The City

Urban distribution in medium-sized cities faces a major challenge, mainly when deliveries are difficult in the city center due to: an increase of e-commerce, weak public transportation system, and the promotion of urban sustainability plans. As a result, private cars, public transportation, and freight transportation compete for the same space. This paper analyses the current state for freight logistics in the city center of Pamplona (Spain) and proposes alternative transportation routes and transportation modes in the last-mile city center distribution according to different criteria evaluated by residents. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was developed. A number of alternatives have been assessed considering routes and transportation modes: the shortest route criterion and avoiding some city center area policies are combined with traditional van-based, bike, and aerial (drone) distribution protocols for delivering parcels and bar/restaurant supplies. These alternatives have been evaluated within a multicriteria framework in which economic, environmental, and social objectives are considered at the same time. The point in this multicriteria framework is that the criteria/alternative AHP weights and priorities have been set according to a survey deployed in the city of Pamplona (Navarre, Spain). The survey and AHP results show the preference for the use of drone or bike distribution in city center in order to reduce social and environmental issues.

The Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa (AsgiSA) identified South Africa's freight logistics challenges as among the key binding constraints on the country's growth aspirations. The research presented here points to the structural imbalance between road and rail freight transport as one of the key contributors to this state of affairs. Most long-distance corridor transport has been captured by road. However, long-distance transport is a market segment that is very suitable for intermodal transportation : rail is utilised for the high-density, long-distance component and road for the feeder and distribution services at the corridor end points. A market segmentation approach is developed to identify the corridors and industries that are natural candidates for such solutions, thereby paving the way for role-players and stakeholders to initiate a dialogue on the development of appropriate solutions.

Low emission logistics have become an expected and desired goal in all fields of transportation, particularly in the European Union. Heavy-duty trucks (HDTs) are significant producers of emissions and pollution in inland transports. Their role is significant, as in multimodal transport chains truck transportation is, in most cases, the only viable solution to connect hinterlands with ports. Diesel engines are the main power source of trucks and their emission efficiency is the key challenge in environmentally sound freight transportation. This review paper addresses the academic literature focusing on truck emissions. The paper relies on the preliminary hypothesis that simple single solutions are nonexistent and that there will be a collection of suggestions and solutions for improving the emission efficiency in trucks. The paper focuses on the technical properties, emission types, and fuel solutions used in freight logistics. Truck manufacturing, maintenance, and other indirect emissions like construction of road infrastructure have been excluded from this review.

ZusammenfassungDie Gestaltung digitaler Geschäftsmodelle basiert auf dem disruptiven Potenzial von technologischen Innovationen, das in unterschiedlichen Branchen genutzt wird. Der Logistik kommt in Anbetracht ihrer essentiellen Querschnittfunktion sowie der Entstehung umfangreicher Daten durch den Einsatz verschiedener IT-Systeme für die Abwicklung von Frachttransporten eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Derzeitige Debatten werden mit Blick auf das Cloud-Computing sowie die Merkmale neu entstehender digitaler Plattformen geführt. Insbesondere für das Transportmanagement im Güterkraftverkehr entstehen datenbasierte as-a-Service Konzepte, die das tradierte Geschäftsmodell von Logistikdienstleistern sowie das Geschäftsfeld der Anbieter von Transportmanagementsystemen (TMS) attackieren. Auffällig ist, dass einer prozessorientierten Betrachtung der cloudbasierten Anwendungssysteme bislang wenig Aufmerksamkeit entgegengebracht wurde. In diesem Beitrag soll ein vertieftes Verständnis für Fracht-Plattformen im Güterverkehr erzeugt werden. Anhand von Experteninterviews wird zunächst das Konzept Freight-Logistics-as-a-Service (FLaaS) für ein datengetriebenes Transportmanagement (DTM) entworfen. Im Anschluss werden auf Grundlage des Business Model Canvas die strategischen Betrachtungen der digitalen Plattformen um Aspekte der Geschäftsmodellentwicklung der Datendienstleister erweitert. Eine intelligente Nutzung des Datenpotentials zeigt sich insbesondere in der Verbesserung der Transparenz sowie der optimierten Auslastung der verfügbaren Transportressourcen. Durch das präsentierte Konzept FLaaS und das betrachtete cloudbasierte Geschäftsmodell werden abschließend strategische Handlungsmaßnahmen formuliert. Die Aspekte Datenkompetenz, Datenstrategie und Kollaboration sind für die Akteure von hoher Relevanz, um eine nachhaltige und wertschöpfende Gestaltung von datengetriebenen Transportketten zu erreichen.
