Various disasters with serious results are reported and happen around our lives. Most of them are unconventional
contingency events. Emergency relief is an important activity dealing with the disasters to
transfer a large number of materials to the destroyed places for casualties and reconstruction for the
country, even the world. Container multimodal transportation will play an important role because of
its superior characteristics. The relations in the process of supply and transportation build up the container
supply chain. It is critical to schedule the multimodal transportation flow of the chain with time
efficiency of higher reliability. In this study, the system of container multimodal transportation emergency
relief is modeled as an affinity network inspired by the immune system. An integer linear programming
model is proposed to build the path selection for container supply chain in the context of
emergency relief. The simulation study shows the promising effects of the model. The study is valuable
for designing the emergency logistics management system with optimal path selection and flow design of
container supply chain in disaster environments.
