Abstract:
The paper studies the coopetition of the downstream different carriers by providing complementary transport services in intermodal freight transport chain. Considering different information structure, a two-stage dynamic game model with simultaneous actions on investment and price is first formulated. Equilibria show both parties have motivation to select coopetition even if the agreement for cooperation investment is reached in advance. When both firms agree on the specific allocation, the new coopetition with higher efficiency would be emerged. Moreover, we analyze the complexity and evolution of coopetition by repeated pricing game with finitely and infinitely time horizon. In the finitely repeated pricing game, both firms have incentive to reach a tacit understanding to alternate choosing price cooperation and competition after setting suitable allocation scheme; the repeated periodstare then going to be an issue. In the infinitely repeated pricing game, the perfect cooperation is realized by designing the suitable trigger strategy.

Abstract:
Intermodal terminals and warehouses operate in different countries and deliver specific services to their customers. For many clients, it is important to receive a full set of the logistics services delivered by a single operator. However, individual intermodal terminals and warehouses may face challenges with providing these services, e.g., just-in-time goods delivery, goods distribution, cargo handling in non-standard situations, and others. In such cases, the cooperation between logistics companies may be required to organize the comprehensive service of cargo within supply chains. One of the possible solutions is to integrate transport and logistics services providers, establishing their cooperation within one virtual logistics center. The aim of this article is to justify theoretically the possibility of creating such a center by combining services performed by the intermodal terminals and warehouses already in operation under a single entity, in order to minimize the cost of logistics services and the time of goods delivery, as well as to create a comprehensive range of logistics services needed by customers. The relevance of the article and the novelty of the idea are associated with justification of the possibility of combining the activities of intermodal terminals and warehouses located separately in the region in order to improve the logistical service of customers. The theoretical basis for creating a virtual logistics center is based on graph theory methods. The article presents a theoretical model, based on a system of edges and vertices of the graph tree, which corresponds to the activities performed by separately located intermodal terminals and individual warehouses. The discussion is focused on the current problems of creating virtual logistics centers. The research results may be interesting for the managers of intermodal terminals, warehouses, and logistics centers, as well as other decision-makers involved in supply chains implementation and development.

Abstract:
Present performance of railway transport sector is determined by two groups of factors. The first one relates to the changes of external economic environment of railway performance, while the second one deals with the internal changes in the railway transport sector. These factors determine priority directions of railway transport sector development. A good example of such development is implementation of intermodal services, which in turn foresee concept of integration of various logistics service providers. In this paper assumption is made, that implementation of intermodal services as well as integration of various logistics services providers can not be reached without proper nodes on the multimodal transport networks. Therefore definition, urge and some key functions of intermodal terminal are discussed. Later theoretical model of such terminal performance is presented. The paper ends with conclusions about the meaning of intermodal terminal to the increase of quality level of railway transport sector performance.

Abstract:
Compared with traditional freight transportation, intermodal freight transportation is more competitive which can combine the advantages of different transportation modes. As a consequence, operational research on intermodal freight transportation has received more attention and developed rapidly, but it is still a young research field. In this paper, a stochastic intermodal service network design problem is introduced in a sea-rail transportation system, which considers stochastic travel time, stochastic transfer time, and stochastic container demand. Given candidate train and ship services, we develop a two-stage chance constrained programming model for this problem with the objective of minimising the expected total cost. The first stage allows for the selection of operated services, while the second stage focuses on the determination of intermodal container routes where capacity and on-time delivery chance constraints are presented. A hybrid heuristic algorithm, incorporating sample average approximation and ant colony optimisation, is employed to solve this model. The proposed model is applied to a realistic intermodal sea-rail network, which demonstrates the performance of the model and algorithm as well as the influence of stochasticity on transportation plans. Hence, the proposed methodology can improve effectively the performance of intermodal service network design scheme under stochastic conditions and provide managerial insights for decision-makers.

