An emerging stream of Crowd-Shipping (CS) solutions focuses on existing momentum in Public Transportation (PT) to ship viable delivery packages by PT passengers. Few studies have explored the package acceptance behavior passengers engaged PT-based CS initiatives while passengers' behavioral intention participate (i.e., engage) is not studied. It requisite that newly introduced platforms explore their potential crowdshippers' and set efficient marketing strategies. Given survey data collected...

Researchers have investigated various planning aspects of public Parcel Lockers (PLs), but little is known about the wider benefits on-premises parcel lockers (OPLs). More recently OPLs received attention as a solution to address problem failed deliveries, well provide safe and secure delivery experience customers. Although enhanced convenience for residents, major impediment towards their adoption high capital ongoing costs. Currently, suppliers require individual buildings fully cover...

This research investigates the benefits of using swap containers in Two-Echelon (2E) urban delivery systems, which extend beyond reduced handling costs and processing time van-bike systems. By drawing on success standardized freight international shipping industry, can be used to substitute low-capacity vehicles first echelon with large-capacity such as buses or trams. Standardization also encourage collaboration bring economies scale. The study proposes a 2E Capacitated Vehicle Routing...

This paper provides a comprehensive review in the domain of hazardous material transportation from an Operational Research point view. The paper's focus lies on hazmat routing, routing-scheduling, and network design problems. objective this is twofold: (1) reviewing models' assumptions, objectives constraints, decisions, input parameters, basic modeling/solution techniques, case studies, (2) highlighting underlying features challenges designing models with different modes. Besides, most...

On-premises Parcel Lockers (OPLs) have recently garnered attention as a convenient, safe, and secure parcel delivery solution in urban areas. Companies like Amazon Hub, GroundFloor, My Locker adopted basic Service Revenue Models (SRMs), providing OPLs buildings under different contract arrangements, such subscription models, annual partnership fees, etc. However, high capital ongoing costs impede the adoption of for small buildings. This study aims to develop advanced decision models revenue...

The subject of this research is to model the probability accepting package delivery tasks in Crowd-Shipping (CS) systems focusing on shipping packages by Public Transportation (PT) passengers. Real-world implementation such a PT-based CS initiative requires proper grasp behavior crowd shippers, receivers, and senders, among which crowdshippers are at center attention. Given survey data collected from 2,208PT passengers Sydney metropolitan area, study constructs for task acceptance PT who...

Compared with ordinary taxis, van taxis offer higher vehicle capacity. Therefore, where possible, accommodating taxi trips by would enhance the productivity of urban transportation systems. The difficulty boarding and alighting vans could be mitigated designing limited stop services. Studying spatial pattern is a prerequisite for effective routes. In this study, an incomplete p-hub median location model in combination concordance analysis method presented to select most suitable locations...

Significant advantages of intermodal and containerized transport have increased the global interest to this mode transportation. This growing is reflected in annual volume container cargo growth. However, inside Iran does not a proper place. Comparing count containers entering leaving ports with statistics obtained from railway road maintenance organizations showed that more than 77% imports been stripped at dispatched toward their ultimate destinations outside containers. These also 81%...

The study of various countries rail transportation indicators is an appropriate criterion for evaluating the existing performance Iranian railways. experiences other can be used to improve efficiency Iran’s transportation. At beginning study, in order compare railway with railways countries, have been defined. comparison based on data from International Union Railways members 2012. around world and Middle East Central Asia show that main priorities meet needs freight are increasing number...
