Abstract: In the context of sudden disaster events, giving full play to their respective advantages in the ground and air transportation fields, and establishing an air-ground combined transportation coordinated dispatch emergency rescue system can improve the quality and efficiency of emergency rescue work. This paper systematically sorted out the research status of the air-ground intermodal coordinated scheduling problem, discussed the key issues related to the coordinated scheduling such as optimization goals, material allocation, time window constraints, and solution algorithms, and looked forward to the research trend of the air-ground intermodal coordinated scheduling, which was of great significance to the research of emergency dispatching.
