“…Closing times of containers represent specific times at which containers need to be at a terminal. The main reason for a closing time is the fact that the container has to be shipped with an ocean going vessel, which departs at a specific time (Sinclair and Van Dyk, 1987). We therefore assume that only those containers that have to be transshipped at a terminal where also sea vessels are processed, can have a closing time.…”

“…Sinclair and Dyk ( [20]) give an excellent description on practical constraints and issues of this problem. Smilowitz et al([23]) model this problem as a multi-resource routing problem and solve it by the column generation technique, regarding the "driver and tractor" as a single resource.…”

The drayage services between a container terminal and the origin (or destination) of a shipment account for a significant portion of the total transportation cost. They are the key sources of shipment delays, road congestions, and disruptions in the international logistics network. Such a situation is even worse when the drayage services involve cross-border issues. Using Hong Kong, the busiest port in the world, as an example, we illustrate the challenges and issues in managing drayage activities in hub cities. We show that managing cross-border drayage container transportation is a very challenging problem because not only individual resources (e.g., driver, tractor, and chassis) but also the composites of them (e.g., the driver-tractor-chassis triplets) need to be managed simultaneously. The problem is further complicated by the regulatory * Corresponding author. † The authors would like to thank the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong to support the research through Grant 612206. 1 policies which govern the cross-border activities. We use an attribute-decision model for this problem and implement an adaptive labeling algorithm to solve it. We conduct numerical experiments to evaluate the system performances under various regulatory policies. The results show that the benefit gained by relaxing the regulatory policies is significant.

“…Research on the potential for such cost savings, the problems, and the benefits are covered with a blending of research and industrial perspectives in a paper by John Sammon, vice president, intermodal, at Conrail at the time of the research, and in Morlok (20) and in Morlok et al (21). Empirical studies of water-based movements have also concluded that substantial savings are possible (22).…”

The development of innovative systems for rail and maritime terminals is an issue high on the agenda of the transport industry. In Europe, a number of new transport systems for unitized cargoes are already in the mature design or pilot phase. A study was done to present a subset of these systems for which pilot demonstrations exist, to identify the basic directions of the relevant technological research and to evaluate the effects of these systems on the structural and operational environment of the terminals. The relevant analysis was based on the experience extracted by field trials as well as by modeling tasks used for the evaluation of the related terminal performance. It was revealed that tasks such as the reduction of terminal access time, fast train loading and unloading, and achievement of high degrees in equipment automation are technically and operationally feasible.
