Multimodal transport refers to the transportation of goods under a single contract but performed with at least two different modes of transport. This research designs a new method for solving the Transportation Problem (TP) by introducing multimodal transport systems under fuzzy-stochastic environment, which we refer to as Fuzzy-Stochastic Multimodal Transportation Problem (FSMMTP). An algorithm is developed to reduce FSMMTP to a deterministic TP, which is mainly based on α-cut of fuzzy numbers, and uses a signed distance function based on the mean expectation of the fuzzy-stochastic cost parameters. We derive the optimal solution as well as optimal selection of mode for transporting the goods in our proposed model. A numerical example justifies the effectiveness of our proposed study. The paper ends with a conclusion and an outlook to future studies.
