction is built up. The model involves optimized selection of ports as the intermodal transport hubs and determination of throughout of ports after construction from the point view of logistic planning department and optimized selection of water-land intermodal transport routes and determination of goods volume among the routes. The example reveals that the problem of layout optimization in Yangtze River basin under the condition of dual-direction goods flow can be modeled by bi-level programming, and the model can be solved by two kinds of algorithms including two-phrase one and adding objective functions.
