| 摘要： | Shifting freight transport from road to rail and intermodal road-rail transport is an ambitious goal of the European Commission to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector [1]. In this context, Hub-and-Spoke (HS) system has been identified as an efficient way to attract low-volume demands over short distances [2], where the cargos for different origin-destination (OD) pairs could be Consolidated to a large and long-haul train in a hub to realize transportation scale economies [3, 4, 5]. A sophisticated bundling between different traffic flows is required to enable the Operation of such a complex System and ensure the efficient use of resources [6]. However, it is not an easy task to complete the overall bundling of all relevant traffic flows.In this paper, we will discuss the poten-tial challenges in the bundling tasks of HS structure around a rail-rail and road-rail transshipment terminal, which enables the implementation of the HS structure in a rail system. As a result, we propose answering the following two questions: 1. What bundling decisions are involved in the implementation of the HS structure? 2. What are the challenges in operating the rail transshipment terminal? |
