Equilibrium models in multimodal container transport systems

Multimodal Network Models for Robust Transportation Systems

15. Supplementary Notes Supported by general revenues from the State of Texas. 16. Abstract Since transportation infrastructure projects have a lifetime of many decades, project developers must consider not only the current demand for the project but also the future demand. Future demand is of course uncertain and should be treated as such during project design. Previous research for Southwest ...

Improving Quay Transport on Automated Container Terminals

In order to accommodate the growth in intercontinental container transport, port facilities have to be up-scaled drastically. One of the major challenges is to increase the capacity of the marine operation on a container terminal. In this study the model of a quay transport system using automated guided vehicles (AGVs) is used to deduce logistic principles for the design of a terminal layout an...

Non-Equilibrium Transport

Suppose we flow through an adsorption or chromatograph column so fast that the adsorption is not at equilibrium at a given point in the column. This departure from equilibrium could be either due to diffusion resistance within the porous particles of the column or due to kinetic limitation of the adsorption process. Alternatively, you may wish to separate different size macromolecules by the di...
