Port dynamic empty container reuse

Growth drivers of Finnish-Estonian general cargo transports

“…A new and additional feature in demand forecasts is the use of a simulation taking into account transportation system capacity, costs and infrastructure enlargement plans to forecast e.g. railway or road transportation use at a sea port or the capability of a system itself to deliver (Kia et al 2002;Parola & Sciomachen 2005;Jula et al 2006;Sanders et al 2007;Reis 2014).…”

Optimization of empty container movements in intermodal transport

“…Results show that costs from empty movements drop significantly when allowing street turns and using inland depots. (Jula et al, 2003) More simulations of the dynamic model including street turns and inland depots are performed by Jula et al (2006). Chang et al (2006Chang et al ( , 2008 and Ioannou et al (2006) continue the work of Jula et al (2003Jula et al ( , 2006.…”

The authors propose mathematical models for the static deterministic two-commodity and multicommodity allocation problem with container substitution.…”

Empty marine container logistics: facts, issues and management strategies

“…11 Typical issues to be tackled through optimization approaches. Note: S reads for strategic problem and T and O for tactical and operational problems, respectively 2002, Olivo et al 2005;Song and Earl 2008), the effect of the planning horizon length on empty container distribution management (Jansen et al 2004;Cheung and Chen 1998), the dynamic equipment allocation and reuse problem (Jula et al 2006;Janakiraman et al 2007), and the empty balancing strategies within the context of a network design problem (Gendron and Crainic 1997;Bourbeau et al 2000;Imai and Rivera 2001;Li et al 2004;Ting and Tzeng 2004;Song et al 2005;Ang et al 2007;Shintani et al 2007;Boile et al 2008)., while Lai et al (1995) present models analyzing stakeholder operational activities.…”
