Nowadays the optimization of the intermodal transportation network is an interesting topic on which attracts many people to do research. Consideration the characteristic of the intermodal transportation network, this paper present a multi-objective optimization model under the principle of the minimization of the transportation cost and time. The model quantificationally describes the combined optimization strategy for every transportation modes in the intermodal transportation network. And then the author proposes the solution methods for the multi-objective optimization model based on the Matlab Toolbox. At last, this method is used to settle a simple example which is composed of several cities and four transportation modes. The results indicate that this methodology is effective to find the combined optimization strategy for transporting. And the research enables to help the transportation enterprise (and other organization) select the transportation modes, combined strategy and route.
