2 Grai Cotaier Multimodal Trasport Based o Multi 1.Itroductio The demad of smalllot trasportatios is icreasig i moder grai logistics system. Cotaier trasport is a good way to meet the eeds. Multimodal Trasport is the key to coordiate the various trasport modes.differet trasportatio ways are coected by Grai cotaier itermodal trasport which is more seamlessly.as a cotiuous, comprehesive ad itegrative grai trasport, it ca satisfy the eeds of grai trasportatio especially i the log distace grai trasportatio. Grai cotaier multimodal trasport has realized the seamless coectio with differet trasportio ways. The research obtais may valuable achievemets, Ma Caiwe desigs the multimodal trasport iformatio system itegrated with framework of virtual eterprise based o Multi[1];Zhou Mighua proposes to costruct efficiet likages o the fully fuctioal itegrated service platform with the aim to provide the whole seamless iformatio itegratio service for multimodal trasport []; Shi Ya puts forward a combiatioal optimizatio model of itermodal trasportatio mode[]; This paper uses Multi techology to research o grai cotaier multimodal trasport logistics system ad optimizes the maagemet process of grai cotaier multimodal trasport operatios. The improved level of grai logistics maagemet eables realize the eterprise to beefit from the grai cotaier multimodal trasport to the largest extet throughout the trasport chai..aalysis Of Grai Cotaier Multimodal Trasport The cotaier multimodal trasport is a kid of trasport orgaizatio forms for realizig the most beefit of cotaier trasport logistics. The cotaier is take as the trasport uit addifferet trasportatio ways are orgaically itegrated together to form a cotiuous ad comprehesive itegratio cotaier trasport. Cotaier Multimodal Trasport is a system that covers dyamic compositio ad operatio. It cosists of a multimodal trasport operator (simply MTO) ad the trasport carrier. It coordiates ad cotacts each other with themultimodal trasport to complete the task. MTO is resposible for the whole process of the trasport,sigig the multimodal trasport ad cotractig with cosigor. It's also resposible for performig or arragig for the performace via cotractig with multimodal trasport. The carrier holds both the the rights ad obligatios for the etire trasport.cotaier multimodal trasport operates differet modes of trasportatio,isurace, customs ad related govermet departmets.the mai busiess process of grai cotaier itermodal trasportatio is show i figure 1: Firstly, the grai dealer raises a grai cotaier trasport request to the MTO Secodly, they select a mode of trasportatio ad the trasport carrier i differet regios. Thirdly, MTO submits the bookig power of attorey to the shippig compay icludigshipper, cosigee, loadig port, uloadig port ad so o.shippig compay with good cabi to MTO issues modules receipt. MTO applies to railway carrier for railway trasportatio pla. The railway carrier seds a rail travel pla to MTO, the pla icludig the time, termial, etc.. Fourthly, MTO releases iformatio such as fial destiatio ad pick up time to the shipper/fially, the grai customer completes grai cotaier deliveryupo arrival at the destiatio. Whe the goods arrive, MTO otifies the cosigee to pick up the goods ad eds the grai cotaier trasport process. PoS(CENet1)9

All of these researches have prove that the ca solve the problems i the trasportatio field.

A whole society icludes operatio, resource, iteractive,cooperative ad data service, etc. The compositio of system is show i figure :MTO receives the trasportatio project from the potetial cotaiers i differet subsectios which packages the exteral iteractio ad iteral maagemet behaviors. There are may trasport meas to be choose.cosigor cotacts with MTO. Cosigor packages stockig up ad applies for trasportatio who takes delivery of the goods.resource simulates the trasport carrier which packages the food cotaier trasportatio accordig to differet factors. Each of the system has differet fuctios to achievig the whole trasportatio task of Multiuio trasportatio. I order to esure the task to be performed successfully, the cooperatio eeds to estimate the task proceeded by. Therefore, before distributig the task to the professioal s, it is eeded to select suitable professioal to perform the task. After that,the task result should be fed back to thecooperatio. At last, the cooperatio gathers ad deals with the results.data service provides a stadard iterface to access to the iteral ad exteral data source.the humacomputer iteractive provides a graphical iterface for users ad facilitates to complete the iteractive operatio as soo as possible.

I order to reduce the commuicatio cost, the traffic ad the resource cosumptio, The history trackig sequece is proposed. The efficiet iformatio of each is stored i the database, i order to eable the cooperative to choose the appropriate collaboratio object. Grai cotaier multimodal trasport eeds to optimize the selectio of differet trasport operators. Cooperative eeds to select the appropriate sectio of operator i the carriage of goods with least resources. It ca decompose complex problems ad choose differet extets operators to resolve the grai cotaier trasportatio problem.. Cooperatio Model Cosigee Iteret The cooperatio model of the grai cotaier multimodal trasport uses four tuples C = {A, E, M, P} to show the iformatio, amog which, A refers to the collectio, M refers to the commuicatio betwee the collaboratio, receivig ad sedig module iteractive messages; E refers to a set of evets; P refers to a set of scripts used to cotrol the rules of commuicatio betwee the s. The evet set i the collaboratio use six tuples E = {Id, Attr, T, Pco, A, Act } to show the time that evet occurs; Pco premises coditios of evets; A evets activatio group; Act is the of the actio set, icludig actio plaig actio coditio ad actio mode. It ca perform a collectio of actios. is defied as four tuples: A = {S, Ty, Dq, Tq}, amog which S represets the curret state of the, a part of the metal model, ad covers its ow records, beliefs, desires ad itetios of data; Ty refers to some type of, specifically i the field of tasks; Dq measthe target queue, defied as a set of variables. The set of variables calculate ad compare the expected value c with the curret value, makig correspodig processigupo the result of compariso; Tq represts parter history iformatio trackig queue, whichorgaizes a local database amog the, ad store the iformatio such as the desire ad ability, itetio ad actio.by tracig the history iformatio, adaalyzig desire ad the desire of utility, system updates the collaborative assessmet data dyamically.

It requires the correspodig process to complete the data collectio ad processig. System iteractio protocol with a stadard FIPA request, commuicatio laguage (ACL) is used to defie the message object.the message cotet is based o the grai cotaier multimodal trasport system otology defiitio. Each message model is based o the model, ad the seder who determies the cotet of the message..applicatio of the Cooperatio Here is a example that how grai cotaier multimodal trasport logistics system iteracts. As show i figure,through the humacomputer iteractio, the shipper chooses MTO ad makes a grai cotaier trasport request, MTO accepts the request ad checks it before reachig a agreemet. MTO makes a grai cotaier trasport request to cooperatio who smoothly completes differet segmets of cohesio. Evetually, the cosigee picks up the goods ad fiishs the grai cotaier task..

Accordig to the differet time demad, it ca get the combiatio of the lowest shippig costs. Fially it ca reach the followig results: if the time is o more tha days, the path C1CCC ca be chose. C1C is the railway trasportatio while C CC is the shippig trasportatio.the lowest cost is 1; If the time is o more tha days, the path e C1CCC ca be selected.the mode of trasportatio is railway trasport ad the lowest cost is 1. Prototype system realizes the grai cotaier multimodal trasport logistics system modelig ad schedulig, With the coordiatio of each fuctioal s grai cotaier trasportatio is well cotrolled ad maaged.the differet state of the ad the iteractios betwee the s ca be easily observed i JADE cotaier.
