Intermodal train loading methods and their effect on intermodal terminal operations
… for North American railroads is the transport of intermodal freight. In comparison to truck transport, railway intermodal transport is more efficient due to the low-friction interface between the steel wheel and steel rail, closely coupled railcars, rolling stock capable of transporting multiple …

Network design models for intermodal logistics
… by the extraordinary increase in the use of intermodal shipments in recent years for both domestic and global movement of freight. Three mathematical models, which explore the dynamics of intermodal hub-and-spoke networks, are presented. These models use transportation costs, fixed location …

Intermodal variability and optimal mode selection
Transportation cost is one of the major costs in supply chain. Companies need to optimize every aspect of the transportation process to reduce the total logistics cost. A key aspect is optimal mode selection to minimize the cost of every lane in a company's transportation network. The traditional …
