Road transportation represents the most used transportation mode to cover short distances. However, structural lack of planning and optimization in road transportation creates negative effects both for companies and for the social community, such as environmental pollution, economic loss and road congestion. These effects are mainly due to the...

For the undisputed degree of complexity that characterizes the port system, it certainly belongs to the category of systems of systems. In fact, the functioning of a port is made possible due to the interaction of a certain number of subsystems, which in turn depend on other subsystems. The goal of this paper is to model and simulate, by...

The increase of rail freight transportation is highly desirable, both for its capacity of moving bigger quantities of cargo with respect to road transport and for its reduced environmental impact. Among the different decisional aspects related to rail transportation planning, in this paper the problem of optimizing train loading operations in...

Nowadays the majority of goods passing through seaports are transported by road, resulting in a large number of empty movements and high total costs. This paper proposes an optimization model for the cooperative planning of multiple truck carrier operations in a seaport environment for maximizing the total profit derived from their cooperation....

A container terminal is devoted to transfer containers from sea to land and vice versa in the most efficient way. The main objective of a container terminal is to optimize, in terms of times and costs, the activities related to container handling and forwarding. As regards the hinterland side, a crucial activity is represented by train...

This paper proposes an optimization approach for sizing port rail networks and planning railway shunting operations by adopting a discrete-time model of the overall system. First, a mixed-integer linear mathematical programming problem is defined in order to optimize shunting operations to be performed on the considered network by satisfying...

The drastic changes in market features imposed in the last decades by market globalization and production delocalization, have determined the need for ports to quickly react to market change in order to capture and manage the increasing quantity of global freight. But because of the highly dynamic and stochastic context, ports have to adjust in...

This paper presents the analysis, development and testing of a Decision Support System (DSS) allowing planning, management and optimization of waste collection operations in an urban context. A proprietary simulator developed in Java™ and composed by four functionality modules (Global Positioning System, Data Mining system, Waste collection...
