Abstract

This research investigates impact of carbon emissions policies on multimodal transportation planning in a fresh produce transportation case. Optimised multimodal transportation has the potential to reduce negative impact on environment. Multimodal transport uses a combination of at least two modes of transportation in a single transport chain, without a change of container for the goods, with most of routes travelled by road, rail, inland waterway or shipping. An optimization analysis is carried out with different carbon charges to identify impact of carbon policies on the transportation mode selection and the logistics performance. This research shows that, with different carbon emission charges, optimal logistics chain speed with lowest transportation and carbon emission costs can be identified.
