This study focuses on the efforts of rail freight industry in Europe to adapt to the change of freight market. Nearly $80\%$ of freight is transported in short and medium distance market and due to e-commerce the freight becomes small and requires more frequencies than before. Rail freight industry tries to change their operation practices and to create measures to catch the market share. Trials in the two market segments, sea port to/from inland rail terminal and airport to/from inland rail terminal, are reviewed in this study.

In these days, rail container service is being more important because it has relatively simple network. In addition, small lot sizes of shipment, frequent shipment, and demand for flexible service are important characteristics in rail container transportation. Efficient container operation at terminals is important in reducing transportation costs and load/unload time. This paper describes the assigning track of freight trains in the railway freight terminal. The paper addresses the operational requirements and facility restrictions to construct a mathematical model for track assignment. In addition, it suggests several types of objectives for the model.

This paper considers the rail crane scheduling problem which is defined as determining the sequence of loading/unloading container on/from a freight train. The objective is to minimize the weighted sum of the range of order completion time and makespan. The range of order completion time implies the difference between the maximum of completion time and minimum of start time of each customer order consisting of jobs. Makespan refers to the time when all the jobs are completed. In a rail freight terminal, logistics firms as a customer wish to reduce the range of their order completion time. To develop a methodology for the crane scheduling, we formulate the problem as a mixed integer program and develop three metaheuristics, namely, genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, and tabu search. To validate the effectiveness of heuristic algorithms, computational experiments are done based on a set of real life data. Results of the experiments show that heuristic algorithms give good solutions for small-size and large-size problems in terms of solution quality and computation time.

Purpose - The Korean government has devised intermodal transportation policies and granted subsidies to shippers and logistics companies that made a conversion of transportation means through the policies. This provides support by expanding the complex uniform railroad transportation and overhauling the deteriorated railroad facilities. As for 2013, however, the freight transportation percentage of railroad was 4.5% in tons and 8.5% in ton kilometers. Meanwhile, since the 1990s, developed countries such as the U.S. and Europe have been trying to expand intermodal freight transport with a legal and institutional support to build a logistics system corresponding with social and economic environmental changes. In this study, I set out to examine the effects of the intermodal freight transport policies in the EU and the U.S., and to explore the direction of setting up a rail intermodal transport system in South Korea. Research design, data, and methodology - The paper used a qualitative research methodology through the literature review. First, was an overview of Intermodal transportation in the EU, U.S. and UN. Second, it describes the development of transport in Europe and the U.S. with particular emphasis on intermodal freight transport. Third, it explores the direction of setting up a intermodal freight transport in South Korea. The last section contains concluding remarks. Results - As for the EU, it has been promoting integration between transport and intermodal logistics network designs while utilizing ITS or ICT and supports for rail freight intermodal by giving reduction to a facilities fee or subsidizing for rail freight in order to minimize the cost of external due to freight transport. On the other hand, as for the U.S., it has been made up of an industrial-led operating project and has been promoting it to improve accessibility between intermodal hubs and cargo terminals through intermodal corridor program, and an intermodal cargo hub access corridor projects, etc. Moreover, it has tried to construct intermodal transport system using ITS or ICT and to remove Barrier. As a result, in these countries, the proportion of intermodal freight transport is going to be the second significant transport compared with rail and maritime transport. An Effective rail intermodal transport system is needed in South Korea, as seen in the case of these countries. In order to achieve this object, the following points are required to establish radical infrastructure policy; diversify investment financing measures taken under public-private partnerships, legal responsibilities, improvement of utilization of existing facilities to connect the railway terminal and truck terminal, and enhancement service competitiveness through providing cargo tracking and security information that combines the ITS and ICT. Conclusions - This study will be used as a basis for policy and support for intermodal freight transport in South Korea. In the future, it is also necessary to examine from the perspective of the shipper companies using the rail intermodal transport, ie, recognition of shipper, needed institutional supports, and transportation demand forecasting and cost-effective analysis of the railway infrastructure systems improvement.

This paper considers the rail crane scheduling problem with minimizing the sum of the range of order completion time and make-span of rail crane simultaneously. The range of order completion time implies the difference between the maximum of completion time and minimum of start time. Make-span refers to the time when all the tasks are completed. At a rail terminal, logistics companies wish to concentrate on their task of loading and unloading container on/from rail freight train at a time in order to increase the efficiency of their equipment such as reach stacker. In other words, they want to reduce the range of their order completion time. As a part of efforts to meet the needs, the crane schedule is rearranged based on worker's experience. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer program. To validate the effectiveness of the model, computational experiments were conducted using a set of data randomly generated.

본 연구는 철도물류터미널에서 작업선 배정 및 열차조성을 위한 최적화 모형을 제시한다. 본 연구에서는 하루 터미널 작업 종료시간을 최소화하며 처리 컨테이너수를 최대화하는 다기준 정수 계획 모형을 개발하였고, 의왕ICD로부터의 실제 데이터로부터 구성된 현실 문제에 대해 본 모형을 적용하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과 목적함수의 가중치에 따라 다양한 파레토 최적해를 산출할 수 있었으며, 기존의 해보다 전체 작업종료 시간을 약 6% 감소시켰으며 이러한 결과는 본 연구에서 개발한 최적화 모형을 적용할 경우 설비의 추가적인 확장 없이도, 철도 컨테이너 터미널의 처리효율 향상을 가져올 수 있음을 의미한다.

철도-공로 복합화물운송은 최초출발지에서 최종목적지까지 화물을 수송함에 있어 철도와 화물자동차를 연계하는 운송시스템이다. 철도-공로 복합화물운송에서 공로(화물자동차)의 역할은 집배송 기능으로 전체 운송과정의 경쟁력에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 철도-공로 복합화물운송의 대표적 화물인 컨테이너를 대상으로 집배송 부분의 효율성을 제고시키기 위한 운송전략을 개발하고 평가하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 컨테이너트럭의 운송거리 최소화를 지향하는 전략과 고객에서의 대기시간 최소화를 주목적으로 하는 전략 등 2개의 집배송 개선전략이 개발되었다. 개발된 전략들은 파리수도권의 실제 집배송망에 적용되어 그 효율성이 비교, 평가되었다. 기존 집배송방식과의 시뮬레이션 비교결과 제안된 전략들이 다양한 성과지표에서 상당히 효율적임이 입증되었다.

The government have plans to improve the railway transport capacity and transport hub for the sustainable national transport and logistics system. Specially, there are much efforts to improve transportation capacity such as high speed transportation of rail freight, enlargement of BT train, development of double stack train, etc. between railway transport hubs. If the transport capacity between railway logistics hubs is increased as planned, we must increase the handling capacity of railway hub terminals. But there are limits to enlarge the terminal infrastructure because of investment scale, location circumstances and urban development plans. To ensure the capacity, with the minimum required enlargement of infrastructure, it is necessary to extremely increase the efficiency of terminal operations. For improving the efficiency, we have to introduce the efficient terminal operation systems based on u-IT and operation optimize technologies. In this paper, we analyse the issues and problems of railway terminals(including ICD) and suggest the concept of intelligent railway terminal and the construction components of technology.

This paper considers the container storage problem determining storage position of inbound containers in a container yard at a rail freight terminal. The objective of the problem is to minimize the total number of rehandles when storing/retrieving containers onto/from stacks in the yard. Rehandle implies the temporary removal from and placement back onto the stack to retrieval a target container. In order to solve the problem, we formulate the problem as a binary integer program.
