Abstract

To solve the difficulties resulted from uncertainty differences in multi objective optimization of the heavy cargo transport scheme; a multi objective stochastic optimization case of key equipment multimodal transport scheme fora chemical construction project was given. A multi objective stochastic optimization model with decision network planning and multi objective programming was established. A solution method, which is combined with utility function theory and upper bound minimal model, was put forward to solve the model. The result shows that the optimization model and the solution method can solve the multi objective optimization problem of heavy cargo transport scheme effectively even when uncertainties are different. And the case study is of highly practical value.
