This paper analyzes the second-best pricing and investment rules to be followed in the transportation industries in the presence of intermodal competition, exogenous price distortions, and financing constraints, using both theoretical and simulation analysis. It shows that price distortions and financing constraints in one mode will not only affect the investment rules in that mode, but will al...

Quick and qualitative services are not new issues anymore in Logistics but those are still important problems along with cost-cutting. Related to the issues, though advanced information technologies are introduced unceasingly from laboratories, yet there is long way to go for smooth and seamless information flows on physical distribution processes in the industrial field. For the reason, the st...

The purpose of this research and development project is to construct the foundations of a logistics IT centre with a universal and intermodal character, i.e., covering all modes of transportation and corresponding central functions related to warehouses and container terminals. Through its modular structure it is applicable to arbitrary concrete site dependent needs. It also contains intelligen...

The Yellow Sea region is becoming an engine of economic growth for Northeast Asia. Its growth and prosperity will depend upon how well it is able to focus on improving the efficiencies of its intermodal transportation system, infrastructure, its connection to other economies and how the system relates to logistics and supply-chain management. The region is moving towards becoming a major world ...

Standardised cargo units, such as the container, have been a great technical invention for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of international transport chains. Maybe the biggest advantage of these units comes from their modularity. Modularisation can also be seen as a prerequisite for future transport systems while integrating the physcial cargo flows and related information more close...
