Integration of Transportation Stations as Intermodal Stations

Optimal transportation networks and stations

Here c is a given lower semicontinuous cost function, and πi are the marginals of π . In the typical case c(x, y) = ‖x − y‖, p > 1, and the pth root of the minimum in (1.1) is then called the p-Wasserstein distance Wp(μ, μ) between μ and μ. Brancolini and Buttazzo [6], Buttazzo and Stepanov [8], and Buttazzo et al. [7], among other works, consider a variant of the problem with two different med...

Intermodal Transportation

This Chapter focuses on Intermodal Freight Transportation, broadly defined as the transportation of a load from its origin to its destination by a sequence of at least two transportation modes, the transfer from one mode to the next being performed at an intermodal terminal. Container-based transportation services are an important part of intermodal transportation and the backbone of internatio...

Multi-objective planning of charging stations considering benefits of distribution company and charging stations owners

In recent years, electric vehicles have attracted significant attention due to environmental issues. Charging stations installation requires a systematic consideration of relevant issues such as determination of the location and size of charging stations. On the other hand, it is necessary to encourage private investors to invest in charging stations installations and to provide proper conditio...

Visually Profiling Radio Stations

The overwhelming number of radio stations, both online and over the air, makes the choice of an appropriate program difficult. By profiling the program content of radio stations using Self-Organizing Maps we provide a reflection of a station’s program type and give potential listeners a visual clue for selecting radio stations. Profiles of current broadcasts indicate which program type a statio...