Abstract:
Roll on–roll off (RoRo) shipping represents a maritime segment that could easily form part of an intermodal transport system, as cargo does not need to be lifted in ports; it is ‘rolled’ to and from sea. This paper investigates the operation of RoRo shipping services in Northern Europe, focusing on a set of services chartered by a major shipper whose demand has a great impact on the service design, potentially affecting the frequency of departures and even stipulating the use of specific vessels. The case of cooperation between Stora Enso, a major forest company in Sweden and Finland, and the shipping company Swedish Orient Line (SOL) is analysed, giving some insight into the way these RoRo services operate and manage to integrate successfully into sustainable intermodal transport chains. Despite various initiatives taken by different stakeholders, the level of integration of shipping in intermodal transport chains has been quite slow. This paper’s results could contribute to the identification of barriers that prevent RoRo shipping from being a viable alternative to road transport for certain transport routes and assist in the discovery of policies and incentives that could lead to developing sustainable intermodal transport chains.

Abstract:
At present, intermodal logistics centers play an important role in the world in context of transport and logistics services. The purpose of this paper is to propose the methodology for selecting the appropriate storage area design for intermodal transport units (ITU ́s) in intermodal logistics center. In this matter, four different scenarios of storage area design were taken into. Storage area configuration can significantly influence the logistics and transport services productivity and can have a significant impact on the economics effectiveness of the enterprise. In the paper, the AHP method is used in the context of selecting the appropriate design. This method is able to assess each design in regard to each of the determined criterion and finally prioritize all the designs.

Abstract:
A methodological framework with models is provided, which correlates behavioral and perceptual issues related to the use of intermodal transportation with the commonly used physical and economic criteria in modal choice approaches. With factor analysis, key variables and common decision patterns related to the choice of intermodal transportation are identified. Factor analysis is applied to capture the actors’ perception of the importance of variables affecting the decision-making process. With multiple regression analysis, models simulating the decision-making process are developed for actor groups, utilizing actual quantitative data of cost and performance of intermodal transportation services. Three decision patterns and the respective actor groups’ profiles are identified. The first group consists of actors who decide almost exclusively according to the cost criterion; these actors are intensive users of intermodal transportation. The second group has actors who decide according to both quality and cost criteria; using intermodal transportation by this actor group constitutes a minor portion of its total transport volumes. The third group consists of actors who are influenced in their decisions by specific logistics needs, beyond the physical transportation activity itself. The offer of third-party end-haul operations or refrigerated storage areas is an example of such services, necessitating specific logistic support. For each actor group a model is developed, which associates values of the quantitative variables affecting the decision-making process with the share of intermodal transportation in the total volume of transport handled by the group. The application of the model defines the extent to which changes in the values of relevant variables may shift a decision toward the use of intermodal transportation.

Abstract:
One of the most important questions about public transport services development is the attractiveness of public transport for population. Transport transit hubs are the key elements in a transport system structure of a city, providing the interaction of all modes of transport and the urban environment. Every transport transit hub provides the interaction of different in nature, direction, goals and objectives of the movement passenger flows. Comfort, safety and easy movement of passengers are formed by a layout of the communication ele-ments of a hub. The main part of the territory of the Russian Federation is located in the Northern climatic zone, which makes closed and protected communication elements the most convenient and attractive for pas-sengers. The article deals with the rational use of travolators as a communication elements in transport hubs. There is the result of analysis of the existing simulation models of pedestrian traffic. According to the set of properties, the model of attracting forces was determined as the basis for the formation of the computational model. The calculations carried out on the theoretical model that was developed during the project experi-ment. The experiment consisted in observations of the main characteristics of the flow of passengers in the Moscow metro in the morning "peak" hours. The experiment was conducted using a video surveillance system of the Moscow metro. Good convergence of theoretical calculations with practical observations was ob-tained. In the future, it is plan to create the matrix planning solutions communications elements with all types of accommodation moving walkways. The calculations allowed determining the main characteristics of pas-senger traffic in which it is advisable to use travolators, as well as directions for further research on this top-ic.

Abstract:
Abstract Digitalization is changing the mobility sector. Companies have developed entirely new mobility services, and mobility services with pre-digital roots, such as ride-sharing and public transport, have leveraged digitalization to become more convenient to use. Nevertheless, private car use remains the dominant mode of transport in most developed countries, leading to problems such as delays due to traffic congestion, insufficient parking spaces, as well as noise and air pollution. Emerging intermodal mobility ecosystems take advantage of digital advances in mobility services by providing individual, dynamic and context-aware combinations of different mobility services to simplify door-to-door mobility and contribute to the reduction of private car use. However, the service platforms are limited in terms of functional range, for example they may lack integrated ticketing and rely on static data, which makes intermodal mobility inconvenient. This article adopts the service-dominant logic perspective to analyze service ecosystems for intermodal mobility and their service provision. Drawing on traditional institutional literature, the authors question the assumption that service logic is dominant for all actors of a service ecosystem. By applying activity theory, the article illustrates how an institutional logic multiplicity among actors can negatively affect the functional range of service platforms. The results of a qualitative study in Germany show that, in particular, the state logic of some actors, which is characterized by the obligation to provide mobility, impairs the quality of service platforms in supporting citizens in intermodal mobility.

