In modern rail-rail transshipment yards huge gantry cranes spanning all railwaytracks allow for an ecient transshipment of containers between differentfreight trains. This way, multiple trains loaded with cargo for varying destinationscan be consolidated to a reduced number of homogeneous...

At rail-road transshipment yards, gantry cranes move containers from freighttrains to trucks and vice versa. They constitute important entities in today'sintermodal transportation systems. Real-world yards are often partitionedinto several disjunct crane areas, so that crane interferences during...

To enable rapid container transshipment between freight trains in modern rail-rail transshipment yards efficient computerized scheduling procedures are indispensable. This paper proposes a dynamic programming approach, which determines yard areas for gantry cranes, so that the workload is evenly...
