Title: | Service network design in intermodal barge transport | Authors: | CARIS, An JANSSENS, Gerrit K. Macharis, Cathy |

Inland terminals may cooperate with the objective to create denser freight flows and achieve economies of scale. In this paper cooperation between intermodal barge terminals in a hinterland network is analyzed from a network design perspective. A general overview of service network design in freight transport is given. A generic model is adapted to incorporate the characteristics of intermodal barge networks. The model formulation is further elaborated by means of a small-scale fictitious network. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/9007 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
