A mathematical model for hazmat and freight transportation in railway networks

a mathematical model for hazmat and freight transportation in railway networks

in this paper, we develop a freight transportation model for railway network considering hazmat transportation issue. in the transportation system considered, different customers can request for carrying hazmat and non- hazmat boxes. it is assumed that the sequence of the trains in the network is known. the objective is assigning the non-hazmat boxes and hazmat boxes to wagons of the trains so ...

A Fuzzy Bi-Objective Mathematical Model for Sustainable Hazmat Transportation

Today, transportation of hazardous materials (i.e., hazmat) is a very important issue for researchers due to the risk of this transit, which should be considered for development of industries and transportation. Therefore, a model that is useful should consider the risk and damage to humanitarian and environmental issues due to transit of hazmat materials. By considering the related cost, the r...

Mathematical Solutions for Solving Periodic Railway Transportation

Train scheduling has been a significant issue in the railway industry. Over the last few years, numerous approaches and tools have been developed to compute railway scheduling. In this paper, we present a set of heuristics for a constraint-based train scheduling tool, which is a project in collaboration with the National Network of Spanish Railways RENFE , Spain. We formulate train scheduling a...

A Bilevel Flow Model for HazMat Transportation Network Design

In this work we consider the following hazmat transportation network design problem. A given set of hazmat shipments has to be shipped over a road transportation network in order to transport a given amount of hazardous materials from specific origin points to specific destination points, and we assume there are regional and local government authorities that want to regulate the hazmat transpor...
