Abstract

The railway freight terminals play a key role within the multimodal logistic chain. Therefore, the transit time through these terminals represents one of the most relevant terminal performances and at the same time a key component of the freight transport generalised cost, so that its quantitative analysis is a strategic activity, both in the terminal planning and in the logistic chain organisation. The transit time is composed by deterministic and stochastic components, which increases significantly the problem complexity. In a general framework the freight terminals to be considered are: a) land freight interchanges: interchange between trains and trucks; b) marshalling yards: modification of trains composition within the railway system; c) railway maritime terminals: interchange between ships and trains. In order to investigate the sensitivity of the transit time for different terminal typology the model has been applied to some case studies
