A Study on Operational Model of Container Multi-Modal Transport Virtual Enterprise Based on Multi-Agent Technology

Container Multi-modal Transport is one of Multi-modal Transport organizations that aim at realizing the best benefit of transporting cargoes. As it has remarkable advantages, container Multi-modal Transport has played an important role in international trade. This article put forward the origination model of Container Multi-modal Transport Virtual Enterprise (CMTVE) based on the conception, characteristic and adaptability of Multi-Agent technology, then it expatiated the Operational process of CMTVE. At last, this article built a CMTVE based on Multi-Agent technology to optimize the operational of container Multi-modal Transport, so it can become a flexible, dynamic, high efficient chain of transportation. Thus, this model can offer the operational optimization of container Multi-modal Transport a theory guide.
