The phenomena of negative mobility (NM) and multiple current reversals (MCR) are investigated numerically in an asymmetric periodic potential with a Gaussian colored noise under the influence of a periodic driving and a constant bias. Two cases have been considered: the case of noise-induced normal transport and the case of noise-induced anomalous transport. The results indicate: (1) within tailored parameter regimes, a robust and wide range of NM can be obtained for a fixed regime of correlation time; (2) nonzero correlation time can induce and diminish MCR; (3) the asymmetry can induce and significantly facilitate the anomalous transport of inertial Brownian particle.
