Architecture of Intelligent Intermodal Logistics Centres
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this research and development project is to construct the foundations of a logistics IT centre with a universal and intermodal character, i.e., covering all modes of transportation and corresponding central functions related to warehouses and container terminals. Through its modular structure it is applicable to arbitrary concrete site dependent needs. It also contains intelligent elements, which offer sub-optimal solutions to certain classic mathematical optimization problems connected to logistics, acceptable from a practical point of view and tractable in the computer science sense. In order to realise and implement this system, several basic research tasks both in logistics and IT will be solved.

متن کاملHUB NETWORK DESIGN MODELS FOR INTERMODAL LOGISTICS by RAFAY ISHFAQ A DISSERTATION
This research is motivated by the extraordinary increase in the use of intermodal shipments in recent years for both domestic and global movement of freight. Three mathematical models, which explore the dynamics of intermodal hub-and-spoke networks, are presented. These models use transportation costs, fixed location costs, modal connectivity costs, modal transit times and service time requirem...
