The Combination of Mega Intermodal Freight Trains (MIFTs) and Mega Intermodal Hub (MIH) for Intermodal Transport

CICTP 2012, 2012
It is challenging for the transportation industry to balance transport costs and carbon emissions. However, intermodal transport is viewed as a modal which can effectively improve transportation capacity and reduce carbon emissions. The aim of this research is to explore the combination of mega intermodal freight trains (MIFTs) and Mega Intermodal Hubs

Approaches to empty container repositioning problems in the context of Eurasian intermodal transportation

Omega, 2019
Container transportation has become an important part of global transportation and it may gain a new potential in the light of the Chinese One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, known in Europe also as the New Silk Road.

Spatial evolution model of port group hinterland from the perspective of intermodal transport

Maritime Policy & Management, 2021
The rapid development of the intermodal system has led to the intensification of the hinterland competition within the port group, and the spatial pattern of the hinterland has become discontinuous.

A new logistics model for increasing economic sustainability of perishable food supply chains through intermodal transportation

, 2020
As urgency in limiting greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions has increased, greening freight and perishable food logistics activities has become an issue of interest. Intermodal rail-road transportation allows for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Multimodal, Intermodal and Terminals

2017
This chapter is focused on how to measure the operational performance of rail freight terminals in a framework of integrated transportation network. In an increasingly competitive and commercialised world, there is an increasing demand to be able to rank transport options and routes in some way.

Transshipment operations optimization of sea-rail intermodal container in seaport rail terminals

Computers & industrial engineering, 2020
This paper tackles the sea-rail transshipment operation problem of seaport rail terminals, which includes two key sub-problems involved in sea-rail intermodal container transportation, namely train schedule template and transshipment plan of inbound ...

Gateways and intermodalism

Journal of Transport Geography, 1998
Abstract With their massive transhipment, major seaports in Europe can generate scale economies to operate intermodal transport cost effective to numerous destinations with high frequency. In that way, the ports seem to be able to stimulate intermodal transport and open new markets beyond their traditional hinterlands. The growing container transport

Emission limits and emission allocation schemes in intermodal freight transportation

, 2020
The problem addressed in this paper seeks for an optimal routing of freight orders through an intermodal transportation network. We consider the case of environmentally aware customers that request to ship orders with no more than a specified amount of ...
