All the definitions referring specifically to the geographical framework of Europe may be applied to other regions of the world. They are intended for the work of the three intergovernmental organizations, the European Community, the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) and the UN/ECE. The purpose of this glossary is to determine the meaning of the terms in current use, and to make them more easing understandable by the increasing number of people who use them, the politicians, technical personnel or those operating in the various modes of transport concerned. These definitions are not applicable in their strictest sense to the legal and statistical fields, whose relevant documents of reference exist already. This being the case, the translation of the most widely used terms in combined transport into the three working languages of the UN/ECE is intended to gradually harmonize this terminology.

Freight Rail Transport Governance: an International Issue
Corporate Ownership & Control / Volume 13, Issue 4, Summer 2016, Continued - 3 FREIGHT RAIL TRANSPORT GOVERNANCE: AN INTERNATIONAL ISSUE WJ (Wessel) Pienaar* * Stellenbosch University, Department of Industrial Engineering, Private Bag X1, Matieland, 7602, South Africa Abstract Since the economic deregulation of freight transport operations internationally, it has been necessary to have a workable knowledge and an understanding of the types of freight wagons that can help to be instrumental in the efficient and effective market participation of rail technology in the freight transport market. The article identifies and describes the most commonly used rail freight wagons for commercial purposes internationally. The investigation has indicated that subsequent to the economic deregulation of freight transport, there are nine rail wagon types manufactured and commonly used internationally. They are: (1) covered wagon/van; (2) refrigerated wagon/van; (3) flat wagon; (4) tank wagon; (5) container wagon; (6) open wagon; (7) hopper wagon; (8) side stanchion and centre partition wagon; and (9) motorcar wagon. The study revealed that the following three factors mainly dictate wagon design: (1) characteristics of the freight to be transported; (2) physical railway characteristics; and (3) the type of freight terminals and handling equipment necessary to efficiently and effectively accommodate and support rail freight transport.

Developing a Tool for Designing a Container Terminal Yard
Developing a Tool for Designing a Container Terminal Yard Master Thesis Project Prof. Ir. Tiedo Vellinga Chairman TU Delft Civil Engineering/Hydraulic Engineering Ir. Michiel de Jong Supervisor TU Delft Civil Engineering/Hydraulic Engineering Dr. H. P. M. Veeke Supervisor TU Delft Mechanical, Maritime and Materials/ Marine and Transport Technology Ir. Joppe Burgers Supervisor Royal Haskoning B.V. Maritime Division By: Nima Sharif Mohseni 4046803 Acknowledgement This report is the final result of Master of Science Hydraulic Engineering at Delft University of Technology. The study was done at Maritime Division of Royal Haskoning B.V. (RHMD), in Rotterdam. The subject for the thesis was offered by RHMD. The aim of this research is to provide RHMD with a tool for engineers to prepare a concept design of a container terminal layout. The package should provide RHMD with information on the required total area for a new container terminal. First of all my thanks go to my graduation committee: Prof. Ir. Tiedo Vellinga who provided overall guidance of my work on this research, and Ir. Joppe Burgers from RHMD who help me as the daily supervisor. I am very grateful to Dr. Ir. H. P. M. Veeke and Ir. Michiel de Jong for their kind cooperation and their invaluable feedbacks on my master thesis project. Furthermore, my colleagues at Royal Haskoning have been very helpful, friendly and cooperative with my occasional setbacks. Special thanks to Ir. J. Beeman for providing me with constructive inputs and valuable references during my time at RHMD. Last but not least, this project has been facilitated thanks to Royal Haskoning B.V. -
Analysis of Operations Upon Entry Into Intermodal Freight Terminals
applied sciences Article Analysis of Operations upon Entry into Intermodal Freight Terminals Mariusz Kostrzewski * and Arkadiusz Kostrzewski Faculty of Transport, Warsaw University of Technology, Koszykowa 75, 00-662 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-22-234-7337 Received: 24 May 2019; Accepted: 21 June 2019; Published: 23 June 2019 Abstract: The design of intermodal freight terminals requires extensive research and a thorough analysis of the technical, financial and organizational aspects. In the paper, the operation of the reposition of large cargo containers (one of the types of intermodal transport units, ITUs) on the dedicated places is subjected to a discussion. The analysis is carried out with the use of a vehicle equipped with a telescopic arm, such as a reach stacker. The considered storage facility is reduced to a block characterized by spatial accumulation given in the paper. The description of the procedure for the execution of the handling operation from the arrival of a tractor-trailer with a container into a terminal, followed by the ITUs being set aside in a dedicated place and, in the end, the departure of the truck without load, is given in the paper. The activities are described in detail in order to present a descriptive model of particular operations upon entry to the intermodal freight terminal. Moreover, the paper contains relevant figures illustrating the various steps of realization and the analysis of duration of activities supported by actual realizations. The durations of the individual activities described in the paper are experimental, and the results have been validated on real-world intermodal freight terminals. -
