“…A decision support system is constructed by Boardman et al (1997) to assist shippers in selecting the least cost combination of transportation modes (truck, rail, air, barge) between a given origin and a corresponding destination. As an indicator of cost, average transportation rates for each transportation mode are used.…”

Intermodal transportation is a research topic of great interest at present. This paper presents a route choice analysis on an intermodal freight transportation network. The aim of this study was to determine the optimum route and mode of transportation based on least distance and least time criteria for the movement of containers from origin to the destination. Geographic Information System (GIS) was adopted to build the hypothetical freight transportation network and MATLAB software was used to model the travel distance and travel time. The results showed that the model can be used effectively to identify the shortest path and modes of transportation according to objective functions.

“…The network is not optimised in general, but per order. Boardman et al (1997) used a method that selects the cheapest path per container on a real-time basis. Ziliaskopoulos (2000) proposed a model that selects the leasttime path, considering dynamic travel and transfer times.…”

Impact and relevance of transit disturbances on planning in intermodal container networks using disturbance cost analysis

et al. 2014

An intermodal container transportation network is being developed between Rotterdam and several inland terminals in North West Europe: the EUROPEAN GATEWAY SERVICES network. This network is developed and operated by the sea terminals of EUROPE CONTAINER TERMINALS (ECT). To use this network cost-efficiently, centralised planning by the sea terminal of the container transportation is required. For adequate planning it is important to adapt to occurring disturbances. In this paper, a new mathematical model is proposed: the Linear Container Allocation model with Time-restrictions (LCAT). This model is used for determining the influence of three main types of transit disturbances on the network performance: early departure, late departure, and cancellation of inland services. The influence of a disturbance is measured in two ways. The impact measures the additional cost incurred by an updated planning in case of a disturbance. The relevance measures the cost difference between a fully updated and a locally updated plan. With the results of the analysis, key service properties of disturbed services that result in a high impact or high relevance can be determined. Based on this, the network operator can select focus areas to prevent disturbances with high impact and to improve the planning updates in case of disturbances with high relevance. In a case study of the EGS network, the impact and relevance of transit disturbances on all network services are assessed.
