Abstract This paper develops a model that enables comparative analysis of intermodal and synchromodal operations from economic, societal, and environmental perspectives. The model captures relevant (day-to-day and within-day) dynamics in freight transport demand and supply, flexible multimodal routing with transfers and transhipments. The capacitated schedule-based assignment algorithm operating specifically at path level allows strategic modelling and evaluation accounting for the freight transport system at operational level. The Rotterdam hinterland container transport case study shows that synchromodal system is likely to improve transport service level, capacity utilization, and modal shift, but not to reduce delivery costs.

    Highlights Identified requirements for strategic modelling of synchromodal freight transport system New model simulates and evaluates intermodal and synchromodal transport. We model demand and supply dynamics, and schedule-based multimodal routing. Model applied to real-life case for Rotterdam hinterland container transport Synchromodal services yield societal and environmental, but limited economic benefits.
