“…The former consists of determining the optimal bidding price for a request (or for a bundle of requests), whereby the carrier's expected revenue is maximised (Agralı, Tan, and Karaesmen 2008;Dai, Chen, and Yang 2014;Kuyzu et al 2015;Gansterer and Hartl 2016;Qiao, Pan, and Ballot 2016). The latter consists of assigning many requests to many bidding carriers in an optimal way, usually solved using linear programming (Berger and Bierwirth 2010;Dai and Chen 2011;Kuo and Miller-Hooks 2012;Huang and Xu 2013;Xu and Huang 2013;Xu and Huang 2014;Chen 2016;Xu, Huang, and Cheng 2016;Lai, Cai, and Hu 2017). Moreover, auctions may have different mechanisms depending on the actual problem to be solved (see van Duin, Tavasszy, and Taniguchi (2007) and Verdonck et al (2013) for a comparison of the mechanisms).…”

“…Fourthly, not many studies focus on horizontal collaboration for intermodal transport, with only a few of the papers reviewed being devoted to this issue (see Puettmann and Stadtler 2010;Kuo and Miller-Hooks 2012;Pan, Ballot, and Fontane 2013;Sarraj et al 2014a). This line of research should be enhanced for the sake of sustainability in logistics.…”

Horizontal collaboration has been considered as effective practice for sustainable logistics and freight transport and it has gained increased attention in recent years. This paper aims to provide a survey of the development of horizontal collaborative transport (HCT) over the past ten years, to identify research trends and gaps, then to propose some research opportunities. The paper also aims to provide guidelines to logistics companies who wish to embark on HCT, to help them choose which HCT solution to implement. To provide a comprehensive and structured review, the paper follows the methodology for Systematic Literature Review proposed in the literature. A total of 120 scientific papers published between 2007 and 2017 were reviewed. A survey framework based on two axes-HCT solutions and implementation issues-is developed to analyse and position the papers. The results show that, regarding HCT solutions, carrier alliance and flow controller collaboration were the most frequently studied. But recent innovative solutions such as pooling and physical internet are also gaining increased attention. Regarding implementation issues, the focus of the literature has been on the development of decisionmaking models, including transport planning, lane exchange, and gain sharing. Conversely, managerial and technological issues have received less attention.

“…At the same time, the booming growth of e-commerce promoted the radiating capacity of regional commodity markets improved greatly. The urban railway also developed rapidly, it constructed the most convenient transportation channel, strengthening urban functions, and promoting the urban development for the huge and mid-size cities (Kuo and Miller-Hooks 2012). Gradually, some new towns in the suburbs had higher agglomerations of activity than did those on the border of the central urban area.…”

This paper analyzes the relationship among the inhabited environment, infrastructure development and environmental impacts in China's heavily urbanized Yangtze River Delta region. Using primary human environment data for the period 2006-2014, we examine factors affecting the inhabited environment and infrastructure development: urban population, GDP, built-up area, energy consumption, waste emission, transportation, real estate and urban greenery. Then we empirically investigate the impact of advanced urbanization with consideration of cities' differences. Results from this study show that the growth rate of the inhabited environment and infrastructure development is strongly influenced by regional development structure, functional orientations, traffic network and urban size and form. The effect of advanced urbanization is more significant in large and mid-size cities than huge and mega cities. Energy consumption, waste emission and real estate in large and midsize cities developed at an unprecedented rate with the rapid increase of economy. However, urban development of huge and mega cities gradually tended to be saturated. The transition development in these cities improved the inhabited environment and ecological protection instead of the urban construction simply. To maintain a sustainable advanced urbanization process, policy implications included urban sprawl control polices, ecological development mechanisms and reforming the economic structure for huge and mega cities, and construct major cross-regional infrastructure, enhance the carrying capacity and improvement of energy efficiency and structure for large and midsize cities.

“…For instance, combinatorial auctions have been used to competitively assign freight paths among train operators (Harrod 2013) in a planning phase. Game theoretical studies, mostly of cooperative game theory, and transferable utility assumptions, to study this allocation, can be found, for instance, in Bablinski (2015) and Kuo and Miller Hooks (2012).…”

Interactions and Equilibrium Between Rescheduling Train Traffic and Routing Passengers in Microscopic Delay Management: A Game Theoretical Study

In the last decade, optimization models for railway traffic rescheduling mostly focused on incorporating an increasing detail of the infrastructure, with the goal of proving feasibility and quality from the point of view of the managers of the infrastructure (tracks and stations). Different approaches that manage only the passenger flows instead focus more explicitly on the quality of service perceived by the passengers. This paper investigates microscopic railway traffic optimization models and algorithms, merging these two streams of research. In particular, we analyze the characterization of an equilibrium point between the reordering choices of train dispatchers in railway traffic optimization and the route choice of passengers in the available services of the railway transport network. We describe how passenger choice at stations along the route intertwines deeply with the problem of rescheduling trains over tracks and station resources in a very complicated setting that might not exhibit equilibrium points in general. Delaying trains and/or dropping passenger connections and/or giving particular route advice to passengers might influence the behavior of traffic controllers and passengers, determining a trade-off between the delays of trains, weighted by the passenger load, and the travel time of passengers. We study this problem with a game theoretical approach, focusing on the solutions corresponding to Nash equilibria of a game involving passengers and infrastructure managers. The proposed game theoretical approach is able to easily consider information and interdependence of the actions of multiple stakeholders. Computational results based on a real-world Dutch railway network quantify the trade-off between the minimization of train delays and passenger travel times and the performance, stability, and convergence of the equilibrium point given different algorithms and information available. The final aim of this work is to study the impact of effective implementations of railway traffic management and dissemination of information to passengers and operators.
