Abstract
The paper examines the optimization possibilities of container loading tasks regarding intermodal terminals. The research carried out is of great importance, as the role of these terminals is expected to increase in the future based on the forecasts. The research presents the operational characteristics of intermodal terminals well as applicable loading procedures and tools. It analyses current optimization approaches, including logistics and technological developments, using a systematic literature review (SLR). The article explores additional optimization opportunities offered by artificial intelligence, 5G networks and simulation models, which can contribute to more efficient loading tasks and provide higher-quality logistics services. The presented results represent a valuable contribution to the development of railway logistics systems from both a practical and a theoretical point of view.
