Abstract
In current practice, two types of rail freight are common: In so-called wagonload freight, individual trains are composed of individual wagons, while block trains have a fixed set of wagons and directly connect their source to their destination without intermediate stops.
Wagon load trains allow more flexibility, but the uncoupling and rearranging operations of wagons are rather costly. In this study, we investigate an alternative approach to combine the advantages of both operation techniques and potentially increase the efficiency of the
freight sector.
