Abstract: The ongoing development of world trade has increased the demand for safe and resilient container transport. In this paper, we apply the concept of resilience to the context of a port-hinterland container transportation network. We first propose our definition of resilience within this context, and then build an integer programming model to obtain a quantitative measure of resilience from the perspective of shippers. The model is tested using a numerical simulation based on the specific case of Gothenburg Port and part of its hinterland. Finally, the validity and reliability of the model are tested.
