Abstract

Multimodal transportation is one of the most common modes of transportation, and in today's world, due to the increasing variety of needs, the use of this mode of transportation has increased. For this purpose, the current research is aimed at identifying and prioritizing effective strategies on the development of multimodal transportation using the fuzzy riding method. Multimodal transmission was identified. In the next step, these indicators were ranked and weighted using the Swarafazi method. The findings of this research showed that the use of common knowledge base (knowledge management) with a weight of 0.33 ranked first, policy measures with a weight of 0.22 ranked second, investment with a weight of 0.15 ranked third, and the use of information technology with a weight 0.1 in the fourth place, correct planning in constructions and transportation corridors with a weight of 0.062 in the fifth place, increasing transportation equipment with a weight of 0.043 in the sixth place, early updating of transportation costs Multimodality with a weight of 0.028 in the seventh place, unification of international regulations and standards with a weight of 0.019 in the eighth place, construction of access roads to train stations and ports with a weight of 0.012 in the ninth place, creation of container areas with a weight of 0.008 in Incentive policies for companies instead of providing direct subsidies ranked 11th, and reforming the railway sector to better align with other sectors ranked 12th
