Devising an automated technology to organize the railroad transportation of containers for intermodal deliveries based on the theory of point processes

Abstract

Management of intermodal transportation is a complex and responsible process. Operators use railroads in combination with maritime transport in international and intercontinental container shipping traditionally. The task of railroad transport is to provide transportation on the so-called "land bridges"-land sections, where a route begins or ends, or through which it passes as transit. Delays in the delivery of goods in the field of container intermodal transport do not decrease despite a considerable level of computerization and informatization. A poor speed of container trains is a significant factor in delays. The problem is common. It concerns not only intermodal operators, who use Siberian and Eurasian continental land bridges, which cross Russia and Kazakhstan, respectively, to deliver goods from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to Eastern Europe. It also applies to the US and Canadian land bridges through which Japanese goods reach consumers in the US and Canada, and through ports in Germany and the Netherlands to consumers in Western Europe. The reason is a lack of effective approaches to the formation of control systems that would 6 CONTROL PROCESSES

Dynamic Multimodal Transport Systems with The Participation of Railway Transport: Work Management Technology

“…The efficiency of multimodal transportation is determined by the level of coordination of different modes of transport and 220 transshipment points. Since chaotic development can lead to unreasonable costs for a particular industry, there must be a balance in the development of each mode of transport and transshipment points in the field of multimodal transportation in order to meet customer needs [19].…”

Robust Optimization of Transport Organization for China Railway Express

“…Moreover, the development of robust scheduling models for railway container transportation organizations, considering external factors, is a critical area of study. Parkhomenko et al [15,16] introduced a rapid railway container transport organization model utilizing robust optimization techniques. Their model adopts a multi-objective approach, integrating considerations for the environment, traffic, municipal administration, and the economy.…”
