Intermodal transportation plays an important role in the global economy. Many manufacturing sectors require various components remote locations. is used to ensure that production processes are not interrupted. The war particularly affected Ukraine's entire intermodal system. Ports, shelters and piers stopped their activities. main shifted road transportation. airports were completely destroyed ...

Transportation has historically had a major influence on cities their locations, growth and form. Civil engineers were the leading public servants in construction of railway and transit systems. With diversification of transportation and, particularly, growth of highways, the solutions to urban transportation have become extremely complex. Instead of only building new facilities, it is now nece...

Title of Document: Intermodal Transfer Coordination in Logistic Networks Cheng-Chieh (Frank) Chen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Dr. Paul M. Schonfeld, Professor Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Increasing awareness that globalization and information technology affect the patterns of transport and logistic activities has increased interest in the integration of interm...

Determining the optimal number and location of intermodal transshipment terminals is a decision that strongly influences the viability of the intermodal transportation alternative. In this paper, we develop a model and an optimization method that provides policy makers with a tool to help them take these decisions. 5 The objective of the terminal location problem described in this paper is to d...

We propose efficient intermodal transportation auctions for the B2B e-commerce logistics problem (ELP). This paper is among the first to consider transaction costs into auctions. In the ELP, the shipper is a B2B e-commerce platform by which a number of online orders between goods sellers and buyers are generated, and 3PLs (third-party logistics providers) can fulfill these online orders. The sh...

In this paper, a planning problem is analysed for a consolidation transportation system in order to serve different transportation requests (i.e., orders) with different origins and destinations and different characteristics. The considered transportation system is a railway network provided with innovative terminals (where handling operations are realized very much faster than in traditional t...

We study a cement transportation problem with asset-management (equipment selection) for strategic planning scenarios involving multiple forms of transportation and network expansion. A deterministic mixed integer programming approach is difficult due to the underlying capacitated multi-commodity network flow model and the need to consider a time-space network to ensure operational feasibility....

Accessibility of main sea ports by road has become increasingly difficult due to rapid growth in container throughput. To deal with this challenge, new ways for handling containers and distribution of cargo flows are needed to define and implement. One possibility is going beyond container transportation and considering cargos inside the containers in the design and operation of transportation ...

Tianjin Port has 3 container sea-rail combined transport channels leading to inland ports, and it is one of the intermodal transportation nodes my country’s “One Belt One Road” key construction. This paper introduces development status Port’s transport, uses SWOT analyze strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats proposes optimization strategies on this basis.

It is expected that freight transport in the European Union will grow significantly and road transport will account for a major part of this growth. By 2020 almost 30% of CO2 emissions in the European Union will be caused by transportation. It is obvious that our present patterns of transport growth are unsustainable. One way toward more sustainable transport is to explicitly take greenhouse ga...
