Routing of barge container ships by mixed-integer programming heuristics
We investigate the optimization of transport routes of barge container ships with the objective to maximize the profit of a shipping company. This problem consists of determining the upstream and downstream calling sequence and the number of loaded and empty containers transported between any two ports. We present a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation for this problem. The probl...
متن کاملMaritime Ports and Inland Interconnections: a Transactional Analysis of Container Barge Transport in France
Recent research on maritime ports hinterlands points out the relevance of mass ground transport modes such as barge transport for enormous flows of containers to and from harbours, especially when a maritime port is located at the mouth of a river. Though, the modal share of container barge transport in French maritime ports (9% of TEU in Le Havre and 5% in Marseille in 2007) is significantly l...
متن کاملOptimal shipping routes and vessel size for intermodal barge transport with empty container repositioning
Despite the growing role of barge transportation in the hinterland access of major seaports in Northwestern Europe, service network design for intermodal barge transportation has received little research attention. In this paper, a decision support model for service network design in intermodal barge transportation is presented. The model determines optimal shipping routes for roundtrip service...
متن کاملModelling 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...
متن کاملThe “Intelligent Container”—A Cognitive Sensor Network for Transport Management
The “Intelligent Container” is a sensor network used for the management of logistic processes, especially for perishable goods such as fruit and vegetables. The system measures relevant parameters such as temperature and humidity. The concept of “cognitive systems” provides an adequate description of the complex supervision tasks and sensor data handling. The cognitive system can make use of se...
