  1. 1. Intermodal Road-Rail Transportation for Express Transport Services

    Författare :Sofia Ohnell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport services; Intermodal transportation; transport systems; modelling; express transportation;

    Sammanfattning : Express transport services are produced in highly modularised transport systems, a fact that implies that one subsystem can be exchanged for another without causing a need for major changes in other parts of the system. Express goods are not common on a large scale in freight railway transport systems, as those are often not considered reliable enough for time-critical goods. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Green Logistics through Modal Shift - exploring the role of the transport capacity contract

    Författare :Fredrik Eng Larsson; Teknisk logistik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; green logistics; modal shift; mode choice; capacity management; supply chain contracting; intermodal transport;

    Sammanfattning : Among policy-makers in Europe the modal shift - a shift från polluting modes of freight transport to less polluting modes - has been a popular suggestion for reducing CO2-emissions of transportation. In particular, intermodal road-rail solutions, where a combination of road and rail transport is utilized to move trailers and containers, have been stressed as an important measure to reach de desired reduction in emissions.

  4. 3. Evaluation and Modelling of Short Haul Intermodal Transport Systems

    Författare :Behzad Kordnejad; Sebastian Stichel; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Sebastiaan Meijer; Johan Woxenius; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Sammanfattning : Conventional intermodal rail freight transport systems have proved themselves competitive and able to offer cost-leadership on long distances and in endpoint relations between two nodes. Several studies within intermodal transports have made contributions in finding the minimum distance, the “break-even” distance that an intermodal door-to-door shipment can compete with unimodal road.

  5. 4. DRY PORTS – RESEARCH OUTCOMES AND APPLICATIONS

    Författare :Alena Khaslavskaya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria Analysis; supply chain outcomes; services; stakeholders; Dry port concept; seaport’s hinterland transport system; intermodal transport; potential and actual benefits;

    Sammanfattning : Functional seaport’s hinterland transport system may benefit multiple stakeholders, i.e., seaports, transport operators, shippers, regions; however, expectations and benefits vary. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Development of Small-Scale Intermodal Freight Transportation in a Systems Context

    Författare :Johan Woxenius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport chain; conceptual modelling; barrier; transshipment technology; transportation system; intermodal freight transportation; gateway terminal; combined transport; yransport network; technology implementation;

    Sammanfattning : An intermodal freight transportation system is characterised by the subsequent use of different transportation modes for moving goods stowed into unit loads from the consignor to the consignee. Typically, it involves a wide variety of activities, actors and resources, which implies a certain degree of technological as well as organisational complexity. LÄS MER
