An intermodal transport network planning algorithm using dynamic programming�…

This paper presents a dynamic programming algorithm to draw optimal intermodal freight routing with regard to international logistics of container cargo for export and import. This study looks into the characteristics of intermodal transport using multi-modes, and presents aWeighted Constrained Shortest Path Problem (WCSPP) model. This study draws Pareto optimal solutions that can simultaneousl…

A Routing Algorithm for a Single Transfer Crane to Load Export Containers ont…

It is discussed how to route transfer crane during loading operation of export containers in port container terminal. We determine the number of containers which transfer crane picks up at each yard-bay as well as the sequence of yard-bays which transfer crane visits during the tour. The objective is to minimize the total container handling time of the transfor crane including the set-up time a…

A disaggregate analysis of port selection

With this article we use an alternative form of the discrete choice model to analyze the distribution of maritime shipments among US ports. We model the distribution as a function of the characteristics that describe each shipment and each port. We assume that vessel schedules are fixed in the short-term and examine the assignment to ports for exports of various commodity-types as a function of…

A stochastic seaport network retrofit management problem considering shipping…

Seaports are exposed to various uncertain disasters caused by natural or human factors, which have multi-dimensional impacts on the economy. Retrofit appears as one of the effective mitigation methods to protect the seaport network and to reduce the post-disaster loss in the port management engineering. The post-disaster loss is quantified by replacement or repair cost of the structural damage …

Reverse logistics of recovery and recycling of non-returnable beverage contai…

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the processes of collecting used non-returnable packaging. The objective is to increase the quality and quantity of recycling material used in the production of new packages.

Near-optimal heuristics and managerial insights for the storage constrained, …

The purpose of this paper is to develop efficient heuristics for determining the route design and inventory management of inbound parts which are delivered for manufacturing, assembly, or distribution operations and for which there is limited storage space. The shipment frequencies and quantities are coordinated with the available storage space and the vehicle capacities.

TOPS : advanced decision support system for port and maritime chemical logistics

This paper presents a decision support system named the Tanker Operations Planning System (TOPS). It is a user-friendly software with an advanced routing and scheduling algorithm to automate and aid the operational decision making process. It considers the key operations constraints faced by the tanker owners. The advanced routing and scheduling algorithm embedded in the decision engine uses he…

Port and modal allocation of waterborne containerized imports from Asia to th…

An economic optimization model of waterborne containerized imports from Asia to the USA is described. Imports are allocated to alternative ports and logistics channels so as to minimize total transportation and inventory costs for each importer. Logistics channels include direct shipment of marine containers via truck or rail, and trans-loading in the hinterlands of the ports of entry from mari…

Logistics network optimization considering balanced allocation and vehicle ro…

This article presents an effort to study the complex problem that arises when balanced allocation is integrated with vehicle routing decisions in a logistics network. This integrated problem is frequently encountered in many logistics networks that maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of available warehouses and distribution centers. After modeling the balanced allocation vehicle routing p…

Multi-Product Maritime Inventory Routing With Optional Cargoes : An Applicati…

Purpose – The ocean transportation of automobiles is carried out by specialized Roll-on/Roll-off ships, which are designed to carry a large number of automobiles at a time. Many of these shipping companies have vertically integrated or collaborated with other logistics services providers to offer integrated maritime logistics solution to car manufacturers. The purpose of this study is to d…

Integrated planning in hybrid courier operations

The purpose of this paper is to present the design and evaluation of an integrated system that supports planners and dispatchers to deliver enhanced courier operations. In addition to regular deliveries and pickups, these operations include: first, mass deliveries to be served over a horizon of multiple days; and second, real-time dynamic requests (DRs) to be served within the same service period.
