Abstract

Inland terminals are becoming important objects (knots) in today’s supply chain. This implies new methods to determine the location of inland terminal. Appropriate inland terminal location (ITL) decision depends on analyzing demand, employee’s availability, investment capabilities and other factors. In this paper we present gravity center method and median method as quantitative ones and Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP), ELECTRE and PROMETHEE as complex decision methods to determine inland terminal location. Given methods are implemented on the example of inland terminal location determination in Republic of Croatia.
