A review of multimodal transportation optimization model

The major component of logistic system is multimodal transportation. This paper presents the various alternative methodologies available to multimodal transportation planning. There is an application need for network modeling approach the optimization of people and freight transportation with different techniques. In the process of selecting the most efficient transportation modes, a multimodal transport costD model is used to demonstrate and clarify multimodal transport routing alternatives. Risk factors are also considered for each route, transport modes and nodal links. The goal of this paper is to review literature concerning a generic multi transportation network model based on implementation of computational techniques to increase efficiency.
