APPLICATION OF MULTISETS FOR INTERMODAL TERMINALS DESIGN

Arrangement of cargo tracks in the form of a railway siding system is one of key elements of intermodal terminals infrastructure, no matter whether it is connected to maritime or inland terminals. Several studies were presented in the literature review connected to the aspect of mentioned railway siding system. Authors of the paper present new approach to the problem with taking into account multisets which are modification of the concept of sets, well known from sets theory. The paper consists of literature review and references to literature that have made the realistic conditions of the analytical model. The paper also contains the analytical model and its description (this is the significant part of this paper), a brief reference to the implementation of analytical model into software and a computing example with use of mentioned software.
