Özet

This chapter aims to obtain the optimal routings for intermodal transport corridor from Turkey to the United Kingdom through a model based on the principles of 0-1 goal programming method, optimizing conflicting objectives such as minimizing transport costs, transit-time, and maximizing transit-time reliability. Cost and transit-time data in the study were obtained from a shipper company and used such an input for 0-1 goal programming model. The secondary aim in this study is to measure transit-time reliability with the transit-time data regarding conducted shipments. Thus, the Burr distribution (type XII) has been used to represent the observed transit-time data to measure the transit-time variability. The proposed model shows that transit-time reliability can play a more decisive role than transport cost and transit-time factor for competitiveness of intermodal transport routes.
