MATHEMATICAL MODELLING AND PARAMETERS CALCULATIONS IN MULTIMODAL FREIGHT TERMINAL NETWORKS

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...

A mathematical model for hazmat and freight transportation in railway networks

In this paper, we develop a freight transportation model for railway network considering hazmat transportation issue. In the transportation system considered, different customers can request for carrying hazmat and non- hazmat boxes. It is assumed that the sequence of the trains in the network is known. The objective is assigning the non-hazmat boxes and hazmat boxes to wagons of the trains so ...

Mathematical Modelling of Second and Third Generations of Biomass Networks Considering Water-Energy Nexus

Nowadays required energy mostly comes from fossil fuels but the limitation of fossil resources and their environmental effects have encouraged communities to seek alternative renewable energy sources. Meanwhile enery forom biomass (bioenergy) has particular importance due to wide range of resources and other advantages. In this research, a multi-objective model is proposed to design a bioenergy...
