The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Freight logistics suffers from the lack of coordination of the stakeholders whereas have different objectives and point of views about an efficient system delivery. The rail freight interchanges, as strategic infrastructure, play a critical role in enabling economic growth and development of an efficient logistic. Recent developments in Physical Internet concept have highlighted the need for introducing new logistic innovations and reliable tools to design multimodal facilities. However, most of the previously published studies are limited to operator point of view. This paper analyses the impact of multiple stakeholders (public authorities, freight operators, consumers, infrastructure operators) for designing the interchange for the rail of the future.
