Intermodal Transfer Coordination in Logistic Networks

A model will be developed for integrating and optimizing logistic networks relying on intermodal transfers. It will combine (1) a pre-planning component for optimizing system characteristics such as terminal and vehicle characteristics, routes and schedules, and (2) real-time control algorithms for dealing with service disruptions.
