Abstract
Intermodal freight transport has been proposed as a potential solution for
achieving efficient and sustainable transport systems in the hinterland of the
Port of Rotterdam. The routing problem arising in container distribution and
collection processes is an important issue and similarly the flow assignment
problem arises at a more aggregate level. In this paper, we first briefly
review the existing literature on routing for intermodal freight transport.
Next, an extended intermodal transport network model is formulated for the
time-varying and load-dependent travel time on roads. The optimal intermodal
freight flow assignment problem becomes a nonlinear and non-convex optimization
problem. A sequential linear programming (SLP) approach is proposed for
determining the freight flow assignment. Simulation results show the
effectiveness of the proposed SLP approach.
