Integrated Freight Terminal and Automated Freight Management System: A theoretical approach

A Hierarchical and Georeferenced Approach for Freight Terminal Location

1 – Introduction: In transportation, decision-making phase has an essential role in the planning context. The actions of planners have to be efficient and dynamic to generate the best management of the resources and consequently maximize benefits. Recently, the intervening factors became more complex and related to political, economical and social interests, which have to be considered in the f...

Freight transport development forecasts in enterprises management

Title: Modelling Intermodal Freight Terminal Operations

Intermodal terminals are critical elements in the total freight transportation chain. They provide the interface not only between modes, but also between shippers and carriers. Therefore, the performance of those terminals needs to be closely monitored and their operations optimised with respect to the two key performance areas, namely: customer service and operational efficiency. This paper de...

Data Flows in Urban Freight Transport Management System

Comparison of the Economic Profitability of a Conventional Freight-Dedicated Railway Corridor and a Heavy Load Freight Corridor

By using mathematical models, this paper will compare the economic profitability of a heavy load freight corridor (30 t per axle) with a conventional freight-dedicated railway corridor (22.5 t per axle). This comparison concerns the construction and operation of a new, single-track of normal gauge, exclusively for freight traffic, and takes into account various demand values of freight volume (...
