Robustness assessment of multimodal freight transport networks

Designing Multimodal Freight Transport Networks: A Heuristic Approach and Applications

Planning Multimodal Freight Transport Operations: a Literature Review

Purpose: Multimodal freight transport developed in the transportation sector as an alternative to unimodal transport faced with the challenges brought by the growing global demand for transporting goods. Multimodal transport is the transportation of goods using at least two modes of transport, usually door-to-door. The common transport modes include railways, maritime routes, and the roads. Whe...

Freight transport development forecasts in enterprises management

In this study, an investigation of long-term forecasts relating to the development of the transport sector in Poland is performed, including the ones by 2030 and 2050. Selected transport development forecasts from the perspective of the membership of Poland in the European Union are presented and most of all, from the perspective of national studies. The basement for the review was the prognosi...

Optimization of the robustness of multimodal networks.

We investigate the robustness against both random and targeted node removal of networks in which P(k), the distribution of nodes with degree k, is a multimodal distribution, [formula--see text] with k(i) proportional to b -(i-1) and Dirac's delta function delta (x). We refer to this type of network as a scale-free multimodal network. For m=2, the network is a bimodal network; in the limit m app...
