Integration of inter-terminal transport and hinterland rail transport

Hinterland Transportation in Europe: Combined Transport versus Road Transport

Rail Transport and Energy Consumption

This paper attempts to portray the present unstable situation of handling passengers and freight inside Iran as well as to represent a clear view of the rail transport features that have given this mode of transport a special place among the transport system. In this paper the rate of fuel consumption as a main pivotal item has been evaluated as well as the amount and cost of fuel economized th...

Standardization and Integration of Information Flow along the Maritime Transport Chain – Analysis of the Port of Hamburg and Its Hinterland Ransportation by Rail Using Business Process Modeling Notation

Container flows in the hinterland of maritime transport chains are implemented using coordinated logistics processes, which are dependent upon information exchanges between various actors. To be effective and efficient, these logistics processes require a seamless information flow between these actors. However, this does not always occur with hinterland transportation by rail, as is shown by Al...

Discrete optimization in public rail transport

Single-Car Routing in Rail Freight Transport

Cars in rail freight service follow prescribed routes from their origin via intermediate shunting yards to their destination. The goal in designing such routes is to reduce the number of trains and their travel distances. Various real-world hard constraints make the problem difficult to formulate and also to solve. We present integer programming formulations for this car routing problem arising...
