Application of a general model of multimodal transportation in logistics
Abstract
The requirements for transport services are exogenous and can be generated by the input-output model if it is available or determined from other sources observed needs or corrected previously observed needs. The choice of a particular transport facility or a group of facilities is exogenous and multimodal transhipments are admissible. A suggested mathematical model is aimed at optimising multimodal transportation allowing us choose the most suitable transport facilities in each particular case.
