Foldable Containers: a New Perspective on Reducing
In this paper we analyse why previous initiatives for foldable containers failed and discuss the conditions required for successful commercial
Innovative logistics: Stacking small containers for
Sachinder Mohan Sharma from DFCCIL examines how small freight containers can optimise logistic costs for train operations throughout India.
Improving Logistics Management Using
The study examines the advantages of implementing foldable/collapsible containers in logistics management, focusing on their potential in reducing operational
Distributed Robust Chance-Constrained Empty Container
The model has three cases. Case 1: h1 = 1, h2 = 0, involves using only standard containers; Case 2: h1 = 0, h2 = 1, involves using only foldable containers; Case 3: h1 = 1, h2 = 1, uses standard containers
Distributed Robust Chance-Constrained Empty Container
This established model considered sea-land intermodal transportation, uncertain empty container demand and foldable containers.
Distributed Robust Chance-Constrained Empty
When standard and foldable containers were used simultaneously, the total cost could be greatly reduced by appropriately using foldable
Loading optimization of mixed-type containers for double-stack trains
This paper introduces a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model aimed at maximizing transportation efficiency in multi-hub logistics networks, which include intermodal terminals and
Effects of using foldable containers in hinterland areas
In this study, the authors analyze the effects of using a restricted number of foldable containers in hinterland areas. Mathematical models were developed to minimize total costs, and various effects of
Repositioning of empty containers using both standard and
We determine the quantities of repositioned, leased (both standard and foldable) containers and whether facilities for handling foldable containers exist in port.
