Routes Choice in the International Intermodal Networks under the Soft Time Window

There are many transportation nodes in multimodal transport. It is more in line with the actual transportation situation to reasonably select the transportation mode from the perspective of the elastic constraint of arrival time. Considering the elastic constraint of arrival time, the soft time window factor is brought into the research of multimodal transport route optimization, the route optimization model is established, and the appropriate genetic algorithm is selected and designed to deal with it. So as to obtain the optimal transportation scheme of multimodal transport, multimodal transport system optimization involves many factors such as multimodal transport organization, policy, process, responsibility, coordination, and environment.
