Network design models for intermodal logistics
… explore the dynamics of intermodal hub-and-spoke networks, are presented. These models use transportation costs, fixed location costs, modal connectivity costs, modal transit times and service time requirements, for three modes of transportation: road, rail and air. The objective is to compare the …

Digital supply chain twin: framework for planning and control of logistics systems
… more transparency and holistic optimisation of logistics systems. This dissertation deals with the Digital Supply Chain Twin (DSCT) which is a dynamic simulation model of a real logistics system. Therefore, the potentials for predictive planning and control of logistics systems are explored. The …

Effects of road-network circuity on strategic decisions in urban logistics
… relevant implications in the configuration of logistics networks within urban markets. The framework presented in this thesis entails three inter-dependent levels of analysis: individual trip, consolidated route and last-mile network levels. In Chapter 2, we introduce a method to quantify and …

RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF MARINE PILOTS USING ADVANCED DECISION MAKING METHODS
Seaports play a significant role in global logistics networks, contributing to the efficiency of both national and international economic growth. Dramatic changes in the supply chain encourage ports to maintain effective integration when delivering services. Ports are thus parts of complex systems …