Abstract:
An intermodal transportation service consisting of high-speed rail (HSR) and an interregional bus service is one policy option for rural areas where interregional travel demand is too low to justify the construction of HSR. This study reviews current interregional bus services connecting with interregional rail, particularly HSR, in Japan, and analyzes the market potential for improving intermodal transportation by integrating HSR with an interregional bus service. It reviews the current interregional transportation network and related travel demand, including for air, rail, and bus. It also analyzes the connectivity of rail+bus intermodal transportation. The analysis showed poor connectivity of HSR and interregional bus services in Japan. Next, an interregional travel mode choice model is estimated with a nested-logit model using data from the Interregional Travel Survey 2010. Then, origin–destination pairs constituting the potential travel demand of the rail+bus option are identified using simple market analysis. This revealed that origin–destination pairs connecting prefectural cities along the Tohoku Shinkansen (HSR) with Kofu City could gain modal shift from other travel modes to rail+bus through improvement in the connection or introduction of a new interregional bus service connected with HSR. Expected changes in modal shares for rail+bus are estimated through a case study where a connection at the HSR station is hypothetically improved by a newly introduced interregional bus service. This suggests that improvements in connectivity at the HSR station could encourage the intermodal transportation service of rail+bus, even for areas not connected with the HSR network.

Abstract:
Transshipment is the process of off-loading an intermodal loading unit (for example, different types of containers, semitrailers, swap-bodies, and so on) from one means of transport (for example, a vessel, a freight railcar, etc.) and loading it onto another. Such a process, as well as other logistics services related to loading units, may take place at a transshipment terminal, which is the intermediate node added to an intermodal transport network when combining two or more liner services that facilitate freight transport. Growing customer requirements affect transshipment terminal operations and contribute to the development of comprehensive logistics services. Terminal clients expect the delivery of complex services that often pose serious challenges to terminals providing these services. The specific decision-making tools are essential for facilitating the shaping of terminals’ complex service offerings. In this study, we investigated the issues connected to the complexity of logistics services offered by transshipment terminals. The aim was to develop a decision-making approach to assess the complexity of logistics services offered by these terminals. A procedure for the formulation of complex and comprehensive service sets at transshipment terminals, which includes sustainable energy and energy efficiency issues, was proposed. The approach for assessing the complexity of services at terminals handling intermodal loading units was developed, and an appropriate mathematical model was applied. Consequently, indexes of the efficiency and comprehensiveness levels of ordered services in a terminal were proposed. The ranking of decision-making criteria influencing the shaping of complex service offerings was created based on the results of a questionnaire survey distributed among the managerial representatives of terminals located in Poland. The data obtained with the use of a questionnaire survey allowed us to verify the proposed approach. The research results may be useful for the management of transshipment terminals while making decisions on the creation of comprehensive services offered to their clientele.

Abstract:
In order to improve the quality of transport services, cooperation between road and long-distance transport, improve efficiency and timeliness, the freight transportation market needs a service-oriented model that solves transport problems based on customer requirements. Therefore, the study of the optimization of container transportation routes by public rail and a combination of modes of transport is important for improving the efficiency of transport services. When planning the transport needs of various shippers, it is necessary to develop reasonable transport solutions, usually controlling both total transport costs and total transportation time, planning optimal routes and choosing a combination of modes of transport. In this paper, the problem of optimizing the distribution of public railway transport on the basis of a non-stop mode is considered. The purpose of the developed mathematical model was to reduce the total cost of transportation and total time, as well as to limit the time window of railway service at transit hubs. A genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of optimizing the implementation of intermodal freight transportation. Based on the characteristics of the model of this work, a matrix approach to coding is used for the task of optimizing the intermodal path, which reduces complexity and also preserves the genetic integrity of descendants.

