How to Park Freight Trains on Rail-Rail Transshipment Yards: The Train Location Problem
In modern rail-rail transshipment yards huge gantry cranes spanning all railway tracks allow for an e cient transshipment of containers between di erent freight trains. This way, multiple trains loaded with cargo for varying destinations can be consolidated to a reduced number of homogeneous trains, which is an essential requirement of hub-and-spoke railway systems. An important problem during ...
متن کاملScheduling Freight Trains in Rail-Rail Transshipment Yards
Transshipment yards, where gantry cranes allow for an e cient transshipment of containers between di erent freight trains, are important entities in modern railway systems and facilitate the general shift from point-to-point transport to hub-and-spoke railway systems. Modern rail-rail transshipment yards accelerate container handling, so that multiple smaller trains with equal destination can b...
متن کاملThe Capacitated Transshipment Location Problem under Uncertainty
We consider the stochastic capacitated transshipment problem for freight transportation where an optimal location of the transshipment facilities, which minimizes the total cost, must be found. The total cost is given by the sum of the total fixed cost plus the expected minimum total flow cost, when the throughput costs of the facilities are random variables with unknown probability distributio...
متن کاملInventory-Routing Problem in Sea Freight: Direct versus Transshipment Model
In this paper, we present a problem in international shipping which combines the ship routing problem with inventory considerations. A fleet of ships is responsible for the transportation of a given commodity between a supply port and the demand ports. Their routes should be selected so that the total transportation cost and the inventory cost is minimized. Although a generic mixedinteger progr...
متن کاملMulti-location transshipment problem with capacitated production
We consider coordination among stocking locations through replenishment strategies that explicitly take into account lateral transshipments, i.e., transfer of a product among locations at the same echelon level. Our basic contribution is the incorporation of supply capacity into the traditional transshipment model. Our goal is to analyze the impact on system behavior and on stocking locations’ ...
