Abstract
This study proposes a PI-based planning model for synchromodal operation of a transport network considering the parallel operation of intermodal and truck-only routes. The proposed multi-objective model seeks to satisfy the delivery time of goods while minimizing the number of trucks. The results obtained from the implementation and analysis of the model show the interplay between the importance of delivery time versus the environmental impact of transporting goods. However, it is possible to find a spot where these two objectives meet. A major impacting factor is the efficiency of the PI-hub in handling goods. Future work includes enhancing the model for consideration of constraints related to a more detailed load planning to consider the dimensions of modular containers and modeling the internal PI-hub operations and mirroring its impact on network operations.