Abstract:
This research outlined and demonstrated an approach and methodology for assessing domestic truck traffic suitable for diversion to intermodal truck to rail shipping. The research was spurred by the following factors: transportation-related findings from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation's Wisconsin Economic Future Study: Statewide and Regional Analysis; a general interest in intermodal diversion from federal, state, and local transportation agencies (to alleviate roadway congestion, reduce road deterioration, and reduce transportation emissions and pollutants); and seemingly constant commentary from the state's private-sector freight stakeholders seeking increased inter-modal services. Estimates of diverted loads from trucking to truck-to-rail intermodal vary, depending on the associated cost savings, the commodity being shipped, and the distance between origin and destination. Model results suggest that nonmonetary incentives would be necessary for large volumes of freight to divert.

Abstract:
This article presents a strategic view of industry’s expectations from the lean supply chains concept in relation to the container shipping industry. The global market is putting the shipping industry under strong pressure as new trends in logistics seek new opportunities to cut unnecessary costs and players in the supply chain management and in the intermodal transport. For this reason we performed a research on how the intermodal transport can secure efficient transport operations. The emphasis is mainly on setting up the agile port and intermodal transport model, in which all necessary subjects should be involved in a unique supply chain. Thus we analyzed port operators, shipping lines and inland transport operators and the way they eliminate waste processes in their everyday operation procedure. Considering all important dynamic facts in the container and shipping industry and our analyses of the intermodal service through the port of Koper we propose the agile port and inland operations model suitable to improve intermodal service and to secure lean supply chains for containerized cargo. Consequently, we came to the conclusion that some traditional subjects in the traditional supply chain are not needed; while others, like customs authorities and inspection companies should be involved adequately to secure efficient organization of agile services in the ports, on the borders between different countries and at final destinations.

Abstract:
Intermodal transportation is becoming more and more willingly used in the goods supply chain in view of its specific, flexible characteristics. In Poland, intermodal transportation is based primarily on land-sea and rail-road transportation, using mostly containers. The most frequently used containers in 2017 were the 40-feet containers which accounted for over 57% of all containers transported. Contribution of the railway transportation in intermodal transportation is increasing every year. Despite the slow growth, both, planned as well as already carried out investments in intermodal terminals, indicate continuous growing pattern. Many operators strive to improve the technical condition of nodal and linear infrastructure that leads to raising the quality of services provided. Large number of investments aimed at improving the functioning of intermodal transportation in Poland are made by PKP PLK S.A which is the conductor rail operator. The most important of them include improvement of the railway lines technical condition of the major routes, that would increase the average operational speed. The largest intermodal terminal in Poland is the DCT Gdańsk located in the Northern Port in Gdańsk. The annual transshipment ability of the terminal after the investments made is set at 3 million TEU. The terminal is connected with the hinterland by road and rail connections. Due to high quality technical equipment it is able to serve up to 9 trains a day which adds up to almost 300 trains per month. It provides railway connection to almost all overland intermodal terminals in the country. DCT Gdańsk gladly invests in development of the railway transportation and endeavour to achieve rail system development not only at the terminal, but also throughout Poland.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper deals with the multi-criteria evaluation of the intermodal (rail/road) freight corridors as competing transport alternatives. For such a purpose, the methodology has been developed consisting of two main components; i) the analytical models for estimating the indicators and measures of the corridors’ physical/spatial or infrastructural, technical/technological, operational, economic, social, and environmental performance; and ii) the MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision Making) method using the above-mentioned indicators and measures of performance as the evaluation attributes/criteria in ranking and identifying the preferred among the several mutually competing freight transport alternative corridors.The proposed methodology has been applied to two Trans-European intermodal rail/road freight transport corridors. As such, it has shown to be of use, in addition to the researchers, also to the other potential DMs (Decision Maker(s)). These could be, for example, the freight shippers/receivers as the users of the already existing intermodal (rail/road) transport services, the transport and intermodal terminal operators and infrastructure providers, and the business and policy makers facing with the problems of allocating the usually limited investments in the social-economic feasible way to the corresponding infrastructure at the local, regional, national, and international scale.

