In the forthcoming decades, Eurasia will be a place of new growth and prosperity. China is rapidly increasing international infrastructure investments, such as stimulating the One Belt One Road Programme (or the Belt and Road Initiative) which will serve different European cities. This book covers block trains, intermodal and multimodal transport, piggyback transport, single-wagon transport and other types of freight traffic, offering an up-to-date, Eurasian perspective filled with many cases and models (with software re-creating the real world) that help the reader to understand the dynamics of the unprecedented changes that have taken place in logistics and supply chain management. The simulation process and systems approach are described in a simple and step-by-step format, allowing the reader to build models from scratch. Through the basics and essential concepts detailed here, even complete beginners will be able to quickly grasp the idea of the usability of a dynamic systems approach for managing Eurasian intermodal supply chains.
