Abstract: Abstract Motorail transportation covers the loading of various types of vehicles onto transportation wagons. The detailed treatment of realistic technical and legal constraints by integer linear programming models is challenging especially in terms of computation times. This paper considers decision support for the loading process at motorail terminals with the goal of speeding up the entire loading process while guaranteeing the feasibility of the proposed loading plan at all times. Specially tailored integer programming formulations are proposed and their suitability for real-world use is evaluated by means of a case study.
