Abstract

Intermodal transport is a popular mode of freight transportation over long distances. Apart of reliability the economic efficiency becomes crucial issue of the intermodal operation. Economic efficiency and improve the efficiency of the transshipment operations is the challenge that face intermodal yard planners. The purpose of this article is an analysis of the cost of reshuffling and the proposal for its limitations. The paper includes analysis of moves productivity and cost estimation. There is propose of heuristic method in the paper, which helps to reduce cost of unproductive moves.
