Title: Synchromodal Versus Intermodal Freight Transport: The Case of Rotterdam Hinterland Container Transport
Accession Number: 01590739
Record Type: Component
Abstract: The synchromodal freight transport services is emerging and developing fast as a new concept of freight transport operations. Various benefits of synchromodal freight transport have been hypothesized in the Dutch logistics sector. This paper develops a model that enables comparative analysis of intermodal and synchromodal operations. The model captures relevant (day-to-day and within-day) dynamics in freight transport demand and supply, flexible multimodal routing with transfers and transhipments. The schedule-based assignment algorithm operating specifically at path level allows strategic modelling and evaluation accounting for the freight transport system at operational level. The newly developed model is used to study the Rotterdam hinterland container transport, to evaluate the performance of intermodal and synchromodal operations from economic, societal, and environmental perspectives.
