Abstract: In this paper, we propose an optimization-simulation coupling approach for containers handling operations in a rail/road intermodal terminal. Indeed, we develop a mathematical model that aims to optimize both the stacks used in the terminal's storage area and the unproductive movements of loading and unloading containers, which leads to reducing the total handling time. Then, a simulation model computes the latter and evaluates the optimization's results of containers handling scenarios in order to identify the best solution. The model is successfully tested on a real-case study, the Moissy-Cramayel inland rail/road intermodal terminal in Paris region to and from the port of Le Havre.
