Optimization of Benefit Distribution in Container Multimodal Transport:A Nash Equilibrium Perspective
As a complex transportation method,container multimodal transportation involves multiple parties throughout the entire process.The ability to effectively regulate the distribution of benefits among these parties would to a great extent influence and determine the efficiency of container multimodal transpor-tation.Currently,research on the issue of benefit distribution in container multimodal transportation,through the analysis of previous relevant literature,shows that theoretical studies mainly focus on related le-gal policies,development prospects,and countermeasures,etc.,and view the subject from the perspectives of law,management,and engineering,etc.The angle of game theory is mostly absent from this field,especially so for the analysis of benefit distribution among the various parties in multimodal transportation,resulting in the lack of systematic research and solutions.Nash equilibrium,as an important branch of game theory,is an effective method for analyzing and resolving conflicts of interest among multiple parties.Studying the appli-cation of the Nash equilibrium theory to optimizing benefit distribution in container multimodal transporta-tion has significant theoretical and practical value.In this paper,after going over the relevant body of literature,we analyzed the strategic selection and nego-tiation relationship among the various parties in container multimodal transportation.Using a Nash equilibri-um-based benefit distribution model as prototype,we examined the main factors affecting the distribution of benefits among the parties,such as role positioning,resource investment level,effort level,risk-bearing ca-pacity,and bargaining power,etc.,and calculated the coefficients and weights of each influencing factor to obtain the comprehensive correction factor,thereby constructing an optimized benefit distribution model for container multimodal transportation.Finally,with the automotive industry as the subject in a case study,we validated the optimization model.The results indicate that the optimization model can achieve more reason-able benefit distribution among the parties involved in container multimodal transportation,providing cer-tain reference value for container multimodal transportation operators and managers.This study not only enriches the theoretical foundation of benefit distribution in container multimodal transportation but also provides more operational and managerial decision-making support.Although limit-ed in certain aspects,such as not inclusive of some influencing factors,the optimization model proposed here can offer new ideas and tools for future researches.
