Evaluation of the competitiveness of the container multimodal port hub by Min Wan, Haibo Kuang, Yue Yu, Ruirui Zhang

“…Abstract The research on the competitiveness of container multimodal transport port hub, comprehensively considering the software and hardware strength of port hub, is of great significance to analyze the specific source competitiveness of port hub, the optimal allocation of multimodal transport capacity resources and port operation management planning. Based on this, according to the principle of fuzzy set and membership function in fuzzy theory, this paper adopts the modeling method of multi-attribute decision-making to deeply analyze the key influencing factors of port hub competitiveness, extract the core indicators from the four aspects of business capacity, transport capacity resources, infrastructure and service quality, and then construct the fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making evaluation model of port hub competitiveness, and take the container transportation in Northeast China as an example. …”
