An optimization model for management of empty containers in distribution network of a logistics company under uncertainty
In transportation via containers, unbalanced movement of loaded containers forces shipping companies to reposition empty containers. This study addresses the problem of empty container repositioning (ECR) in the distribution network of a European logistics company, where some restrictions impose decision making in an uncertain environment. The problem involves dispatching empty contain...
متن کاملA Novel Predictive Control Based Framework for Optimizing Intermodal Container Terminal Operations
Due to the increase in world-wide containerized cargo transport port authorities are facing considerable pressure to increase efficiency of existing facilities. Container vessels with 18, 000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) are expected soon to create high flow peaks at container terminals.

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 کاملDynamic Pricing Model of Container Sea-Rail Intermodal Transport on Single OD Line
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...
