2. Demand rerouting mechanisms with revenue management for intermodal barge transportation networks.

Author

Cui, Yaheng, Bilegan, Ioana C., Duchenne, Eric, and Duvivier, David

Abstract

Inland waterway transportation plays a crucial role in Europe's transportation network and economy. It is an efficient and sustainable mode of transportation, with lower emissions and energy consumption than other modes of transportation, such as road and air. However, the services provided by inland waterway transport can be significantly impacted by adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding. These disruptions can cause delays, cancellations, or even damage to vessels or infrastructure. To improve the system reliability, we propose a set of revenue management based (demand itinerary) rerouting mechanisms for intermodal barge transportation optimisation. Revenue Management policies including several customer categories and fare differentiation are applied. Sequential accept/reject decisions are made based on a probabilistic mixed integer programming model maximising the expected revenue of a carrier. A booking framework is defined over a rolling horizon and capacity allocation/reallocation decisions are made for a set of demands including the current and relevant past and potential future transportation requests. Several (demand) rerouting mechanisms are defined and implemented on different service network configurations. The service network status is regularly updated, in particular with respect to barge capacity variations due to changing water levels. An extensive set of experiments is performed and numerical results are analysed. The study results emphasise the added value but also the need for data availability and information sharing between the different stakeholders of Inland Waterway Transportation systems.

3. IMPACT OF TRADE ROUTE SHIFTS ON EU MEMBER STATES' CUSTOMS DUTIES REVENUES.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyse the trade and economic relations of European Union member states which are important gates of EU trade with third countries. This research highlights the shifting of the trade routes and economic geographic process. What kind of impacts are there in EU countries that a significant part of EU-Chine trade has been moving from vessels to freight trains or combined, overland-maritime transportation? It has partly taken out the former China--Rotterdam/Hamburg maritime way. This paper analyzes the role of the Port of Piraeus in this process as the pretty new but very important port for the Chinese COSCO maritime transportation company and on the other hand how the new structure changes the revenues for the members in this situation. The study employs the so-called collection cost. It is an important revenue for the member states. It comes from the Traditional own resources; it is 20 percent of the tariffs between 2000-2019. It remains in the budget of EU member states and only 80 percent goes to the Brussels budget. The old members especially the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany want to protect their current position and share in the integration trade with third/external partners. It means that these countries can handle the tariff administration and get the mentioned 20 percent amount. The analysis reveals that the new EU members with high potential in international trade would like to recut the "trade-cake" to receive higher benefits from it due to the mentioned collection cost or the value-added tax related to logistics and manufacturing industries. Based upon the analysis, it may be concluded that every member state can increase the revenue from the collection cost and value-added tax, and on the other hand they can decrease the direct GNI-based contribution to the EU's budget due to a better position in international trade.

Abstract

This study introduces a holistic framework for optimising road-rail intermodal hub locations based on real regional freight data and railway station information. The primary objective is to enhance railway transportation capacity, thereby facilitating the development of a low-carbon transport system. Research begins by scrutinising the freight landscape in the region, focusing on transport volume, freight intensity, goods types and average delivery distances. Subsequently, data mining techniques, including DBSCAN clustering and frequent itemset mining, are employed to uncover freight demand hotspots across both spatial and temporal dimensions. Based on these findings, a mathematical model for hub location selection is constructed, along with criteria for goods categories suitable for rail transportation. Ultimately, using the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as a case study, 12 road-rail intermodal hubs are identified, along with the main cargo types best suited for rail transport within their respective service areas. This transition is expected to result in an annual reduction of 470,000 tons of regional carbon emissions. The proposed method framework provides valuable guidance and practical insights for the optimisation of freight structures in various regions. Furthermore, it aligns with contemporary environmental and sustainability objectives, contributing to the broader goal of establishing low-carbon transport systems.

Abstract

This paper presents the comprehensive state-of-the-art on the challenges that short sea shipping currently faces across the world. The concept and its relationship with coastal shipping are introduced, followed by a review of the EU policies for short sea shipping and its practical impacts in modal split. A survey of the literature on the strong and weak points of this form of transportation is carried out, aimed at explaining the difficulties in achieving relevant modal shifts from road to sea. The experience with short sea shipping across the world is described and discussed, providing a global perspective. The paper then discusses the main challenges and opportunities in this field, namely decarbonisation, autonomous navigation, and digitalization. Conclusions are drawn on the possible impact of these game changing developments in this segment of the shipping industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
