The future increased terminal capacity will result in more container movement through the road complex and rail siding, which are one of most critical areas (potential bottlenecks) terminal. Truck turnaround time is major factors that customers take into account while deciding how many volumes they handle To enable to optimize traffic with development, as well increase gates throughput, a conse...

Rail operators are developing their own Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) applications for mobility management, integrating all the transport links door-to-door intermodal journeys. In this context, paper analyses main challenges railway face when implementing new MaaS on a national scale, analysing and evaluating factors influencing successful implementation of in cities with high-speed rail servic...

rail operations from infrastructure ownership and management, the government-owned national railways still maintain a symbiotic relationship with infrastructure providers. New entrants to rail business face considerable hurdles in terms of access to infrastructure and operations at border crossings. Moreover, passenger traffic has precedence over freight traffic. Thus, train timetables are crea...

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...

This paper studies the impact of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on local development in Europe. In particular, we analyze regional treatment effects introduction China Railway Express economic growth, employment, intermodal transport volumes. The commissioning rail connections under umbrella BRI provides a natural experiment that can be evaluated empirically using causal inference techniques. O...

Sweden has been a front runner in vertical separation. We use data from the business long-distance corridor to calibrate and define demand supply model. simulate how profit, welfare, fares, frequencies, modal shares train size depend on level of track charges. welfare optimal charges, given different levels congestion track, hence using charges as pricing instrument allocate slots efficiently. ...

Sustainability is a common concern in intermodal transport. Collaboration among carriers may help reducing emissions. In this context, work establishes collaborative planning model for transport and uses eco-labels (a series of different levels emission ranges) to reflect shippers’ sustainability preferences. A mathematical an Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search heuristic are proposed fuzzy set ...
