The carrier selection in various sections is the key perspect of achieving maximum integrate efficiency and benefit in multimodal transport.A method was proposed for the optimization of the carrirer selection in network enviromnet by inviting and submitting a tender based on multiagent.In this method,the Java-based Agent framework was adopted and the architecture based on multi-Agent was developed.The Ontology-based modeling for the carrier selection was also discussed.The decision support methods for the carrier selection,including utility theory and group decision technology based on multi-Agent negotiation,were expounded.The model of inviting and submitting a tender based on ameliorated contract net protocol was designed.The results of systematic simulation confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
