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....

The recent development of Intelligent Transportation Systems offers the possibility of cooperative planning of multi-actor systems in a distributed framework, by enabling prompt exchange of information among actors. This paper proposes a modeling framework for cooperation in intermodal freight transport chains as multi-actor systems. In this...

Managing distributed supply-chains takes a lot of effort for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling. The current study proposes and examines an approach for optimizing the transport problem inside such chains, using a decentralized approach. In this approach, models are developed for optimization of the internal operations of...

Carsharing services allow users to benefit from the advantages of a private car without the costs of owning one. One-way systems provide users with a higher level of service than traditional carsharing systems in terms of flexibility because users do not need to return to the station of origin. Moreover, the added option to leave the vehicle at...

Nowadays, there is a growing agreement that sustainable mobility is about effectively interconnecting transport systems which have to provide a door-to-door service. Intermodal transportation of freights is an important issue in this context, due to the increasing amount of freight movements all over the world. The current study proposes and...
