“…Therefore, the criterion of support through national / international regulations, transport policy becomes important. In order to achieve this qualitatively, and intergovernmental regulatory mechanisms, which have a direct impact on the effectiveness of intermodality itself, are important (Tamannaei et al, 2021). Optimizing models are used to assess this type of regulation, which not only offer intermodality options but also estimate the subsidies applied by individual countries (Hu et al, 2022).…”

A dynamic development of intermodal transport is observed worldwide. This development, among other issues, is related to increasing the level of transport efficiency and sustainability. That increase presents a challenge for the participants of intermodal transport systems. Therefore, there is a need to analyze the factors influencing the efficiency and sustainability of intermodal transport. The article aims to analyze these factors considering the viewpoint of transport chains participants. Ten factors influencing intermodal transport efficiency and sustainability were identified. The case study of Polish market was analyzed using marketing research tool. The questionary was developed, and the survey was carried out among the representatives of intermodal terminals located at seaports, rail-road terminals and forwarders. On the basis of collected information, it was possible to set the ranking of the particular factors. It was stated that efficient handling of cargo and transport means in transshipment terminals forms the most important factor from the practitioners’ viewpoint.

“…Authors such as [31] used a non-cooperative tripartite evolutionary game to simulate the dynamic strategic interactions among local governments, polluters, and the public to participate in governance, a new design of public participation mechanism is proposed to achieve cooperative evolutionary equilibrium. Among them, is cross-regional carbon emission governance, in which the central government plays an important regulatory role [32,33], and the government's reward and punishment decisions affect regional competition [34][35][36]. Few studies have been conducted to answer the question of how the inter-regional mitigation of transportation improves the level of emission management and how different strategies affect the level of transportation emission reduction.…”

Pollution and carbon reduction is a key strategic direction for ecological civilization in China, and a hot issue of concern for the government and the whole society. The main goal of this paper was to consider the regional externalities of traffic emissions and clarify the relationship between provincial and central government strategies under the government reward and punishment mechanism. This paper considers the unevenness of regional transportation emissions, constructs a three-party evolutionary game model among transportation carbon deficit provinces, transportation carbon surplus provinces, and the central government, discusses the evolutionary stability of the game under different strategies of the three parties, and analyzes the influence of each element on the game structure. The study shows that: Environmental losses can increase the evolutionary speed of active emission reduction in transportation carbon deficit provinces, and the probability of supporting cross-regional carbon emission reduction in transportation carbon surplus provinces decreases slightly with the increase and the probability of central government regulation increases. The central government has a certain binding effect on transportation carbon deficit provinces and carbon surplus provinces through fines, and cross-zone cooperation subsidies are conducive to promoting carbon deficit provinces to actively reduce emissions. The cross-region compensation of carbon deficit provinces can promote the governments of carbon surplus provinces to support cross-region carbon emission abatement, and the cost of regulation will reduce the probability of central government regulation. Finally, Matlab simulation is used to verify the conclusions and provide countermeasures and suggestions for cross-regional abatement of regional transportation emissions by the central government.

“…Establishing more hubs enables the MHSNWD model to find less risky routes by providing more candidate paths. For instance, when h = 2, only two hubs (8 and 20) are selected and the flow between any pair of OD nodes travels through arc (8,20) by rail. Since there are only two hubs in the network, no detour route between hubs is available.…”

The growing transportation risk of hazardous materials (hazmat) is an important threat to public safety. As an efficient and reliable mode of transportation, the multimodal hub-and-spoke transport network helps to achieve economies of scale and reduce costs. Considering the dual goals of risk and cost management of hazmat transportation, a novel optimization model of a multimodal hub-and-spoke network with detour (MHSNWD) for hazmat on the strategic level is designed. It integrates the planning of hub location and route selection based on the risk quantification for different transportation modes. Additionally, a detour strategy is applied, which allows for more than two hub nodes to be selected to form an optimal path between any supply and demand nodes in a hub-and-spoke network. Then, the risk is taken as the main objective and the cost is converted into a budget constraint to solve the model by using CPLEX. Additionally, a numerical study is conducted based on a CAB dataset to find the influence of the number of hubs and budget constraints on the optimization results. In addition, a counterpart model of the multimodal hub-and-spoke network without detour (MHSNOD) is tested to validate the advantages of the proposed model of MHSNWD. The numerical experiment shows that an appropriate increase in the number of hubs and the cost budget can remarkably reduce network risk. Compared with MHSNOD, the optimal result of MHSNWD can achieve a marginal improvement in risk reduction. This work may provide an informative decision-making reference for planning a hazmat transportation network.
