Capacity uncertainty is a common issue in the transportation planning field. However, few studies discuss the intermodal routing problem with service capacity uncertainty. Based on our previous study on the intermodal routing under deterministic capacity consideration, we systematically explore how service capacity uncertainty influences the intermodal routing decision. First of all, we adopt t...

The share of intermodal transportation, which is often considered as a sustainable transportation alternative, rather low compared to road transportation. There are several reasons for this situation, including the increased need coordination scheduled transport services and reduced reliability chains in case disruptions. In regard, developing an advanced algorithmic approach can help handle re...

Hinterland transportation has become increasingly critical for global container supply chain performance. However, the literature on the management of the container supply chain tends to overlook the issues related to hinterland transportation. The problem we consider here is faced by a deep-sea terminal operator who wants to open an inland terminal to facilitate its operations. When developed ...

Introduction During this century several transportation modes, including transit, personal automobiles, and airplanes, have competed for market share. Despite this competition, the personal vehicle has become the dominant form of mobility in many countries throughout Europe and North America. In turn, public transit has found it increasingly difficult to attract and retain passengers. This pape...

The ceaselessly increasing number of trips on urban highways and major arterial roads have caused serious congestion and air pollution problems. Thus many transportation agencies have persevered in their efforts not only to alleviate such problems, but also to minimize social costs. However, the complex nature of such problems has strongly hindered transportation agencies’ ability to consider a...

In the management of container sea-rail intermodal transportation, dynamic pricing problem with uncertain conditions has significant impacts on the benefit and competitiveness of a multimodal transport operator. Based on the revenue management theory and the features of container sea-rail intermodal transport, this paper develops a two stages optimal model which integrates dynamic pricing and s...
