Description
This study investigates the transport of containers via intermodal transport network of Peninsular Malaysia by comparatively analysing the use of trucks, trains and ships with respect to time, CO2 emission and cost. The study is aimed at proposing the best route/mode of container transport in Peninsular Malaysia. ArcMap and MATLAB were employed to identify the single-objective route/modal choices. The multi-criteria route/modal choices were achieved by integrating the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) and sensitivity analysis. The single-objective results indicated that the use of trucks on road was the fastest mode of container transport. However, the combination of ship and train was the most environmental-friendly for Case 1, while transport by ship generated the least CO2 emission for Case 2. Train was found to be the cheapest mode of container transport, followed by ship and truck. It can be inferred from the multi-criteria analysis that container transport via rail is the ideal and least-cost route and mode of transport.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
