Optimization for Time-limited Intermodal Transportation Route Selection Considering Carbon Emission Costs

摘要

This study considers an optimization problem of intermodal transportation route selection that takes carbon emissions and intermodal transfers into account. An integer linear programming model is built to formulate the problem. The activity-based approach is adopted to estimate the carbon emissions. We present a numerical case with 6 nodes in the intermodal network and then utilize Lingo 11 to generate the best route. We also analyze the results by comparing different time limitation and unit carbon emission cost.
