“…Ref. [58] instead seek to minimise the number of containers that need to be stored in the storage area. They reformulate the problem as an acyclic partitioning problem on a directed graph and devise a MILP with valid inequalities, which are based on the derivation of several solution properties.…”

This paper treats theoretical and practical aspects of train management in freight shunting yards. It is a literature survey extending the previous ones and presenting the new important papers published in the last decade. The operations realised in such yards are formalised by modelling them in unified modelling language diagrams and the algorithms implemented to solve the optimisation problems of operations management for the different types of freight shunting yards and for the existing models are presented. The details on real yards that can be found in the literature are also reported, to allow the reader understanding what case studies can be actually tackled with the existing methods.

“…Albareda-Sambola et al are also interested in the rail-rail container transshipment. They use two new formulations of the acyclic graph partitioning problem to make trains packed in groups that fit in the loading area [28]. In the works of [29], a joint discrete-discrete copula-based model is proposed to synchronously capture the decisive factors of using a container terminal and the dwell time of containers.…”

“…Less research on railway port stations is conducted. Moreover, the review finds that the research on container multimodal transportation mostly focuses on optimization of transportation organization [17][18][19][20][21]32], resource allocation [22,23,33], yard operation optimization [24][25][26][27][28][29]34], transportation path planning [35,36] and network optimization [37][38][39]. Although some scholars pay attention to the rail-rail transshipment process, the close connection between the distribution organization scheme and container transshipment is less considered, which is of great significance to the long-term efficient development of China Railway Express.…”

Recently, in the context of “The Belt and Road” Initiative, the China Railway Express, which has a high volume and spans a long distance has greatly facilitated the construction of international freight transport corridors between developed and developing countries. To ensure sustainable development, this paper introduces an optimization problem of a container distribution organization scheme for the China Railway Express resulting from the major existing problems arising in railway port stations, which is a special and crucial link in transportation organization of the China Railway Express. The problem of a long dwell time of inbound trains is typically concerned with the operation process in railway port stations. Taking various real-world influencing factors of efficiency into account, this paper formulates a distribution organization optimization model to minimize the total container-hours of inbound China Railway Express at Alataw Pass railway station. Subsequently, a solution method based on the main idea of a genetic algorithm is developed to solve the problem, and two examples of different modes of transportation organization are given for validating the effectiveness of the model. Finally, we compare the results between two modes under different orders of magnitude according to the characteristics of sustainability to discuss the possible change and development of the China Railway Express in the future.
