A Decision Support System for Synchromodal transport

Abstract

The development of intermodal decision support models, where more actors and modes are incorporated, is hampered by limited data availability and its static nature. The latest synchromodality concept presents an extension of intermodal transport by including real-time re-routing of loading units over the network to cope with disturbances and operational or customer requirements. This project aims at developing an integrated tool for synchromodal transport which will be utilized in terms of an innovative dynamic assignment model.
