Analysis of Reshuffling Cost at a Container Terminal

Intermodal transport is a popular mode of freight transportation over long distances. Apart of reliability the economic efficiency becomes crucial issue of the intermodal operation. Economic efficiency and improve the efficiency of the transshipment operations is the challenge that face intermodal yard planners. The purpose of this article is an analysis of the cost of reshuffling and the proposal for its limitations. The paper includes analysis of moves productivity and cost estimation. There is propose of heuristic method in the paper, which helps to reduce cost of unproductive moves.

Information System as a Cause of Cargo Handling Process Disruption in Intermodal Terminal

The issue of reliability in the cargo handling process is very important. The particular importance is the level of cargo service in relation to intermodal transport. The specificity of this way of good transportation require high effectiveness in the mutual interaction of information systems, technology and man activity. Container handling process on intermodal terminal is presented and divided into five pub-processes. The aim of the article is to present level of disruptions coming from information fail. The Authors focused on information system that appear the weakest among the primary reasons of disruptions. The article includes errors selection due to the cause of their formation and their impact on the correctness of the process implementation.
