Multimodal carriers are third-party logistics providers who utilize multiple modes of transportation to deliver timely door-to-door services to their customers. Notwithstanding frequent service disruptions, customers have ever-increasing expectations for on-time deliveries, posing significant challenges to tactical planning. Inspired by the operations of actual carriers, we study the tactical decision planning of multimodal freight networks, considering operational disruptions, timetabling restrictions, and explicit customer service requirements. Despite our focus on tactical planning, our models integrate long-term commitments by penalizing deviations from strategic goals with last-minute operational planning decisions, which are recourse actions aiming to accommodate service disruptions. After improving the dual bound of our initial formulation, we provide reduced-sized models for the special cases of nonpropagating delays and nonreactive last-minute decisions. This latter formulation is utilized to construct scenario-based and trip-based heuristics, which we combine in a hybrid search loop. Our computational study illustrates that our approach attains high-quality solutions for real-sized instances that are otherwise unsolvable by off-the-shelf optimization software, and a significant improvement over a nontrivial rolling horizon benchmark.

Logistics and transport systems are complex systems for which sustainable innovations are urgently needed. Serious games are an acknowledged tool for training, learning, and decision making, as well as for helping to introduce innovative concepts for complex systems. Technological innovations for the transport domain that can improve sustainability are usually heavily dependent on the collaboration among actors. A simulation gaming approach can help these actors in understanding the challenges involved, and in finding solutions in a playful, interactive way. Our research approach includes a thorough literature review on games for innovation and collaboration in transport networks, and the development of two dedicated simulation games addressing sustainability innovations for the Port of Rotterdam, the largest seaport in Europe and one of the largest in the world. The two innovation cases are truck platooning and multi-sided digital platforms for barge transportation, both improving the sustainability of hinterland transportation. The games serve as instruments to reveal interactions and tensions among actors, contribute to the interpretation of their behavior, and eventually help all parties to reach a better understanding on how innovation adoption can be fostered, using an innovation ecosystem perspective. We are convinced that serious gaming, by providing a better understanding of the innovation process, will help the implementation of sustainability innovations in complex systems.

Efficient multi-modal transportation in the hinterland of seaport terminals dependson consolidation of container volumes in support of frequent services of high capacity means oftransport, such that sustainable multi-modal transport can compete with uni-modal road transportin cost and time. The tactical design of barge scheduled transport services involves fleet selectionand routing through the inland waterway network. The resulting network service design shouldmeet expected demand and service time requirements set by the shippers. We develop a tightMILP formulation for the Fleet Size and Mix Vehicle Routing (FSMVRP) especially adapted for thePort-Hinterland multi-modal barge network design. Also, an analytical model is developed to helpunderstand important design trade-offs made. We consider the case of horizontal cooperation of dryport container terminals that share capacity. Our results show that in case of cooperation, both costsavings and service levels are improved, and allow for sustainable multi-modal transport to becompetitive with uni-modal truck transport.

The continuously increasing container throughput has created complex operational problems for port operations and port-hinterland transportation. Increase in negative externalities such as air pollution and road congestion are examples of challenging issues. Consolidation of cargo/container flows may help to alleviate the situation by better utilizing the means of transport and containers. Using analytical models for three scenarios – only-trucking (no-consolidation), container consolidation and combined container/cargo consolidation – we discuss the conditions under which the consolidation of flows can be beneficial. The results imply that shipment distance and type of cargo are important factors that affect the performance of flow consolidation in port-hinterland logistics.

This paper presents a modified Network DEA model (NDEA) to measure the performance of intermodal freight transport (IFT) chains and to find the sources of inefficiencies. The model addresses two challenges in the application of NDEA to the IFT domain: first, the chains may differ in the number of divisions (i.e., transshipment/transportation activities); and second, one needs to define a relevant intermediate service. For purposes of illustration, the model is applied to a particular European IFT network for which the inefficient transport/transshipment segments are identified and discussed.

The trend toward shorter delivery lead times reduces operational efficiency and increases transportation costs for Internet retailers. However, mobile technology creates new opportunities to organize the last mile. In this paper, we study the concept of crowdsourced delivery that aims to use excess capacity on journeys that already take place. We consider a service platform that automatically creates matches between parcel delivery tasks and ad hoc drivers. The platform also operates a fleet of dedicated vehicles to serve the tasks that cannot be served by the ad hoc drivers. The matching of tasks, drivers, and dedicated vehicles in real time gives rise to a new variant of the dynamic pickup and delivery problem. We propose a rolling horizon framework and develop an exact solution approach to solve the matching problem each time new information becomes available. To investigate the potential benefit of crowdsourced delivery, we conduct a wide range of computational experiments. The experiments provide insights into the viability of crowdsourced delivery under various assumptions about the behavior of the ad hoc drivers. The results suggest that the use of ad hoc drivers has the potential to make the last mile more cost-efficient and can provide system-wide vehicle-mile savings up to 37% compared to a traditional delivery system with dedicated vehicles.The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/trsc.2017.0803.

