THE EUROPEAN FREIGHT TRANSPORT SYSTEM: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE NEW GENERATION OF BUNDLING NETWORKS
This paper describes theoretical background of the innovative (new generation) of bundling networks emerged in the European freight transport system for the past decade. Four types of the network configurations have been analyzed. These are: the point-to-point network, the network of trunk line with collecting/distribution forks, the hub-and-spokes network and the line (or ring) network. For each configuration, the analytical models for quantifying the total delay and generalized cost of loading units in the network have been developed. In addition, the qualitative outcomes from these models have been discussed.
