Abstract

This paper explores the enhancement of railbased, intermodal freight transport systems through the integration of modular vehicles (MVs), aiming to boost the flexibility of this form of transport and its integration into the mobility-as-a-service framework. This study specifically addresses a specific variant of the Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP) tailored to railway logistics, by developing mathematical models for the Pickup and Delivery Modular Vehicle Routing Problem (PDMVRP) with platooning. This model focuses on the operational challenges associated with routing and platooning of MVs on the railways. A case study conducted within a railway context assesses the efficacy of our model, demonstrating its potential to reduce transportation costs and improve railway capacity utilization, thereby advancing modular vehicle operations in railway environments.
