Abstract: Die Verarbeitungsmenge in der Logistik von Seehäfen bricht jedes Jahr Rekorde. Der Autor untersucht die dynamische Strategie von Logistik-Lieferanten und Unternehmen auf der Suche nach den besten Dienstleistungen, um das langfristige Gleichgewicht zwischen der Verteilung von Kunden...

This article analyzes the concept of logistics networks in the context of behavioral freight transport modeling. Starting from the basic definition of networks, the different perceptions of networks in transportation science and logistics are worked out. The micro–macro gap, as a main...

The welfare effects of two policies that could promote intermodal services, investment grants for terminal operators and the internalisation of external cost are analysed. For this purpose, a market equilibrium model has been developed, covering the dynamic demand and supply interactions of...

This paper presents an agent-based approach to commodity transport modeling. It assesses the effects of behavior-oriented transport policy measures while taking complex logistics reaction patterns into account. It is structured by modules describing company generation, supplier choice,...

An approach is presented to model the formation of spontaneously emerging associations of freight transport actors. Those agglomerations of logistics actors could be referred to as colloidal structures. The proposed approach combines insights from physics and economics. Typical logistics...
