We consider a container routing problem with stochastic time variables in a sea-rail intermodal transportation system. The problem is formulated as a binary integer chance-constrained programming model including stochastic travel times and stochastic transfer time, with the objective of minimising the expected total cost. Two chance constraints are proposed to ensure that the container service ...

significant advantages of intermodal and containerized transport have increased the global interest to this mode of transportation. this growing interest is reflected in the annual volume of container cargo growth. however, the container transport inside iran does not have a proper place. comparing the count of containers entering and leaving ports with the statistics obtained from railway and ...

In this paper, we introduce a workflow-oriented system architecture for the processing of client requests (CRs) for container transportation. In the context of multi-transfer container transportation, the processing of CRs can be achieved by specific sequences of interdependent activities. These sequences need to be just-in-time created. They also need to be adapted to deal with unexpected even...

This article compares the technical and economic indicators of types transportation goods by principle “from door-to-door”. Analyzes choice an effective option. The research considers possibility choosing most efficient option least expensive type transportation, depending on distance weight cargo being transported. Container transport, contrailer road transport rail in covered wagons were sele...

This study concerns the deployment of large numbers of container transporting vehicles on a network consisting of (dedicated) roads and logistic sites such as container terminals. Each site is managed autonomously by a site manager. The fleet of vehicles is deployed by a fleet manager. On request of the site managers, the fleet manager allocates vehicles to be hired by the site managers. Next, ...

Container terminals are essential intermodal interfaces in the global transportation network. Efficient container handling at terminals is important in reducing transportation costs and keeping shipping schedules. In this paper, we study the storage space allocation problem in the storage yards of terminals. This problem is related to all the resources in terminal operations, including quay cra...

Improving the quality of transportation services requires carriers to find better methods optimizing routes and work with containers when traveling from Ukraine EU countries. It has been established that container already occupies a significant share market tendency use it is only increasing. Ukraine, as transit state, great potential for development its own railway system. This article studies...

This chapters offers a detailed overview of how the carbon footprint of a typical container (TEU) is calculated and how it can be recalculated to see changes with variables, the primary ones being alternative routing, transportation mode, cost, time. It demonstrates, for example, just how carbon intensive transport is by truck. It notes that the alternative scenarios, (e.g., where a Distributio...
