“…The findings of the modal choice literature often yield higher user preferences related to road transport based on the user's needs. Intermodal transport, which is a combination of two or more modes in one unified journey [5], provides more options and opportunities for a positive modal shift. However, the development of intermodal decision support models, where more actors and modes are incorporated (compared to unimodal), are hampered by limited data availability and its static nature [6].…”

Synchromodal transport incorporates real-time events in a dynamic manner in order to facilitate the most suitable selection of modes, routes and handling points. Up until now, current assessments rely on analytical models. Most of these models average distances for barges and trains via route mapping platforms that provide realistic distances for road only. To reflect on real-world developments more accurately, new thinking and modelling approaches are necessary to bridge academic models with physical transport processes. This paper introduces a computational model which computes movements of agents in geographically referenced space. The model captures stochastic parallel processes for each mode, and simulates decentralized delivery performance of each order in terms of cost, time and emissions at an operational level. Furthermore, we study the routing of individual orders and their responsiveness to disruptions. Computational experiments are performed within a case study which concerns imports of retail goods by unimodal truck transport from France to Belgium. Our findings show that dynamic synchromodal solutions cope with disturbances better, but unnecessary deviations and pro-activeness can also lead to negative effects when compared to static intermodal solutions

“…The shift towards an overall efficient approach creates new challenges on both the strategic, network design level, on the tactic, flow scheduling level and on the operational, specific movements level. For synchromodal transport it can be argued that the time-horizon of decisions taken on the tactical level becomes closer to the time-horizon of decisions on the operational level [1], when the flows and services can be re-planned based on online information. A key enabler for this change is the concept of a-modal bookings where the service of transport is bought instead of a slot on a specific connection.…”

When containers are transported on a-modal bookings, the transport supplier can decide which combination of trucks, trains, ships, etc. to use. This gives the flexibility to transport suppliers to route the containers in accordance with the current state of the synchromodal transport network. At the same time, it enables the transport providers to route their vehicles in real time based on the current need for transportation. The interdependency of the routes of containers and of vehicles has not yet been discussed explicitly in the synchromodal literature. The aim of this paper is thus to illustrate the effect of planning the routes of containers and trucks as one integrated problem. This is addressed with a model predictive control planning method. Simulation experiments of a synchromodal hinterland network are used to illustrate the method's potential.

“…In recent years a large amount of literature has been published on the topic of synchromodal transportation. Most studies focus on creating efficient transportation plans, as is the purpose in the long line of research of intermodal planning problems, noted in the overviews of Caris et al (2013), SteadieSeifi et al 2014, Reis (2015) and Dong et al (2018). Ambra et al (2019) compare findings of synchromodal transportation research with findings in relation to the physical internet.…”

Revenue management with two fare classes in synchromodal container transportation

et al. 2020

The cargo fare class mix (CFCM) problem aims to find the optimal fare class mix for a given intermodal transportation network based on known client demands. It is based on a revenue management problem for aviation passengers, the fare class mix problem, but considering intermodal cargo transportation, two major differences apply. Firstly, the CFCM’s premise is that long-term commitments to customers must be provided, such that a customer has a guaranteed daily capacity. Secondly, cargo may be rescheduled or rerouted, as long as the customer’s delivery due date is met. Our goal is to balance revenue maximisation and capacity utilisation by optimally combining two delivery service levels. Therefore, the optimisation problem is to select fare class limits at a tactical level up to which transportation demand will be accepted on a daily basis at the operational level. Any accepted demand that does not fit on the available network capacity during operation, must be transported by truck at increased expenses for the network operator. In this paper, we propose a faster method than the previously proposed solution method for a single corridor network and we provide proofs for the optimality of the result. Using this, we extend the problem to an intermodal network of multiple corridors. We provide numerical results for different settings, in which we compare the baseline of individual corridor optimums with the result of using rerouting. Finally, we apply the methods in a case study for an intermodal transportation network in North-West Europe.
