Freight transport network design using particle swarm optimisation in supply chain¬タモtransport supernetwork equilibrium
This paper presents a discrete network design problem for optimally designing freight transport network in terms of the efficiency of supply chain. Modelling is undertaken within the framework of mathematical programmes with equilibrium constraints, which first incorporates both supply chain and transport networks explicitly. The upper level determines the best set of actions for transport netw...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Accident Risk Assessment Tool for Freight Transport in Finland
A prototype of a computerized accident risk assessment tool for freight transport in Finland has been constructed based on a concept developed in an earlier stage of the study project. The tool is based on a realistic description on the road, rail and waterway networks, and real data on traffic flows and the occurrence of injury accidents on freight transports in Finland. The estimates of accid...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of the Provinces of Iran Reading To the Measures of Freight and Passenger Transportation
Freight and passenger transport are two main functions of the infrastructure and transportation networks in each country. It is required to efficiently utilize the transportation infrastructures to increase transportation-related performance measures. In this study, data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is used to evaluate performance of the Iranian provinces from the freight and passenger tran...
متن کاملPlanning Multimodal Freight Transport Operations: a Literature Review
Purpose: Multimodal freight transport developed in the transportation sector as an alternative to unimodal transport faced with the challenges brought by the growing global demand for transporting goods. Multimodal transport is the transportation of goods using at least two modes of transport, usually door-to-door. The common transport modes include railways, maritime routes, and the roads. Whe...
متن کاملA freight transport optimization model for integrated network, service, and policy design
This paper presents a freight transport optimization model that simultaneously incorporates multimodal infrastructure, hub-based service network structures, and the various design objectives of multiple actors. The model has been calibrated and validated using real-life data from the case study of hinterland container transport of the Netherlands, where CO2 pricing, terminal network configurati...
