    Abstract
  • In view of the high hub saturation, as well as the high cost and low efficiency of direct transportation from a hub to cities of the existing multimodal transport network, a hybrid hub-and-spoke multimodal transport network was proposed to expand the hub locations and optimize the transportation routes. On the basis of the transport network allowing transfer between hubs and tours between cities and considering the low-carbon factors, a mathematical model was built to minimize costs including the total transportation cost, the construction cost to open secondary hubs, the transfer cost at hubs, and the total carbon emission cost. In this way, the problem was decomposed into two stages: the location-allocation and route optimization, and according to the characteristics of the two stages, a two-stage genetic algorithm using the 0-1 coding and digital coding was designed, respectively. The designed algorithm was applied to solve an existing real case, and the optimal transportation scheme obtained by the algorithm was compared with the actual scheme. Research results show that the difference percentage between the optimal solution and its average value obtained by 10 runs of the proposed algorithm is only 4.7%, and the average solution time is only 90.6 s. In the optimized network, two hubs are added, and an unreasonable hub is abandoned. The transfer capacity of the network improves by 11.3%, and the average saturation of hubs reduces by 15.7%. The saturations of different hubs are more balanced than that in the original network. The pressures of saturated hubs are relieved, and the turnover rates of idle hubs are raised to improve the transfer efficiency. The total cost, transportation cost, transfer cost, and carbon emission cost corresponding to the optimized transportation scheme reduce by 68.41%, 68.14%, 56.55%, and 86.76%, respectively, with the most prominent reduction in carbon emissions. It can be seen that the proposed model and algorithm have good performance in expanding the hub-and-spoke network locations and comprehensively optimizing the transportation scheme for the hybrid hub-and-spoke multimodal transport network. 7 tabs, 12 figs, 31 refs.
