Abstract: Abstract Based on the literature reviews on the related research, the paper built a bi-objective optimization model with the objectives of maximizing reliability andminimizing generalcosts including direct transport costs and transport time cost, and transport reliabilityin terms of penalty of time deviation. This paper made a soft time window design to get the penalty of time deviation to achieve an effective time cost. Genetic algorithm inMATLABis applied to solve the models. The bi-objective model was tested to be feasible and rationalby a case study in the “Singapore—Shenzhen—Dalian—Shenyang—Harbin” intermodal transport.
