Abstract
This paper aims to apply the some concepts in cooperative game theory in analyzing the Cooperative Freight Transportation System (COFT). It mainly involves : 1) Abstract some traits of cost function inside COFT and construct the relevant conceptual game. 2) Establish the profit allocation system for players and calculate the shares of different cases in three-person game. 3) Analyze stability of these cases on the shares. 4) Make clear the reasons of which cases' structures of three-person alliance are stable with the allocation way and provide advises for companies and public sectors. Through this paper, we hope to show a simple notional game of COFT, and propose an analysis ways of profit allocation as well as stability of different cases in this COFT game.
