Container Sharing in Seaport Hinterland Transportation
In this contribution we optimize the transportation of containers in the hinterland of a local area with one terminal and one depot for empty containers and trucks. There are several customers who want to receive goods by inbound containers and several customers who want to ship goods by outbound containers. Additionally, there are empty inbound containers and empty outbound containers. We pres...
متن کاملClustering Techniques in Barge Transportation
This paper focuses on the development of barge clustering methods to support cost minimization models in the intrariver transportation industry. Barges are clustered such that the total costs associated with dwell time, handling, and transit are minimized while constraints associated with pick up and delivery requirements, travel times and capacity are considered. A customized hierarchical clus...
متن کاملSimConT Simulation of hinterland Container Terminal operations
The Simulation of functions of container terminals is an approach for efficient resource-planning and effective capacity analysis of Hinterland Container Terminals (HCTs). This paper presents the first results of an HCT overall solution tool which integrates configuration, simulation and reporting, and which is understood as a prototype of a special hinterland container terminal optimization-en...
متن کاملOptimal shipping routes and vessel size for intermodal barge transport with empty container repositioning
Despite the growing role of barge transportation in the hinterland access of major seaports in Northwestern Europe, service network design for intermodal barge transportation has received little research attention. In this paper, a decision support model for service network design in intermodal barge transportation is presented. The model determines optimal shipping routes for roundtrip service...
متن کاملStrategic Planning of Hinterland Container Terminals: A Simulation Based Procedure
Hinterland container terminals (HCTs) are important hubs in modern logistic-networks that ensure efficient and frictionless intermodal container turnover. In fact HCTs play an important role in the distribution of containerized goods into the hinterland and are therefore significant for the development of industrial regions. To meet the requirements HCTs have to be designed and coordinated care...
