Designing a sustainable responsive dry-sea port logistics network considering multi-modal transportation

Dry ports are inland terminals for mixed goods that have been established in some countries. According to the general structure of dry ports in different countries, especially Iran, they play a major role in the field of multimodal transportation. Considering that some countries have wide beaches, they can earn non-oil income by using these beaches. Therefore, in this study, we are looking at the design of the logistics network for dry-sea ports, with an emphasis on multimodal transportation systems and an Omni-Channel (OC) strategy. The mathematical model of this article includes three objective functions, such as cost and environmental impact minimization and job opportunity maximization. This study proposes a mixed-integer programming model for setting up a sustainable, responsive logistics network. Moreover, the Lp-metric, Epsilon Constraint (EC), and Goal Programming (GP) approaches are used to solve the developed model. Eventually, several numerical examples are used to evaluate the mentioned solution approach.
