“…Xue et al [37,38] examined the ICT problem under separation mode and designed a max-min ACO algorithm to solve largescale problems. Caballini et al [39] considered the cooperating of multiple trucks carries. Sun et al [40] investigated Ro-ro shipping under the land-sea combined transportation problem, and proposed a new port-swap mode that is based on separation mode.…”

This paper investigates the Inland Container Transportation (ICT) problem with carbon dioxide emissions. The separation mode that the tractor and semi-trailer could be detached and it permits multitasking to reduce fuel and carbon emission costs. A mixed-integer programming model with Full-Empty container integration has been built. An improved ant colony optimization with two-dimensional variable matrix encoding and Infeasible-Arc filtration strategy has been proposed. Numerical experiments with different scales and characteristics are simulated and validated in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The comparison result indicates the excellent stability for our approach with different task characteristic distribution.

“…Horizontal collaborations have been studied for shippers [15][16][17][18] and carriers [4,5,7,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The main goal of collaboration among shippers is to negotiate better rates with the carriers, while the goal of collaboration among carriers is to reduce costs and compete with larger carriers.…”

“…The main goal of collaboration among shippers is to negotiate better rates with the carriers, while the goal of collaboration among carriers is to reduce costs and compete with larger carriers. As for solution methodology, various methods such as optimization [4,5,7,[15][16][17][18][19][20][22][23][24][25][26][27], game theory [7,15,17,19] and simulation [21,23,28] have been used. Optimization and game theory approaches have also been used successfully to solve different planning problems in intermodal transport (e.g., [29,30]).…”

Model for Collaboration among Carriers to Reduce Empty Container Truck Trips

In recent years, intermodal transport has become an increasingly attractive alternative to freight shippers. However, the current intermodal freight transport is not as efficient as it could be. Oftentimes an empty container needs to be transported from the empty container depot to the shipper, and conversely, an empty container needs to be transported from the receiver to the empty container depot. These empty container movements decrease the freight carrier’s profit, as well as increase traffic congestion, decrease roadway safety, and add unnecessary emissions to the environment. To this end, our study evaluates a potential collaboration strategy to be used by carriers for domestic intermodal freight transport based on an optimization approach to reduce the number of empty container trips. A binary integer-linear programming model is developed to determine each freight carrier’s optimal schedule while minimizing its operating cost. The model ensures that the cost for each carrier with collaboration is less than or equal to its cost without collaboration. It also ensures that average savings from the collaboration are shared equally among all participating carriers. Additionally, two stochastic models are provided to account for uncertainty in truck travel times. The proposed collaboration strategy is tested using empirical data and is demonstrated to be effective in meeting all of the shipment constraints.

“…A backhaul-based horizontal cooperation analyzing the effects of the cooperation and the environmental impact of road transportation was developed byÁngel, Faulin, Perez-Bernabeu, and Josewoiez [19]. Additionally, Caballini, Sacone, and Saeednia [20] used cooperation for drayage operations, where time windows, trip deadliness, and fleet size were considered over several experiments focused to analyze the number of trips, carrier profit, and others over an Italian real dataset.…”

Context: Cooperation in supply chain management is an important issue considering the global performance of the different echelons of a specific supply chain. In this sense, applying logistic strategies such as VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) allows a system to manage distribution processes from a central point or depot. Additionally, the components of the chain work more closely with it, which allows increasing global performance, instead of individually developing each sector. Method: A stochastic mathematical model is proposed which considers a network of customers, where products are delivered from a central depot. These customers can share part of their product with the central depot for redistribution, aiming to minimize shortage for other customers. A mathematical model is proposed which includes the elements involved in distribution processes. It is then reformulated to consider shortage and the linearization of some of its elements. Results: Results show that implementing or adapting logistic strategies, such as managing from a central point and sharing resources along the supply chain, allows companies to reduce the complexity of some decisions and improve performance. Conclusions: Implementing logistic strategies such as centralized management and sharing resources along a supply network allows companies to reduce the complexity of some decisions and, in turn, improve their performance.
