“…Hub and spoke networks are widely used in many aspects of life, such as telecommunications, mail distribution, emergency services, computer networks, transportation systems, etc. [28]. The implementation of the hub and spoke design in intermodal transport has been proposed as one of the possible solutions to increase the share of intermodal transport in total freight transport [21].…”

Foliated transport networks represent a concept that aims to improve the efficiency of the transport system by combining direct connections and hub and spoke design. In addition to combining these designs, a foliated transport network requires a high level of dynamic planning and control, as well as optimisation of goods and resources between the different network layers. It highlights the advantages of individual transport network designs and minimizes their weaknesses, ultimately leading to better performance of the foliated system than the individual options. The purpose of this paper is to describe the basic models of the freight transport network and the benefits of connecting these models. This survey paper aims to provide an overview of previous research in the field of foliated transport networks and to provide future research guidelines in this field that include the application of this model in intermodal transport.

“…Nevertheless, the number of hubs does not continuously elevate despite the fact that the cost constant increased 6.85-fold. This indicates that the cost savings in terms of transportation costs cannot compensate for the cost required for an additional processing hub [61]. Additionally, when the transportation cost constantly increases, the amount of biomass sent from the plantation areas to processing hubs decreases.…”

The valorisation of biomass by synthesising a multi-biomass corridor can be an optimistic pathway to solving the growing waste management problem. However, the supply chain problem usually involves a massive number of variables, including the connectivity of the sink source and the selection of a technology pathway. In this work, a “Decomposition Approach” was utilised, wherein a P-graph was incorporated with a conventional mathematical model to reduce the number of variables. Although this type of approach is well established with respect to solving biomass supply chain problems, no previous works have comprehensively considered the effect of the maximum allowable travel distance (MATD) on a supply chain model. A case study in Peninsular Malaysia involving oil palm, paddy, and coconut biomass was conducted using the proposed approach. Moreover, a multiple linear regression (MLR) tool for formulating the cost-correlated function based on the best technology pathway obtained from a P-Graph was incorporated. As a result, the net profit of the biomass corridor was estimated to be USD 0.87 billion, with 1.45 × 107 tonnes per year of biomass being sent to 39 processing hubs over a 20-year lifespan. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was also conducted to investigate the impact of several cost-related parameters on the net profit.

“…Huang et al [ 45 ] considered the problem of multimodal transit network design in a hub-and-spoke network framework and proposed a bi-level programming model to determine the frequencies of each mode. Zhou et al [ 48 ] studied hub-and-spoke logistics network designs considering the relationship between service pricing and the co-opetition from the perspective of duopoly logistics enterprises that set up networks jointly and allow for the transfer of both surplus capacity and carbon credits.…”

The growing transportation risk of hazardous materials (hazmat) is an important threat to public safety. As an efficient and reliable mode of transportation, the multimodal hub-and-spoke transport network helps to achieve economies of scale and reduce costs. Considering the dual goals of risk and cost management of hazmat transportation, a novel optimization model of a multimodal hub-and-spoke network with detour (MHSNWD) for hazmat on the strategic level is designed. It integrates the planning of hub location and route selection based on the risk quantification for different transportation modes. Additionally, a detour strategy is applied, which allows for more than two hub nodes to be selected to form an optimal path between any supply and demand nodes in a hub-and-spoke network. Then, the risk is taken as the main objective and the cost is converted into a budget constraint to solve the model by using CPLEX. Additionally, a numerical study is conducted based on a CAB dataset to find the influence of the number of hubs and budget constraints on the optimization results. In addition, a counterpart model of the multimodal hub-and-spoke network without detour (MHSNOD) is tested to validate the advantages of the proposed model of MHSNWD. The numerical experiment shows that an appropriate increase in the number of hubs and the cost budget can remarkably reduce network risk. Compared with MHSNOD, the optimal result of MHSNWD can achieve a marginal improvement in risk reduction. This work may provide an informative decision-making reference for planning a hazmat transportation network.
