Modelling inland terminal locations based on transport cost optimisation
International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics, 2020The position of inland terminal in transportation network depends on several elements. Selection of these elements has significant influence on its final location. This paper presents the quantitative method to define the optimal location of inland terminal in a node of railway network, primarily based on transportation cost savings.

Supporting the design of an inland container terminal through visualization, simulation and gaming
36th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2003. Proceedings of the, 2003The planning and design of an inland container terminal is a complex task due to many interrelated design parameters and interdependent stakeholders. Design tools may support the optimization of technical, economic and logistical values, but this optimization is strongly inhibited by conflicting interests, political and environmental boundaries and ...

Development of priority rules for handlings in inland port container terminals with simulation
Journal of Simulation, 2016A container terminal is a complex system with many subsystems, for example stacking area, cranes and vehicles, and a large number of decisions for each subsystem. Due to the interactions of these subsystems, there is a lot of stochastic influence and interdependencies within the decisions, which make an optimized operation of a whole container terminal

Modeling of Logistics Objectives at Rail-Road Inland Transshipment Terminals
The logistics performance of inland transshipment terminals, such as rail-road container terminals, is crucial for establishing a reliable combined transport and for accomplishing sustainability goals. Main logistics objectives, such as high output rate and short throughput times, cannot be achieved simultaneously, creating an objective conflict ...Volodymyr Alieksieiev +3 more

Multi-agent simulation for analysing the robustness of inland container terminal networks
International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling, 2011Using a multi–agent system, representing the nodes in the network of the Austrian inland container terminals, and using a system dynamics approach to depict the terminals' internal structures and processes in an aggregate manner, we perform network flow analyses of intermodal load units in case of unforeseen disturbances.

Crane scheduling method for train reloading at inland intermodal container terminal
2012 IEEE 10th Jubilee International Symposium on Intelligent Systems and Informatics, 2012The increase of the volume of containerized goods in the worldwide trade imposes the need for the analysis and improvement of all aspects of container transport logistic chains, and therefore also the organization of inland intermodal terminals and the mechanization for reloading of containers from ships (barges), trains and trucks. This paper analyzes

Cargo prioritization and terminal allocation problem for inland waterway disruptions
Maritime Economics & Logistics, 2017To mitigate inland waterway disruption impacts, we introduce the cargo prioritization and terminal allocation problem (CPTAP) to minimize the total value loss of disrupted barge cargoes. CPTAP is formulated as a nonlinear binary integer program, and problems of realistic size can be efficiently and effectively solved with a genetic algorithm approach ...

The concept of inland shipping service to the Container Terminal Świnoujscie
2013In the paper the concept of the system of inland shipping connections to the proposed deep-water Container Terminal Świnoujście is presented. In the introduction argumentation for the container terminal in the port of Świnoujście investment is given. The terminal is briefly described in terms of its infrastructure and operating assumptions. In the next
