A simulation tool for combined rail/road transport in intermodal terminals
A simulation tool to model the flow of Intermodal Terminal Units (ITUs) among intermodal terminals is presented. This terminal simulator tool is part of the DGVII EC-funded PLATFORM project. The terminal model is composed by road and rail gates and by a set of platforms. Intermodal terminals are inter-connected by rail corridors. Each terminal serves a user catchment via a road network. The int...
متن کاملThe Role of Simulation and Optimisation in Intermodal Container Terminals
A review of how simulation and optimisation techniques have been applied to help and improve the management of intermodal container terminals is presented. The paper does not provide a detailed list of references and of existing software packages, since it would be very hard for such a list to be complete and exhaustive. This paper aims to identify the major problem classes whose instances can ...
متن کاملRouting, ship size, and sailing frequency decision-making for a maritime hub-and-spoke container network
This study formulates a two-objective model to determine the optimal liner routing, ship size, and sailing frequency for container carriers by minimizing shipping costs and inventory costs. First, shipping and inventory cost functions are formulated using an analytical method. Then, based on a trade-off between shipping costs and inventory costs, Pareto optimal solutions of the twoobjective mod...
متن کاملDirect versus Terminal Routing on a Maritime Hub-and-spoke Container Network
This study formulates a two-objective model by individually minimizing shipping costs and inventory costs to decide whether to route a shipment through a hub or directly to its destination. First, shipping and inventory cost functions are formulated for a multi-port calling route. Shipping costs include capital and operating cost, fuel cost and port charge, while inventory costs include waiting...
متن کاملScheduling in Container Terminals using Network Simplex Algorithm
In static scheduling problem, where there is no change in situation, the challenge is that the large problems can be solved in a short time. In this paper, the Static Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in container terminal is solved by the Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA). The algorithm is based on graph model and their performances are at least 100 times faster than traditional si...
