Robust empty container repositioning considering foldable co
There are many efforts to reduce the cost of repositioning empty containers, one of which is a foldable container. This paper proposes a robust formulation for the empty container
Evolution of the economy and convenience of railway container
Using complex network models, community structures, GE matrix models, and the “center-periphery” theory, this study analyzes the evolutionary characteristics and coordination
Do Foldable Containers Enhance Efficient Empty Container
This study considers the empty container repositioning problem of shipping companies that use standard and 3-in-1 foldable containers with more advanced designs. A
Multi-period empty container repositioning approach for
We subdivide container freight stations into rail stations and road stations and consider using sea, road, and railway as transportation modes to transfer empty containers.
Do Foldable Containers Enhance Efficient Empty
This study considers the empty container repositioning problem of shipping companies that use standard and 3-in-1 foldable
Distributed Robust Chance-Constrained Empty Container
Using foldable containers could reduce the total cost of empty container repositioning. With the improvement of service level, the numbers of empty container repositioning increased owing to...
Multi-period empty container repositioning
We subdivide container freight stations into rail stations and road stations and consider using sea, road, and railway as transportation
ANALYZING THE EFFECTS OF USING BOTH FOLDABLE
We analyze the effects of foldable containers using a newly developed multi-port and multi-period container planning model. The proposed model is a large-scale optimization problem, for
Do Foldable Containers Enhance Efficient Empty
If foldable containers are introduced, more containers can be reused, reducing resource wastage. Moreover, this contributes to the reduction of road traffic volume, port congestion, and carbon

We use the model to minimize total transportation costs, inventory holding, handling, folding and unfolding, container leasing, and
(PDF) Economic benefits of deploying foldable containers:
We use the model to minimize total transportation costs, inventory holding, handling, folding and unfolding, container leasing, and installing facilities that accommodate
Foldable Containers to Reduce the Costs of Empty Transport
Here lies an important technical challenge for designers and container manufacturers to develop a foldable container, which can be operated within the financial and logistical conditions that
Design and Cost-Effectiveness of 5-Tier Foldable Container
The folding/unfolding process of the foldable container is executed at the railway station or at the sea terminal. Based upon these assumptions, Table 4 compares the