We use agent-based simulation to compare the performance of four scheduling policies in youth health care. The policies deploy push/pull and centralized/decentralized concepts. The simulation model represents an authentic business case and is parameterized with actual market data. The model incorporates, among other things, non-stationary Poisson arrival processes, reneging and return mechanisms, and care provider’s client preferences. We have identified that performance measurement in youth health care should not be focused on queue lengths alone, which is presently the case, but should include a case difficulty parameter as well. The simulation results, together with contextual data obtained from stakeholder interviews, indicate that a push strategy with a centralized queue suits the sector best, which is different from the current real-world situation. This policy ensures a higher level of fairness in treatment provision because the care providers are compelled to take their share in treating the difficult and economically less attractive cases. The complexity of the case cannot be captured by current queuing theory methods. Our simulation approach incorporates these complexities, which turn out to be relevant for the scheduling policy decision. We validate the model and strategies using real market data and field expert discussions.

In this paper we describe how rolling stock and passenger connections in a cyclic railway timetable can be modeled in a flexible way within the model for the Periodic Event-Scheduling Problem (PESP). Usually, PESP models assume that the constraints for rolling stock or passenger connections specify in detail which trains should connect with each other. However, the flexibility described in this paper allows the model to choose which trains should connect with each other in a rolling stock or passenger connection. We express the connection times in a minimum matching of arriving and departing trains in terms of certain process time variables. We also describe an abstract framework demonstrating that, under certain conditions, the extra flexibility can be modeled purely in terms of PESP constraints. The concept of flexible rolling stock and passenger connections is illustrated by an example based on three intercity lines of Netherlands Railways

Carbon footprinting is a tool for firms to determine the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their supply chain or with a unit of final product or service. Carbon footprinting typically aims to identify where best to invest in emission reduction efforts, and/or to determine the proportion of total emissions that an individual firm is accountable for, whether financially and/or operationally. A major and underrecognized challenge in determining the appropriate allocation stems from the high degree to which GHG emissions are the result of joint efforts by multiple firms. We introduce a simple but general model of joint production of GHG emissions in general supply chains, decomposing the total footprint into processes, each of which can be influenced by any combination of firms. We analyze two main scenarios. In the first scenario, the social planner allocates emissions to individual firms and imposes a cost on them (such as a carbon tax) in proportion to the emissions allocated. In the second scenario, a carbon leader voluntarily agrees to offset all emissions in the entire supply chain and then contracts with individual firms to recoup (part of) the costs of those offsets. In both cases, we find that, to induce the optimal effort levels, the emissions need to be overallocated, even if the carbon tax is the true social cost of carbon. This is in contrast to the usual focus in the life-cycle assessment (LCA) and carbon footprinting literatures on avoiding double counting. Our work aims to lay the foundation for a framework to integrate the economics- and LCA-based perspectives on supply chain carbon footprinting

Different firms in multimodal hinterland networks, such as terminal operators, freight forwarders, information service providers, infrastructure managers, shippers and receivers, aim to contribute to a better performance of the overall supply chain. Terminal operators, for instance, are more and more involved in linking sea terminals with inland terminals, or linking terminals with end points in the chain, such as warehouses. Thus, they assume new responsibilities in addition to being a ‘stocking point’. This article addresses a crucial innovation that is currently developing in the hinterland of the main ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam: Supply chain and transportation network integration by extending the sea terminal gate into the hinterland. The article explores the relationship between the extended gate concept and the better known concept of dry ports. We argue that extended gates, when implemented correctly, can generate substantial benefits in terms of modal shift, logistics performance and regional development. Substantial bottlenecks still exist that hamper the development of extended gates in multimodal transport networks. The article will identify these bottlenecks, and suggest avenues for solutions. The full implementation and adoption of an extended gate network in a port's hinterland will result in a fundamental change in the role of seaports in global supply chains.

This research aims at providing a quantitative benefits assessment of enhancing the visibility in global supply chains. In particular, we describe how we model physical and information processes in a global maritime supply chain, and how delays propagate under different information scenarios. We describe how the model logic is validated in the context of a large scale project in which amongst others, port operators, shippers, customs, and logistics service providers are involved. Preliminary simulation results indicate how different response measures impact the extent and number of delays in the system.
