A realistic road–rail intermodal transport system can be suitably modeled as a hub-and-spoke (H&S) network for which the parameters are subject to fuzzy uncertainty: demand, cost and time. For modeling uncertainty, we present a bi-objective optimization formulation for the hub-and-spoke based ro...
