The Inland Container Transportation Problem with Separation Mode Considering Carbon Dioxide Emissions

The Inland Container Transportation Problem with Separation Mode Considering Carbon Dioxide Emissions

This paper investigates the Inland Container Transportation (ICT) problem with carbon dioxide emissions. The separation mode that the tractor and semi-trailer could be detached and it permits multitasking to reduce fuel and carbon emission costs. A mixed-integer programming model with Full-Empty con...
