Abstract

The problem authors consider is that of preparing a minimum cost transportation plan for modal shift associated with the milk transportation between Hokkaido and Tokyo. In this paper, we present a solution method for this problem using an integer programming model with linear objective functions subject to all feasible traffic flows and all the combinations of constructing different candidate links. In order to illustrate the model, results are presented for modal shift with multiple mode of transportation including RORO ships, ferries, rail and milk-tank lorries.
