[EN] The development of a mathematical model that represents/explains in the most exhaustive way the inland container flow network to maximize the profit generated by the inland service. The main goal of the formulated model is to answer these questions. o Which import customer will be satisfied? o How the new network will be? o How many inland depots are needed? o Which export customer will not be satisfied? The model will incorporate mainly: • The movements of the charged container from port to the final destination • The allocation/distribution of the empty container among customers, ports and depots. • The option that some customers could not be satisfied.
