Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of multimodal transport of goods, and particularly relates to a low-carbon multimodal transport network design method considering path selection of consignors. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the core carrier of the low-carbon freight transport system, the multimodal transport network has covered the main freight transport hubs in China, and the annual freight transport scale accounts for an important proportion of the comprehensive transport system. The transport efficiency depends on the intelligent decision of the consignor path selection behavior, the transport mode collaborative optimization and the low-carbon subsidy strategy. The consignor path selection needs to comprehensively consider the heterogeneous demands such as transport time, cost and brand preference; the transport mode collaborative optimization involves the matching of transport capacity and the connection of paths of various transport modes such as highway, railway and waterway; and the low-carbon subsidy strategy needs to dynamically balance the financial expenditure and the carbon emission cost control. The existing design methods mostly use static optimization models, cannot effectively integrate the dynamic subsidy mechanism, and lack the precise depiction of the behavior preferences of consignors and the differences between transport batches, resulting in a significant gap between the actual utilization rate of low-carbon transport modes and the expected target, and the highway transport occupies a dominant position in the total carbon emissions, which seriously restricts the collaborative improvement of the multimodal transport network in service quality and emission reduction target.

[0003] Among the existing multimodal transport related invention patents, a multimodal transport composite rail transport system (CN202310123456.7) and an unmanned multimodal transport vehicle and transport system (CN201910871877.0) provide a multimodal transport infrastructure construction method; a route network planning management system suitable for road engineering design (CN202310345678.9) and a continuity traffic network design method based on SUE (CN201810263236.2) provide path planning and network optimization methods; a train working diagram and path selection optimization method based on a multi-granularity space-time network (CN202111312514.7) and a freight network task deployment method and system (CN202311308405.7) provide transport organization and resource deployment methods, but an intelligent multimodal transport collaborative system integrating path planning, operation optimization and low-carbon target has not yet been formed. The existing technologies independently optimize specific links, lack global collaboration of the whole chain of multimodal transport, and result in limited transport efficiency improvement and poor carbon emission control effect.

[0004] Current multimodal transport network designs suffer from the following technical deficiencies: First, existing route selection models fail to fully consider shippers' heterogeneous preferences for transport time and freight costs, resulting in insufficient utilization of low-carbon transport modes. Second, at the implementation level of low-carbon policies, traditional subsidy strategies (such as fixed-amount subsidies or volume-based subsidies) have significant limitations: on the one hand, fixed subsidies are difficult to adapt to cost differences over different transport distances; on the other hand, volume-based subsidies easily induce irrational transport behaviors such as "group buying." Traditional low-carbon subsidy strategies lack a dynamic adaptation mechanism with transport distance and cargo flow direction, making it difficult to effectively guide medium- and long-distance freight transport towards low-carbon modes. Third, existing network design methods do not integrate the characteristics of batch transport of cargo flow with multimodal transport collaborative optimization, leading to deviations in transport time calculations and imbalances in resource allocation. These problems severely restrict the improvement of the low-carbon efficiency and operational efficiency of multimodal transport systems. Summary of the Invention

[0126] As an example, taking freight transportation from Shenyang to Taiyuan, the design process requires constructing a transportation network with 16 hub nodes and configuring three optional modes of transportation—road, rail, and waterway—for each transportation segment. Taking into account factors such as transportation time, cost, and carbon emissions, and combining the shippers' personalized needs for timeliness and cost, a complete low-carbon multimodal transport network design scheme is output. For example: first, transport by rail from Shenyang to Yingkou (enjoying low-carbon subsidies), then by waterway to Tianjin, and finally by road to Taiyuan.

[0127] The shipper route selection described in this application refers to the decision-making process by which a shipper selects a transportation route in a multimodal transport network based on heterogeneous needs such as transportation time and transportation costs.

[0128] As an example, please refer toFigure 4 The diagram shows the shipper's route selection and proportions. (See attached image.) Figure 4 As shown, the shipper's route selection can be decomposed into two levels: the upper level is carrier selection (B1, B2), and the lower level is specific transportation route selection (P1-P5). The selection ratio of each transportation route is determined by the shipper's utility preferences for freight, time, etc., with railways being more attractive due to subsidy strategies.
