Abstract: Based on the transportation cooperative game model, this paper discussed the cost allocation schemes under Shapley value and PES. The properties of these two cost allocation schemes and their affections to the farsighted stability of transportation alliance were analyzed. The studies indicate that carrier’s Shapley value is positively correlated with his demand, and negatively correlated with his production volume; carrier’s PES is positively correlated with his demand, while negatively correlated with other carriers’ production volumes; the increasing cost of the whole transportation alliance is almost sustained by the carrier himself when his demand and production volume are increased in the same scale simultaneously; “differential alliance” is more stable with Shapley value being cost allocation scheme, while “alliance between giants” is more stable with PES being cost allocation scheme.  

Key words: transportation cost, transportation alliance, farsighted stability, Shapley value, pairwise egalitarian solution (PES)
