Cathy Macharis,Y. Bontekoning +1 more
TLDR
It is argued that intermodal freight transportation research is emerging as a new transportation research application field, that it still is in a pre-paradigmatic phase, and that it needs a different type of models than those applicated to uni-modal transport.About:

The multiple traveling salesman problem : an overview of formulations and solution procedures
TL;DR: The multiple traveling salesman problem (mTSP) as discussed by the authors is a generalization of the well-known TSP, where more than one salesman is allowed to be used in the solution.

Operations Research for Green Logistics – An Overview of Aspects, Issues, Contributions and Challenges
TL;DR: This paper presents a review that highlights the contribution of operations research to green logistics, which involves the integration of environmental aspects in logistics, and indicates several areas where environmental aspects could be included in OR models for logistics.

Synchronization in Vehicle Routing---A Survey of VRPs with Multiple Synchronization Constraints
TL;DR: A survey of vehicle routing problems with multiple synchronization constraints, which presents a classification of different types of synchronization and discusses the central issues related to the exact and heuristic solution of such problems.

Part II: Policy instruments for sustainable road transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider three types of policies: physical policies, soft policies, and knowledge policies, which aim to bring about changes in consumers' and firms' behaviour, but in different ways.

Is a new applied transportation research field emerging? a review of intermodal rail-truck freight transport literature
TL;DR: In this article, an intermodal research agenda is proposed which can direct the inter-modal transport field towards a period of "normal science" in the transport industry and towards a more mature independent research field, which can be justified because inter modal transport is a complex system that has characteristics which distinguish it from other transport systems.

Stochastic and dynamic networks and routing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general framework for formulating and solving stochastic, dynamic network problems, including shortest paths, traveling salesman-type problems and vehicle routing.

Models for rail transportation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the existing literature models for rail transportation with two goals in mind: (a) to collect and categorize rail modelling efforts, and (b) to position the rail-related literature in the context of other transportation models and provide an introduction to this field for nonspecialists.

Survey Paper—A Review of Empty Flows and Fleet Management Models in Freight Transportation
TL;DR: A taxonomy of empty vehicle flow problems and models is proposed and the advantages of a hierarchically integrated approach for the simultaneous management of empty and loaded freight vehicle movements are discussed.
