| dc.description.abstract | Multimodal transport is no longer an unfamiliar concept or trading method in the industrial
economy. It has strongly proved the importance of transportation, which is considered
cooperation between many countries and economic promotion for the developing. Hence,
transportation should be put into severe vision as a separate industry. Many plans have been
discussed for the appropriate optimization. Due to the complexity of the construction from
several components, including time, modes of vehicle, route, and cost, some of these factors
require their solution respectively, which is called sub-problem. That leads to the use of
Dynamic Programming, the chosen method for this study. In order to figure out an optimal
plan for shipment between countries, operators should give the most suitable options to
customers with time-based modes of vehicle, carrier lines, moving schedule, and lastly, their
costs such as fuel cost, harbor cost, insurance cost, and tax. The problem is not as simple as
choosing the most inexpensive cost with the shortest path, and it requires a flexible
combination of all components. The contribution of this thesis report may become a
practical recommendation for operators in the industry. | en_US |
