Intermodal Freight Transportation
The 21st century will see a renewed focus on intermodal freight transportation driven by the changing requirements of global supply chains. Each of the transportation modes (air, inland water, ocean, pipeline, rail, and road) has gone through technological evolution and has functioned separately under a modally based regulatory structure for most of the 20th century. With the development of con...
متن کاملQuantity discount with freight consolidation
We study an integrated quantity discount and vehicle routing problem where truck utilization is increased by building multi-stop routes and increasing order sizes through a purchase incentive. We model the problem and prove it to be NP-hard. Our experiments show that commercial solvers do not effectively solve instances with more than ten buyers. We propose the use of non-compromising route eli...
متن کاملModelling Complex Intermodal Freight Flows
In regions with an extensive waterway network intermodal transport including inland navigation is a good alternative for unimodal road transport. Intermodal transport networks exhibit an increased complexity due to the inclusion of multiple transport modes, multiple decision makers and multiple types of load units. A discrete event simulation methodology is proposed to understand the network dy...
متن کاملIntermodal Freight Terminals: Marketing Channels and Transport Networks:
The goal of this paper is to combine the current theory about marketing channels with combined transport and logistics in order to develop a customer-based and broadly applicable approach to the study of combined freight transport in Europe. Furthermore, this paper seeks to provide an analytical framework as a starting point for the analysis of the performance-in terms of quality-of intermodal ...
متن کاملCollaborative Planning in Intermodal Freight Transportation
Very few research efforts have been spent on the coordination of plans and operations of independent carriers in an intermodal transportation chain. The impact of this lack of collaboration and coordination is shown in an accordant scenario and first ideas are presented to overcome this situation following the principles of decentralized planning.
