Supply chain networks are typical examples of complex systems. Thereby, making decisions
in such systems remains a very hard issue. To assist decision makers in formulating the …

In Europe, there are major obstacles limiting the growth of rail freight. In this paper, we
investigate problems related to the development of small multimodal terminals which are …

This paper presents a multi-objective optimization model to integrate the scheduling of three
types of equipment—railway container operation gantry cranes, yard stacking cranes, and …

In this paper, the spotlight is directed towards studying the handling capacity of pure Ro-Ro
terminals, especially the new terminal of Norvik port. To this end, a simulation model based …

As a type of intermodal terminal, pure Ro–Ro terminals are one of the most important logistic
hubs in the supply chain for rolling freight stored in containerized and wheeled steel boxes …

This study analyzes the influence of nonfulfillment of orders in a company that produces
plastic sheets. The main cause of problems is the long unproductive times during the …

The problems of developing intelligent service provision systems face difficulties in the
representation of dynamic aspects of cargo transportation processes and integration of …

The development of inland terminals helps seaports mitigate inevitable storage capacity
problems, extending their gravitational field and strengthening their competitive advantage …

This study investigates the effects of twin rail-mounted gantry crane (RMG) scheduling
strategies and handshake area designs on container yard efficiency and energy …

Container terminals are complex systems where containerized cargo undergoes a set of
processing and handling operations to be delivered to their outgoing modes. A pool of …
