Abstract: Considering the risk of transportation network, the route decision of container multimodal transportation is studied. By using risk factors and the dynamic programming method to analyze the reliability of a transportation network, a route decision objective programming model for container multimodal transportation is established by comprehensively considering the transportation network risk, transportation time, transportation cost and cargo damage. To solve this model, a hybrid algorithm of genetic and ant colony algorithms is designed. Multiple initial routes including set nodes and edges are found through a route selection model. Then, dynamic programming combined with risk factors is used to obtain the alternative solutions at key nodes and edges of each route. Finally, the optimal route is found by using a multi-objective multimodal transportation model to maximize the resistance to transportation network risk. A container export case from Xiamen to Almaty is taken as an example to prove the effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm, which can provide a reference for route decisions by comprehensively taking the economy, timeliness and safety of container multimodal transportation into consideration.
