Inland waterway terminal yard configuration contributing to sustainability: Modeling yard operations

In order to encourage a substantial shift from highly polluting freight transport by road to more sustainable Inland WaterWay (IWW) transport, one of the possible options is to optimize handling activities at Inland Waterway Terminals (IWTs). Therefore, this research focused on efficiencies of IWTs and possible improvements by analyzing the...

The operations of zero-emission bus transport: How different charging methods and mechanisms at bus stations affect the level of service of public bus transport

A general bus station operations model is developed in order to quantify effects concerning operations, level of service and costs, of different charging methods for electric buses.
