van Battum, C.H.H. (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), Atasoy, B. (author), van Wingerden, E. (author), de Waal, A. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author)Container terminal capacity is often limited by (in)efciency bottlenecks. This paper provides the design and proof of concept for the bottleneck mitigation cycle (BMC), consisting of three steps: bottleneck classifcation, detection and alleviation. While, often, the literature only focuses on alleviation of a single bottleneck and ignores...article 2022

Nadi, A. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Truck flow patterns can best be understood through the study of freight activities on a transportation network. These activities are often observable after the execution of tours resulting from a routing and scheduling optimization process where the traditional Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is used to minimize multiple objectives...conference paper 2022

Sharma, S. (author), van Lint, H. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), Snelder, M. (author)Optimizing route choices for truck drivers is a key element in achieving reliable road freight operations. For commercial reasons, it is often difficult to collect freight activity data through traditional surveys. Automated vehicle identification (AVI) data on fixed locations (e.g., Bluetooth or camera) are low-cost alternatives that may hold...article 2022

Davydenko, I. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), Quak, H.J. (author)Several studies show that logistics facilities have spread spatially from relatively concentrated clusters in the 1970s to geographically more decentralized patterns away from urban areas. The literature indicates that logistics costs are one of the major influences on changes in distribution structures, or locations and usage of logistics...article 2021

Nadi, A. (author), York-Smith, N. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), Snelder, M. (author)The spatial and temporal catachrestic of freight road transport is important to study daily patterns of freight activities. This requires a model that can reproduce these spatial-temporal patterns. This paper proposes a surrogate-based optimization method to calibrate a data-driven time-dependent vehicle routing and scheduling model that can be...conference paper 2021

Faber, T. (author), Sharma, S. (author), Snelder, M. (author), Klunder, G.A. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), van Lint, H. (author)Truck platooning is the application of cooperative adaptive cruise control where multiple trucks are electronically linked using vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Although truck platoons might bring fuel savings and emission reductions, their interactions with surrounding traffic and resulting impact on traffic operations and safety are not...article 2020

Sharma, S. (author), Snelder, M. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), van Lint, H. (author)Lane-changing models are essential components for microscopic simulation. Although the literature recognizes that different classes of vehicles have different ways of performing lane-change maneuvers, lane change behavior of truck drivers is an overlooked research area. We propose that truck drivers are heterogeneous in their lane change...article 2020

Nadi, A. (author), Snelder, M. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), Sharma, S. (author), van Lint, H. (author)Bluetooth technology is receiving more and more attention to support travel time measurement for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) applications. Bluetooth receivers are used to time-stamp passing identical vehicles at different locations based on their unique MAC addresses. This information is useful to predict travel times and estimate...conference paper 2019

van Duin, R. (author), Slabbekoorn, M. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author), Quak, H.J. (author)Cities’ sustainability strategies seem to aim at the reduction of the negative impacts of urban freight transport. In the past decades, many public and private initiatives have struggled to gain broad stakeholder support and thus remain viable. Researchers and practitioners have only recently recognised stakeholder acceptance of urban freight...article 2018

Wang, B. (author), Snelder, M. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author)Understanding of freight truck travel behavior in urban transportation network is essential for regional economy, and choice set generation is the basis for the analysis. This paper uses the planned trip data and realized GPS trajectory data of trucks to evaluate the performance of choice set generation algorithms. The difference between planned...conference paper 2018

Combes, F. (author), Tavasszy, L.A. (author)In passenger transport, hub-and-spoke networks allow the transportation of small passenger flows with competitive frequencies, in a way that direct line networks cannot. Equivalently, in freight transport, it can be expected that small shipper-receiver flows of high added value commodities transit through hub and spoke networks, while larger...article 2016

The complexity of urban freight systems means that it is essential for the public and private sectors to work together - one way to achieve this has been through freight partnerships. A short review of freight partnerships...article 2016

Tavasszy, L.A. (author), de Jong, G. (author)Data are essential for any empirical modelling effort. In freight transport, obtaining good data for modelling can be a challenge because of the difficulty to observe freight processes directly, the often proprietary nature of logistics data, and a relatively poor data acquisition infrastructure. In this chapter we review the different data...bookPart 2013
