Benefit Research on Price Integrated Model in Multimodal Transportation

This paper firstly analyzes structures of two price integrated models in multimodal transport, the core transport enterprises mode and freight forwarder enterprises mode. Then, leader-follower game model and centralized game model in two price integrated models are studied. Finally, through the comparative analysis, a result has been drawn that the core transport business must pay more effort when they integrate other transport enterprises' price to supply multimodal transport for consumers. Based on the result, the authors concludes that the benefits of the multimodal transport interest chain are higher than freight forwarder enterprises as the price integration role in the same transportation price making the allocation of social resources more rational.
