An assignment model for dynamic load planning of intermodal trains
Intermodal terminals are important facilities in the container transport network, providing an exchange of containers between road and rail transport. Numerous factors can affect throughput in such highly integrated systems. These include numbers and types of equipment, physical layout, storage capacity and operating strategies. This study aims to improve operating strategies by developing an a...
متن کاملOptimizing the aerodynamic efficiency of intermodal freight trains
We develop an aerodynamic loading assignment model for intermodal freight trains based on an integer-programming framework to help terminal managers make up more fuel-efficient trains. This is the first use of optimization modeling to address the aerodynamics and energy efficiency of railroad intermodal trains. Several recommendations regarding railway equipment use, operations, and policy are ...
متن کاملOptimal loading plan for multiple trains in container terminals
The definition of the train loading plan is one of the decisional aspects to be dealt with in a container terminal [1]. In the literature, few research studies have been devoted to the train load planning problem; among them, in [2] three different integer linear programming formulations are proposed in which the real weight restrictions related to wagons configurations are considered, as in th...
متن کاملOptimised De Bruijn patterns for one-shot shape acquisition
Coded structured light is an optical technique based on active stereovision which allows shape acquisition. By projecting a suitable set of light patterns onto the surface of an object and capturing images with a camera, a large number of correspondences can be found and 3D points can be reconstructed by means of triangulation. One-shot techniques are based on projecting an unique pattern so th...
متن کاملGenerating Stable Loading Patterns for Pallet Loading Problems
This paper describes an integer programming model for generating stable loading patterns for the Pallet Loading Problem. The algorithm always gives optimal or near-optimal utilization of the pallet area and fulfills stability criteria for 98% of the test cases.
