Abstract:
PurposeThe aim of this paper is to offer an overview of the current state of research in a specific field of transport, namely synchromodality. This includes a conceptual discussion of this innovative transport concept to differentiate it from previous concepts as well as the identification of the antecedents, mechanisms and effects of synchromodality.Design/methodology/approachThe paper combines systematic and content analysis-based approaches to literature review to analyse and synthesise a final sample of 88 publications related to synchromodality.FindingsSynchromodality is a transport concept in its infancy which suffers from ambiguous definitions and a lack of theoretical grounding. The paper identifies four mechanisms which differentiate synchromodality from other transport concepts: real-time switching, integrated network planning, horizontal collaboration and mode-free booking. Seven technical and six managerial antecedents for these mechanisms of synchromodality are defined.Research limitations/implicationsExisting research on synchromodality is largely focused on technical antecedents (e.g. information and communication technology, sophisticated planning systems). Suggestions for further research include managerial problems such as business models or measures to induce a mental shift and trust.Originality/valueThis paper gives a structured overview of the research field of synchromodality and presents existing research from a content-focused perspective. It also indicates opportunities for future research and contributes to a generally accepted understanding of synchromodality.

Abstract:
Synchromodality is an emerging concept in supply chain management. A synchromodal supply chain can be defined as a multimodal transportation planning system, wherein the different agents work in an integrated and flexible way that enables them to dynamically adapt the transport mode based on real-time information from stakeholders, customers, and the logistic network. The potential of synchromodality for the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry is related to the nature of business. The FMCG market is characterized by relatively low margins and high turnover, which is especially important in export supply chains. However, for a company, it may be challenging to objectively evaluate the costs and benefits, not to mention the design of a synchronized supply chain. In order to facilitate the adoption of the concept and guide the practitioners, our study put forward the following research questions: What should be considered in incorporating synchromodality in the export supply chain for FMCG? How should companies approach tradeoffs among factors affecting the supply chain? To answer these questions, we propose an adaptable framework, which should be considered a primary contribution of our study. The framework incorporates the center of gravity model, mixed integer linear programming, and sensitivity analysis. The framework is validated using a real-world problem from a multinational FMCG company. The problem involves the optimal volume allocation and the selection of the most efficient transportation mode for inland freight. Our study demonstrates that incorporating synchromodality in the export supply chain could reduce the overall cost by 9% and enhance flexibility by allowing multiple modes of transportation.

Abstract:
Synchromodalność (zsynchronizowana intermodalność) jest innowacyjną koncepcją w transporcie multimodalnym, która zakłada, że operator logistyczny po uprzednim ustaleniu ze zleceniodawcą głównych parametrów dostawy, takich jak np. cena, czas, współczynnik emisji CO2, może swobodnie wybrać, z jakich gałęzi i środków transportu skorzystać, oraz elastycznie zmieniać decyzję w zależności od sytuacji zaistniałej w procesie realizacji transportu. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest: 1) spojrzenie na synchromodalność jako na połączoną usługę (service connectivity) oferowaną w ramach innowacyjnego modelu mobilności frachtu, w którym wartości dla klienta i operatora logistycznego są zredefiniowane; 2) opracowanie założeń teoretycznych modelu Synchromodality-as-a-Service; 3) przedstawienie perspektyw rozwoju tej koncepcji w Polsce.

Abstract:
Slow steaming, i.e., the possibility to ship vessels at a significantly slower speed than their nominal one, has been widely studied and implemented to improve the sustainability of long-haul supply chains. However, to create an efficient symbiosis with the paradigm of synchromodality, an evolution of slow steaming called smart steaming is introduced. Smart steaming is about defining a medium speed execution of shipping movements and the real-time adjustment (acceleration and deceleration) of traveling speeds to pursue the entire logistic system’s overall efficiency and sustainability. For instance, congestion in handling facilities (intermodal hubs, ports, and rail stations) is often caused by the common wish to arrive as soon as possible. Therefore, smart steaming would help avoid bottlenecks, allowing better synchronization and decreasing waiting time at ports or handling facilities. This work aims to discuss the strict relationships between smart steaming and synchromodality and show the potential impact of moving from slow steaming to smart steaming in terms of sustainability and efficiency. Moreover, we will propose an analysis considering the pros, cons, opportunities, and risks of managing operations under this new policy.

Abstract:
The East-West Transport Corridor (EWTC) in the Southern part of the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) has been chosen as a practical area for implementation of a novel transportation concept called synchromodality. The main expectations in developing synchromodal transport system are related to the improvement of the transport service level, modal shift and capacities utilization of transport hubs along this corridor. However, in the absence of identification of major factors influencing synchromodal system it is difficult to evaluate a potential benefit of implementation of this new transport concept. Our main goal in this paper was, on the basis of a review and using a specific questionnaire, to determine the main indicators impacting effectiveness of the synchromodal system. Compatibility of experts’ opinions was verified by using Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method. The paper will be useful for transport and logistics companies interested in moving towards synchromodal transport, as well as for future researchers. In the course of the research – using the Average Rank Transformation Into Weight (ARTIW) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods – it was determined that the normalized subjective weights of the five main criteria impacting synchromodality distributed in the following order: service quality, efficiency, infrastructure sufficiency, technical properties of terminals and interaction of technologies. In accordance with the Kendall’s concordance coefficient and consistency ratio values, expert opinions are consistent, which enabled the rankings of expert group averages and the eigenvector to take as a result of the task solution. The outcomes of the research presented in the paper have shown that service quality (transport time, service and waiting time, handling time, working hours, reliability and flexibility) is the most important indicator (criterion) impacting synchromodality. At the same time it is a big challenge for transport researchers because it requires to design and apply a qualitatively new mathematical models facilitating an establishment of an optimal synchromodal network and services along chosen transport corridor.

