Abstract: Container sea-rail transport is increasingly becoming a mainstream mode of transport. It is an effective way to improve the transport efficiency by integrating the business processes of container sea-rail combined transport. According to analyse the business processes of container sea-rail combined transport, this paper designs the integration framework based on four levels: the base layer, the integration layer, the information transfer layer and the information presentation layer. Arena is used to simulate the process. The simulation results show that the freight transportation cycle of the railway transportation, ocean transportation and container sea-rail combined transport is reduced. Therefore, it is feasible and necessary to integrate the business process of container sea-rail combined transport.
