The containerization of single wagonload transport in the magazine “Internationales Verkehrswesen”

In order to support the modal shift from road to rail freight transport, it is necessary to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of single wagonload transport. Innovative concepts that enable the separation of freight wagons and containers in single wagonload transport offer new potential for acting more flexibly and responding better to customer needs. In our article in the latest issue of “Internationales Verkehrswesen”, Aylin Altun and Prof. Elbert discuss the changes to be expected in planning and processes as a result of the containerization of single wagonload transport.

The topic of containerization is particularly interesting when it comes to the scheduling of carrying wagons and containers. We are conducting research on this topic in cooperation with DB Cargo as part of the Research Lab Innovative Freight Wagon .