Abstract:
In this paper we discuss the application of simulation gaming to study the behavior and decision making of stakeholders when confronted with complex transportation problems. The problem we tackle is synchromodal transportation. Synchromodality requires the vertical and horizontal collaboration of stakeholders in all the levels of decision making. To facilitate this, we develop four games designed in a way that meets the needs of decision makers in each level. We present both board and digital games and the results from the first gaming sessions with Dutch supply chain and logistics professionals.

Abstract:
Synchromodality is a freight transport process in which information is exchanged expeditiously in order to maximize the benefits of different modes of transport and transport nodes in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. The aim of the study is to analyze the problems of synchronized intermodal traffic management between the main port and inland transport nodes in European transport corridors and to find reliable solutions to these problems. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to investigate the problem of the distribution of containers transported by rail between two transport terminals in a synchronous transport network. A specific optimization model is presented in this article. This optimization task is formulated as a stochastic integer programming model between the terminals located in Vilnius and Klaipeda Seaport, the essence of which is as follows: (a) to minimize the waiting time for container cargo at the location—terminal No. 1; (b) to minimize the total journey time of the train; (c) to minimize the waiting time for containerized cargo at the point of arrival—terminal No. 2.

Abstract:
Long-haul continental freight flows still heavily rely on unimodal road transport. Intermodal transport, combining road transport with other transport modes, has the potential to have lower operating costs and to be more environmentally sustainable. However, road transport benefits from its better flexibility and adaptability to sudden disruptions and uncertainties. To facilitate a modal shift towards intermodal transport, it is crucial to improve its resilience (i.e., capability to resist and recover from sudden disruptions). Synchromodality is an extension of intermodality in which decisions on modal choice and routing are not predefined long in advance but are taken based on real-time information and may provide a step in that direction. The conducted literature review investigates how uncertainty can be handled in intermodal and synchromodal freight transport networks. The literature is classified based on the planning level, which is either strategic, tactical or operational. The main focus is on the studied types of uncertainty and the proposed solution approaches. This work contributes to the research field by reviewing the literature on intermodal and synchromodal transport with uncertainty, presenting measures to mitigate the effects of uncertainty and proposing future research directions.

Abstract:
In the total volume of cargo turnover of Russian seaports, the share of the Caspian Sea is about 1% and, from the point of view of statistics, it has practically no effect on the overall efficiency of their activities. However, the geopolitical and economic significance of this region can hardly be overestimated. It is a kind of crossroads of the international latitudinal and meridional transport corridors "TRACECA" and "North-South". Today, the potential for cooperation in the Caspian region is not used enough, in particular, the potential for growth in the production of agro-industrial and industrial products, which can be directed to meet the growing needs of the post-Soviet Caspian countries, Iran, India and the Persian Gulf countries, is poorly realized. The prospects of the Caspian region are inextricably linked with the development of transportation, which determines the need to assess the existing promising cargo base. The ultimate goal of such an analysis is to develop programs for the development of existing and creation of new transport routes based on the principles of synchromodality, including the distribution of the cargo base between vehicles and the organization of their movement along the most profitable routes.

Abstract:
Objective: To carry out an economic comparison of alternative options for a piggyback terminal layout solution in a marshalling yard. Methods: Modern logistics, customer focus approach, synchromodality, system analysis, comparison of options, forecasting, project and situational management methods were used. Results: Scenario forecasting allowed us to assess the possible dynamic patterns of traffic volumes for three options. The position of the yard in the hub is characterized. The technical and technology design of a piggyback terminal are briefly discussed. The terminal location options based on the yard infrastructure are indicated. Schematic solutions with different terminal-yard junctions through turnout track N 22 (option 1) and N 16 of the Transfer Park (option 2) are proposed. We have analyzed benefits and drawbacks, calculated the cost of the marshalling yard development for each developed option at 2014 values. In particular, the itemized capital investments and operating costs of the marshalling yard stepwise development are calculated and presented in a tabular form. Practical importance: The comparative analysis results for a set of technical and economic indicators are presented. Using the method of comparing options for different indicators, option 1 was selected as the most rational in terms of the minimum cumulative costs

Abstract:
Synchromodality is the key to finding sustainable solutions for logistics, especially across larger networks. The era of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought special attention to the disruptions in demand and supply across the world and has accentuated the need for sustainable transportation networks to handle such anomalies in supply chains. The proposed research develops a mathematical model for an intermodal transportation network and investigates the model on one of the largest and most widely discussed supply chain projects of the One-Belt-One-Road (OBOR) initiative. The proposed bi-objective model focuses on time and cost functions with rail, roads, and ships as modes of transportation. A detailed analysis was performed on various mode alternatives and links to evaluate their performance. The study provides an insightful understanding of the network with several suggestions. In contrast to roads and trains, container ships depict a fourfold increase in fuel consumption for an average ship weighing 4500 TEUs with the increase in shipping speed. It was concluded that increasing port capacity and reducing custom clearance time can have a major impact on lead times, and this is directly influenced by a country’s ease of doing business. Moreover, with its several branches, the OBOR initiative can provide a robust supply chain with increased logistical capacity.
