Abstract :
The paper presents a new approach based on a special distributed graphs in order to solve co-modal transport problems. The co-modal transport system consists on combining different transport modes effectively in terms of economic, environmental, service and financial efficiency, etc. However, the problem is that these systems must deal with different distributed information sources stored in different locations and provided by different public and private companies. In order to resolve the co-modal transport problems, we propose a distributed co-modal approach based on special distributed graphs that adapts to the distributed nature of real world transport information.
