A Framework on Centralised to Decentralised Logistics Control Structures Applied in Two Case Studies

Developments on digitalisation and automation in transport and logistics create new possibilities in the organisation of supply chains. New technologies can disrupt existing control structures, establish new forms of control and improve the efficiency and flexibility of operations. This paper provides a framework to analyse the trade-offs and...

Mass-Balance Method for Provision of Net Zero Emission Transport Services

There is a strong need to reduce emissions from transport and logistics. Electrificationand use of greener energy carriers and fuels provide a ready way to reduce emissions, but thesetechnologies are generally more expensive than the conventional ones they are replacing. Fortunately,some shippers are willing to pay the extra cost to ship their...

Different charging strategies for electric vehicle fleets in urban freight transport

The transition from diesel-driven urban freight transport towards more electric urban freight transport turns out to be challenging in practice. A major concern for transport operators is how to find a reliable charging strategy for a larger electric vehicle fleet that provides flexibility based on different daily mission profiles within that...

Bezorgeconomie: de effecten op mobiliteit, milieu en leefomgeving

Online winkelen is populair. Tussen 2010 en 2019 zijn de online bestedingen in Nederland volgens brancheorganisatie Thuiswinkel.org gestegen van circa 10 miljard tot bijna 26 miljard euro. In 2020 hebben de coronamaatregelen geleid tot een groei van 40 tot 60% in het aantal online aankopen (data CBS over 2020 en 2021). De groei vlakte in het...

Decentralized and centralized transport and logistics carbon emission optimization and emission norms for the transport and logistics sector

Transport and logistics is one of the most important economic sectors contributing to the climate change. By the nature of transport and logistics operations, the sector is one of the most difficult ones to decarbonize. This paper proposes using carbon footprinting tools to optimize logistics operations with respect to emissions, and to setup...

Carbon footprinting of Combined Passenger Freight Operations in Aviation Networks

If CO2 emissions are taken into account in planning air freight logistics, the IATA RP 1678 method for CO2 emission computations will give preference to using a dedicated freighter over the belly of a passenger aircraft for transporting cargo in an aviation network. This report quantitatively illustrates that this can lead to unnecessary...

Outlook Pakketmarkt en thuisleveringen

In deze Outlook is het stadslogistieke segment ‘Pakketmarkt en thuisleveringen’ in 2030 bestudeerd. In dit segment staat er veel te gebeuren. De levering van pakketten (aan huishoudens en bedrijven), en recenter, thuisbezorgde boodschappen, groeit sterk en dit is versneld als gevolg van de COVID-19 crisis waarbij consumenten tijdens ...

Towards harmonization of Carbon Footprinting methodologies: a recipe for reporting in compliance with the GLEC Framework, Objectif CO2 and SmartWay for the accounting tool BigMile TM

Carbon Footprinting (CF) is an important tool for reduction of CO2 and other Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from freight transport and logistics. A properly implemented CF procedure provides for visibility of GHG emissions in supply and logistics chains, thus creating opportunities to understand emission reduction potentials and implement...

Overzicht KPI's, monitoringplan en datavereisten

Dit document heeft als doel om de Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) en de daarvan afgeleide datavereisten vast te leggen ten behoeve van de monitoringfase van het DKTI FLEX EV project. Hierbij moet er rekening mee worden gehouden dat de data die in de proeftuinen wordt gegenereerd ook gebruikt gaat worden voor de opschalingsanalyse, waarin het...
