Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Intermodal Road-Rail Transportation for Express Transport Services
Sammanfattning : Express transport services are produced in highly modularised transport systems, a fact that implies that one subsystem can be exchanged for another without causing a need for major changes in other parts of the system. Express goods are not common on a large scale in freight railway transport systems, as those are often not considered reliable enough for time-critical goods. LÄS MER
3. Assessment of Telematic Systems for Road Freight Transport
Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis is the assessment of telematic systems for road freight transport from a planning perspective. The aim is to support strategic decisions related to architectural choices for such systems, with the possibility to achieve synergies by supporting multiple telematic services. LÄS MER
4. Waste in road transport operations - using information sharing to increase efficiency
Sammanfattning : In terms of efficiency, road transport operations have historically seen very little development relative to other supply chain areas and some authors have even referred to freight transportation as the “forgotten factor.” Several studies world-wide have shown a generally low level of efficiency in road transport operations. The U.S. LÄS MER
5. Energy efficiency improvements in logistics as a means to environmental sustainability: The case of capacity utilisation in road freight transportation
Sammanfattning : The energy consumption in logistics, and especially in road freight transportation, is steadily increasing and with that the greenhouse gas emissions which have a negative impact on the environment. In order to improve environmental sustainability of logistics, a change in the actors’ behaviour and policies is needed since the development of technology alone is not sufficient. LÄS MER
