ASSUMPTIONS OF SMALL‐SCALE INTERMODAL TRANSPORT

Determinants of Intermodal Transport and Turkey’s Transport Infrastructure

1. Introduction Intermodalism has been increasing both in the world and Turkey due to the demand and supply side developments in transport industry. Turkey has great potential in terms of intermodal transportation owing to its privileged geographical position amid European, Central Asia and Middle Eastern countries. The trend in development patterns in the Mediterrenean, the Black Sea, The CIS ...

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...

Path 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...

Optimization of empty container movements in intermodal transport

Simulation-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...