Abstract:
A model was developed for network design of a shipping service for large-scale intermodal liners that captured essential practical issues, including consistency with current services, slot purchasing, inland and maritime transportation, multiple-type containers, and origin-to-destination transit time. The model used a liner shipping hub-and-spoke network to facilitate laden container routing from one port to another. Laden container routing in the inland transportation network was combined with the maritime network by defining a set of candidate export and import ports. Empty container flow is described on the basis of path flow and leg flow in the inland and maritime networks, respectively. The problem of network design for shipping service of an intermodal liner was formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming model. The proposed model was used to design the shipping services for a global liner shipping company.

Abstract:
The Myrtle-Wyckoff Intermodal Facility proposal is presented, its planning process is discussed, and recommendations for future partnerships between New York City Transit (NYCT) and the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) are given. The planning of this intermodal project was affected by three factors: the planning is a joint effort of two public organizations, it is being formulated for a transportation system that has few intermodal facilities, and it is being developed during austere capital budget cuts. The partnership developed because the intermodal facility will be partially financed with federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) funds. NYCDOT was awarded the CMAQ funds, and NYCT will own and operate the facility. Second, because NYCT was conceptualized in the 19th century by private companies, the transportation systems are not integrated because of the physical infrastructure and unparallel service plans. In the past decade, NYCT has taken a variety of initiatives to coordinate and integrate the services. Creation of intermodal facilities is one of the goals of the NYCT 1995–1999 Strategic Business Plan. The project is a good capital investment. However, organizational priorities and funding constraints prevented it from being included in the proposed capital program. Capital projects evolve in four phases: concept consideration, adoption of concept, implementation, and operation. The development of the project from the consideration phase to the adoption phase is presented. The conclusion will list recommendations for future planning partnerships between NYCT and NYCDOT.

Abstract:
Ones of the most important drivers of the country-wide logistics service performance are the number, quality and functionality of intermodal terminals. A systemic operational cooperation between node elements in the net of such facilities is crucial for the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the national logistic system. Moreover, looking from the perspective of national economy sustainable development, there is also a need to provide intermodal reloading services all over the county so creation of appropriate facilities in regions where they are missing is especially important. The Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region has favourable conditions for placement of logistic service infrastructure. Enterprise strategies should assume increased freight diversification as according to the EU transport policy 30% of long distance inland surface transport should be done with usage of environmentally friendly modes. Vast majority of freight is transported by roads. Construction of a new railway infrastructure, including intermodal terminals, should create new possibilities in the field of organization of physical distribution flows.

Abstract:
Regional and local governments are collectively responsible for maintaining the economic health of their communities and managing traffic congestion, air quality, land use, and other related growth-management issues. Yet global climate change and air quality problems result from the consumption of energy in the production of goods and services that help sustain the economy. Public policy solutions to such problems are often difficult to design because of the interrelated nature of the environment, economic activities, and the infrastructure that links them together. A conceptual framework for thinking about the market behavior of consumers and producers as cost minimizers and offering a new way to design public policies using economic and energy efficiency goals is presented for the use of public-policy makers. Production theory can be used to explain how land, vehicles, infrastructure, and energy are combined to produce transportation goods and services. Heat and waste by-products from the production process act as the precursors of air pollution and other global climate-change problems. If public policies are designed to minimize such problems, policy analysis methods need to include those factors that help determine the cost and benefits of prospective policy alternatives, as well as information on how the net benefits of such policies are redistributed in society. A list of criteria to use in selecting analysis methods for this purpose is suggested.

Abstract:
The rail–water coordinated operation area in a container terminal is the key place to operate the transshipment of intermodal containers between the rail and the sea—the handling efficiency in which can affect the overall transport turnover efficiency. A complicated operational process for various handling equipment exists in this coordinated operation area and can lead to a large amount of energy consumption and environmental pollution. This study proposes an integrated optimization approach to manage the multiple equipment integrated scheduling and storage space allocation problem in an energy-efficient way. A bi-objective optimization model is proposed to minimize the overall operation time and energy consumption, in which the handling operations of imported and exported intermodal containers are considered simultaneously. A genetic algorithm based heuristic algorithm is developed to solve the problem. Results from computational experiments indicate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm, verifying that a near-optimum solution can be obtained for large-scale problems efficiently, which contributes to the improvement of operation services in rail–water intermodal container terminals.

