 Abstract

Accessibility of main sea ports by road has become increasingly difficult due to rapid growth in container throughput. To deal with this challenge, new ways for handling containers and distribution of cargo flows are needed to define and implement. One possibility is going beyond container transportation and considering cargos inside the containers in the design and operation of transportation networks. Consequently, by consolidation of cargo flows, the utilization of container capacity can be improved and the number of transportation fleet will be reduced. This idea is further discussed in this paper and a mathematical model for the operation of such a consolidation center is presented.
