Truck Arrival Shift: An Advisory-Based Time Slot Management System to Mitigate Waiting Time at Container Terminal gates

This paper introduces an advisory-based time slot management system to control truck arrivals at seaport terminals with the aim to reduce congestion at terminal gates. We propose, develop and apply a modeling framework to assess the impact of a truck arrival shift for a use case in the Port of Rotterdam. This system is designed to apply control...

On the impact of vehicle automation on the value of travel time while performing work and leisure activities in a car: Theoretical insights and results from a stated preference survey

Many experts believe the transport system is about to change dramatically. This change is due to so-called fully-automated vehicles . However, at present, there are numerous important knowledge gaps that need to be solved for the successful integration of AVs in our transport systems, in particular regarding the impacts of AVs on travel demand....

Using metro smart card data to model location choice of after-work activities: An application to Shanghai

A location choice model explains how travellers choose their trip destinations especially for those activities which are flexible in space and time. The model is usually estimated using travel survey data; however, little is known about how to use smart card data (SCD) for this purpose in a public transport network. Our study extracted trip...

Inventory theory, mode choice and network structure in freight transport

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...
