Assessing Multimodal Transport Systems: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Lily Guo and Version 1 by Ruth Banomyong.

The reviewed multimodal transport cost model is based on a relatively simple framework but demonstrates that other existing models of modal choice, multimodal transport and inventory location all oversimplify the transport process. 

  • modal choice
  • cost model
  • multimodal transport