Abstract:
Ethiopia has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and by 2025 Ethiopia aims to become the manufacturing hub of Africa. To maintain growth, the Ethiopian government heavily supports industrial development in different industry sectors. However, Ethiopia is still a developing, low-income country that has to overcome several barriers in order to attract foreign companies to become a middle-income country. Therefore, efficient intermodal transport is seen as one of the key contributors to facilitating export-led growth. This study seeks to map the current state of intermodal transport in Ethiopia by synthesizing a holistic picture of current challenges and to propose strategies for dealing with them. A moderated nominal group technique (NGT) exercise was applied among 38 experts from local manufacturing industries, domestic and international logistics services, academia, and associations as well as governmental and non-governmental institutions. Through the NGT process, the study condenses 19 challenges for intermodal transport in Ethiopia that are grouped into eight different clusters and assesses the importance of resolving those challenges in order to facilitate logistics performance. Moreover, strategies are proposed to improve the current state of intermodal transport and assessed according to their effectiveness and complexity. Consequently, recommendations and implications for four stakeholder groups are given: (1) governmental institutions; (2) non-governmental institutions; (3) foreign investors/manufacturers and local manufacturers; as well as (4) local and international logistics service providers.

The TSL market is developing in Poland, goods transport is growing rapidly, however, the share of rail transport in it is decreasing every year. Customers of the TSL (Transport and Shipping and Logistics) market expect comprehensive logistics services from one partner. Rail transport to recover the part of the roam should expand the scope of services provided and create conditions for the development of intermodal transport, but also such segments of transport as dispersed transport or hazardous materials. In addition to organizational changes, a dedicated reloading infrastructure is an indispensable element of acquiring customers.

Abstract:
Travel and tourism activities and trip planning decisions involving the interoperability complexities and interdependencies introduced by inter-modal and interurban transportation networks constitute an ample opportunity area for deploying the state-of-the-art mobile Internet technologies. It is becoming increasingly necessary to provide travelers with real-time information to assist them in preplanning or replanning their transport and travel activities or particular trip elements during their trip, while being on the move. Trip planning decisions, either before or during the trip realization constitute a derived demand, pushed by demand for tourism activities. However, they represent the most critical chain of the decision-making process on the grounds that they eventually determine the feasibility and the realization of the whole travel activity. From a different perspective, terminal operators, regional authorities, and other transport and tourism organizations show a vast interest and actively pursue alternative ways of dealing with the requirements of the demand for travel and tourism services. An integrated system providing value added logistical services related to travel and tourism, the World in your H@nds on the Move–WH@M system, has been implemented to support and optimize the trip planning process. A study had three objectives: to discuss the way that intermodality can be supported by such a technological application; to present the architecture, operations, and the solution approach governing the trip planning modules; and to provide a brief demonstration of the relevant trip planning modules of the system.

Abstract:
The article presents the issues of a container train loading at the land intermodal terminal. This issue was considered from the point of view of the distance covered by the loading devices and the duration of loading works, which was influenced by the arrangement of containers on the storage yard and the configuration of pins on the wagons. The conducted research was dictated by the small number of publications on loading an intermodal train, especially from the point of view of pin configuration on wagons. The vast majority of the literature is devoted in this field to marine intermodal terminals, which operating characteristics are different from inland terminals. The importance of this problem resulting from the growing turnover of containers transported by rail transport was also pointed out. The systematic increase of this type of transport and the depletion of the intermodal services' operating capability makes it necessary to improve the train loading process. For the purposes of the research, the issues of containers of various sizes loading onto wagons planning with various pin configurations were presented. A literature review was carried out in the field of train loading methods and strategies. A mathematical model was developed for the decision situation under consideration. The equations defining the most important elements of the considered problem were presented in the general form. This model was implemented in the FlexSim simulation environment. The constructed simulation model was used to develop 12 variants of the approach to an intermodal train loading. The train loading tests were performed both for the random arrangement of containers on the storage yard and for the random arrangement of pins on the wagons. The obtained results made it possible to determine how the knowledge of the arrangement of pins on the wagons influences the planning of train loading and increases the efficiency of loading devices.

