Abstract

In this paper, we concerned two problems. Firstly, based on the hypothesis during the rafting, the river carrying capacity model is established. Secondly, we choose four 6-nights-motorized of no encounter to enter the river, then get rid of one 6-nights-motorized trip and add some other duration trips in, until the restrict of varying duration and propulsion are satisfied. According to our launching schedule, composite rate could reach 100%.
