This paper describes the structure and implementation of the Intermodal Airport Ground Access Planning Tool (IAPT) that has been developed to provide an integrated analytical system to support airport ground access planning. The tool models the interaction between three components of the system: air passenger mode choice behavior, transportation provider competitive behavior (modeled as a gener...

Determining the optimal layout of an intermodal terminal network, more specifically the optimal locations of the terminals, is a complicated matter that requires adequate decision support tools. In this paper, a bi-objective model is developed, minimizing both the transportation cost for the users of the terminal network, as well as the location cost for the terminal operators. A problem-specif...

This study analyses how port governance systems in Europe have influenced the implementation of initiatives focused on promoting modal shifts freight transportation. Through a comprehensive review strategies, this research identified 49 individual shift among 21 authorities Europe. The results show that ports located Northern regions and managed by local governments, particularly Belgium Nether...

This paper proposes new research themes concerning decision support in intermodal transport. Decision support models have been constructed for private stakeholders (e.g. network operators, drayage operators, terminal operators or intermodal operators) as well as for public actors such as policy makers and port authorities. Intermodal research topics include policy support, terminal network desi...

Intermodal transportation is the use of multiple modes transportation, which can lead to greater sustainability by reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion increasing efficiency supply chains. One preconditions for efficient intermodal transport terminal (IT). ITs allow smooth handling cargo, thus time, cost, transportation. Adequate selection subsystem technologies significantly im...

Mobility can be considered as an important factor when it comes to assessing ones’ quality of life. Today, there are many different means of transportation available, each one with its particular advantages and drawbacks. Recently, a whole set of new transportation concepts made some noise in the world. As an example, consider electric vehicles or Carand Ride Sharing providers. We do not wish t...