Abstract:
The integration of intermodal transportation services has become a strategic necessity in improving the quality of urban transportation services, which is reflected in the extent to which the provision of facilities, infrastructure, and supporting amenities can enhance travel experiences and promote sustainable transportation. Achieving integration should focus on major transportation nodes in an area, such as the Poris Plawad Terminal and Batu Ceper Station in the Poris Plawad area of Tangerang City. The Poris Plawad area is also part of the government's plan to develop it as a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area. This research aims to evaluate the needs and performance of services and determine priorities for improving intermodal transportation services in the Poris Plawad area. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with a total of 202 respondents obtained. Data collection from respondents was carried out through questionnaires distributed to transportation service users at the Poris Plawad Terminal and Batu Ceper Station, as well as residents within an 800-meter radius of both transportation nodes. This study uses an integrated approach combining the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method and the Kano model. The analysis results indicate that there are 5 service provision needs that need to be prioritized for improvement at present. Firstly, the provision of crossing facilities. Secondly, the provision of connected pedestrian paths (sidewalks). Thirdly, uninterrupted sidewalk functionality. Fourthly, the quality of sidewalk pavements. And fifthly, the access to and from the transportation nodes free from traffic conflicts.

Manufactures and all network partners may think that global supply chains are simple and direct. But, in the vast majority of cases, this is not the case. Customer demand is supported by complex and lengthy global supply chain. The intermodal transportations provide the key success of the connections between global factories and along the supply chain parties. While they provide critical services, each level of transportation will present challenge and difficulty to all parties. This study look on how logistics commitment can improves operating efficiencies among local manufacturers and service providers as they are in global supply chain network. And, how each intermodal invested improve capabilities, creating reliable and economical port-to-destination delivery services in ensure good relationship with their partners. The study aims is to identify how the service providers can reshape relationship and revise networks to maintain smooth and efficient global logistics flows. This empirical study will use survey questionnaire to get the answer for each question and utilize Partial Least Square (PLS) to analyse the data. Result shows how logistics commitment effort and strategy as to sustain global supply chain relationship.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to develop a model for estimating the urban logistics improvements potential based on success factors of intermodal urban transport. There were two aspects considered for building the urban logistics time efficiency model: achieving an improved transport capacity without purchasing new vehicles, and transferring responsibility of poor shipment planning to its owners by implementing the intermodal transport success factors. The model is to establish functional relationship among the shipment distribution requests (urbanization) and urban logistics inefficiencies management (market inconsistencies), and their impact on business operations. The applicability of the proposed model was tested on urban population growth data and time inefficiencies in urban distribution. The results provide both theoretical and practical confirmation of time efficiency importance of urban logistics and potential for introduction of new intermodal solutions in urban logistics. Different case scenarios for Sarajevo prove that reducing inefficiencies in urban logistics could reduce the number of delivery vehicles by less than a half. Since the delivery vehicles are sources of pollution, the subsequent conclusion is valid for externalities levels. The model, therefore, complements the existing knowledge and represents a practical tool for urban planners and logistics professionals for creating an efficient, innovative, and integrative approach to the development of urban logistics services.

Moving goods domestically or internationally is done often involving several successive modes of transport, to provide a degree of flexibility in relation to the requirements of users of such services. Transport of goods is an essential component of the production process and involves movement components and products at the factory, and from one unit to another. The transport system is one of the basics of fundamental economic growth. Basically, there is no production activity that is not related material and subject, in one way or another by transport. The fundamental objective of sea transport and trade is to ensure the normal freight nationally and internationally, safely and on time, with economic efficiency and in accordance with the conventions, laws and contractual terms in force. In fact, freight transport is a core set of logistics activities that take place in almost every marketing channel and consists of creating utilities of time and instead.

Abstract:
Intermodal air-rail forms of cooperation have proliferated over the last decades as a response to the need for more efficient and strategic alliance in the transportation industry. Airlines and rail operators have indeed concluded formal agreements allowing them to synchronize services and offer an ever more seamless travel experience. While such agreements certainly generate significant benefits for both consumers and carriers, integration between airlines and rail operators may also raise serious concerns as to the applicable legal framework. In light of this, the present article will emphasize on the main legal implications of air-rail agreements. The analysis will consider three areas of interest, namely, competition law, liability and passenger protection. Whereas in terms of competition law, the same legal categories applicable to airline code-shares and alliances may be easily and conceptually borrowed, peculiar and interesting legal issues seem to arise out of the comparison of different international and European legal regimes with respect to liability and passenger protection.
