Abstract
In order to see a shift in modal split in favour of trains as envisioned by the European Union it is necessary for intermodal transport solutions to compete with trucking. Assuming it is possible to compete on price it is necessary to achieve transit times in intermodal networks that are similar to those of direct door-to-door transportation. An intuitive idea is to reduce excess waiting time by synchronizing the schedules of the routes in the intermodal network. In this session we present a model based on the multicommodity network design problem that captures the synchronization aspect by introducing a value of time.
