AN EVENT-BASED APPROACH TO MODELLING INTERMODAL FREIGHT SYSTEMS. IN: TRANSPORT LOGISTICS

This paper discusses intermodal system modeling from the perspective of intermodalism as an integrated transport service. The current intermodal modeling paradigms and implementations are reviewed and an innovative approach that encompasses the key technological and service related aspects of an intermodal system is proposed. Also addressed are some of the technical issues involved in embedding the proposed framework in a traditional network model. The paper has demonstrated that the event-based framework can be embedded into a traditional network model that can provide a valuable tool for modeling and evaluating the performance of intermodal systems.
