Multi-Objective Evaluation of Intermodal Freight Terminal Location Decisions
In the movement of freight across the supply chain, terminals play an important role as points of transfer between different modes. The location of terminals is one of the most crucial success factors bearing directly and indirectly on the main stakeholders involved including policy makers, investors, terminal operators, freight operators, and the local community affected. There have been sever...
متن کاملIntermodal Freight Transportation
The 21st century will see a renewed focus on intermodal freight transportation driven by the changing requirements of global supply chains. Each of the transportation modes (air, inland water, ocean, pipeline, rail, and road) has gone through technological evolution and has functioned separately under a modally based regulatory structure for most of the 20th century. With the development of con...
متن کاملOptimal planning of order–based operations for intermodal freight transportation
In this paper, a planning problem is analysed for a consolidation transportation system in order to serve different transportation requests (i.e., orders) with different origins and destinations and different characteristics. The considered transportation system is a railway network provided with innovative terminals (where handling operations are realized very much faster than in traditional t...
متن کاملModelling Complex Intermodal Freight Flows
In regions with an extensive waterway network intermodal transport including inland navigation is a good alternative for unimodal road transport. Intermodal transport networks exhibit an increased complexity due to the inclusion of multiple transport modes, multiple decision makers and multiple types of load units. A discrete event simulation methodology is proposed to understand the network dy...
متن کاملTitle: 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...
