Multi-modal transportation network is relatively complex, involving many transportation links and transshipment nodes. Transshipment delay risk should not be ignored. Comprehensive consideration of transshipment delay risks at nodes, rational utilization of node transshipment delay time and optimization of vehicles allocation are the key problems that this paper trying to solve. From the research sight of transshipment process at nodes, the transshipment delay risk of multi-modal transport is analyzed and transshipment delay risk value of multi-modal transport node is taken into the optimization objectives for vehicles allocation. With consideration of the effect of transshipment delay on vehicles allocation in transportation sections, the number of allocating different vehicles allocation in each transportation section is also discussed in the perspective of multi-modal transportation system planning. While meeting the freight demands and connecting all sorts of transportation effectively, operating costs and the transshipment delay risk can be minimized. This paper also provides a new thought of vehicles allocation for multi-modal transportation and guides for multi-modal transportation risk management as well.
