6 chain to the destination becomes more complicated. This leads to an increase in the operating costs of a railroad system compared to railroads that follow the system of train traffic on schedule. To improve the competitiveness of a railroad system within which the traffic of trains fails to follow a timetable, it is important to build the functional for a periodic notification about the state of train dispatch. One of the important notification functions is the calculation of the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of a cargo dispatch [2]. Within the framework of the ETA calculation, which is determined for a cargo dispatch at each railroad station 1. Introduction Given the conditions of automation and digitalization of all industries, increasing the level of predictability of the technological process of a rail system transportation is a necessary requirement to reduce the cost of supply chains [1]. The operating model of railroad systems without following the schedule of freight trains possesses a considerable degree of uncertainty in the cargo transportation process. In such systems, the possibility of predicting the duration of operations involving cargo dispatch along a transportation

“…Multimodal transportation is a key element within the freight transportation industry [14,15]. It has various definitions; for example, the European Conference of Ministers of Transport in 2001 defined multimodal transportation as the movement of goods in one and the same loading unit or vehicle, which uses successively two or more modes of transport without handling the goods themselves in changing modes.…”

Route selection strategy has become the main aspect in the multimodal transportation system. The transport cost and time as well as the inherent risks must be considered when determining a corrective design plan. The selection of a multimodal transportation network route is a complex multi-objective decision problem. Therefore, considering the impact factors such as the transport cost, time, and comprehensive risk assessment model were further created. This paper develops a decision support model using an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and zero-one goal programing (ZOGP) to determine an optimal multimodal transportation route. AHP is employed to determine weights of each factor, which rely on expert judgments. The significant weights of criteria obtained from AHP can be integrated in the objective function of ZOGP which is used to generate the optimal route. The empirical case study of coal manufacturing is conducted to demonstrate the proposed model. This methodology can provide a guidance for effectively determining the multimodal transportation routes to improve performance of logistics systems.

“…A study by Jacobsson et al (2017) showed that deficiencies in the information exchange between involved actors are common and can be a barrier to the implementation of an ICT solution for the multimodal TDG [25]. Marchet et al (2009) analysed ICT adoption in the Italian freight transportation industry, and said that one of the main reasons for the low level of ICT implementation is the fragmentation of the Italian logistics and transportation industry due to the multiple levels of sub-contracting [11].…”

The increased number of transports with dangerous goods (TDG) increases the risk of both accidents and terrorist attacks. Digitalisation is crucial in order to avoid human errors and to increase safety, security and efficiency, however there are few research studies that analyse digitalisation for the TDG, this being the first time, to the author's knowledge, that barriers to the implementation of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions for the transport of dangerous goods has been analysed. A new elicitation methodology called the 'implementation acceleration methodology for ICT (IAM-ICT)' has been created, with the aim of identifying and hierarchizing potential barriers to the implementation and integration of ICT solutions involved in the multimodal TDG, and with a view to overcoming the most relevant problems at an early stage. This methodology combines user-driven innovation (UDI), the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Bayesian networks. The application of this methodology, which is easily replicable in other fields, will enable a better design of ICT solutions so that they can be implemented and integrated in SMEs and large companies. The results show a hierarchy of potential barriers for a multi-modular ICT solution used as use case study, in two different co-designed schemes for a small and medium enterprise (SME) and for a large company.
