A Network Approach for Restructuring the Korean Freight Railway Considering Customer Behavior

초록

This paper is concerned with a problem of restructuring the Korean rail freight network. It presents a multi-commodity network flow model for the problem. The model is designed to support decision-making on capacity expansion of rail terminals in order to minimize demand loss during restructuring. Customer behavior regarding demand loss was represented in the network model by over°ow and spill arcs. A computational procedure was developed for analyzing the restructuring process in multiple stages. Actual data for the analysis is provided by the Korean freight railway.
