Modelling Corridor Networks in Intermodal Barge Transport
In this paper the design of the service network in intermodal barge transport is studied. The network of inland barge terminals is modeled to demonstrate potential cooperations in a corridor network. Cooperation between inland terminals leads to bundling of freight flows in the hinterland of major ports. A service network design methodology for intermodal barge transport is developed and applie...
متن کاملSimulation-based Cost-effectiveness Analysis for Intermodal Transport Networks
The increase in container transport and the restricted capacity of existing port facilities determine a large number of issues, including terminal congestion, delivery delay, and economic loss. This motivates research activities aimed at studying the factors that influence performance and economic profit [1]. Toward this end, one has to rely on a model that represents the reality of container t...
متن کاملThe Role of Simulation and Optimisation in Intermodal Container Terminals
A review of how simulation and optimisation techniques have been applied to help and improve the management of intermodal container terminals is presented. The paper does not provide a detailed list of references and of existing software packages, since it would be very hard for such a list to be complete and exhaustive. This paper aims to identify the major problem classes whose instances can ...
متن کاملSimulation and Optimisation for Management of Intermodal Terminals
This paper presents a decision support system for improving the management of intermodal container terminals. It is implemented as a modular architecture which integrates a forecasting model, a planner and a simulation module. While the forecasting module estimates container traffic, the planning module uses this information to generate efficient policies for storage, resource allocation and sc...
متن کاملPath Dependency, Networks and Intermodal Transport
This work-in-progress paper presents some initial considerations for a study aiming at analysing path dependencies in the European intermodal rail-road industry. More specifically this paper reviews some of the literature relating to path-dependency in networks and relate it to a specific interpretation of the structure-agency duality, and the attempt is to move towards an initial explication o...
