Arntz, E.M. (author), van Duin, Ron (author), van Binsbergen, A.J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Klein, T. (author)Introduction: Autonomous delivery robots are a promising alternative for last-mile delivery. To realise successful implementation of delivery robots in public spaces, it is important to study the interaction between robots and the traffic environment. The traffic environment includes the physical infrastructure and the objects using it like cars...journal article 2023

Tapia, R.J. (author), Kourounioti, I. (author), Thoen, Sebastian (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdshipping (CS) is an emerging form of freight transport that is expected to reduce the externalities of urban freight transport. The supply of CS services originates from people with an intention to travel, who can choose to engage in a parcel delivery service as incidental carrier. The popular expectation is that this consolidation of...journal article 2023

Nurhayati, K. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Joint decision-making is one of the coordination mechanisms to address the inherent complexity of business-to-business (B2B) processes within a supply chain. Joint decision-making can be helpful to define shared goals and objectives, identify supply chain failures and opportunities, and consolidate supply chain success. Parties may benefit...journal article 2023

Fahim, P.B.M. (author), Mientjes, Gerjan (author), Rezaei, J. (author), van Binsbergen, A.J. (author), Montreuil, Benoit (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The Physical Internet (PI) is a paradigm-changing and technology-driven vision, which is expected to significantly impact the development of the freight transport and logistics (FTL) system of today. However, the development of the FTL system towards the PI creates much uncertainty for its current stakeholders. Ports are one of those...journal article 2023

Nassar, Raphael Ferrari (author), Ghisolfi, Verônica (author), Annema, J.A. (author), van Binsbergen, A.J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The decarbonization of freight transport is currently a big challenge to tackle. One way of decarbonizing the sector is the modal shift towards the least polluting transport modes. This research aims to shed light on modal shift time dynamics in developing economies and considers whether a System Dynamics approach can assist with the policy...journal article 2023

Cebeci, M.S. (author), Tapia, Rodrigo Javier (author), Kroesen, M. (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The fast growth of e-commerce in urban areas has led to a surge in last-mile transportation demand and an associated increase of external effects: congestion, noise and visual pollution. This paper analyses a new urban freight transport service that has a potential to reduce this footprint: crowdshipping. Crowdshipping is a service where a...journal article 2023

Nikghadam, S. (author), Vanga, R. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Cooperation between vessel service providers can improve the performance of ports. However, the potential impact of such cooperation has not yet been quantitatively addressed in the literature. We present an assessment using a port simulation model where the exchange of information has been made explicit. Cooperation is modelled as information...journal article 2023

Reda, Abel Kebede (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Gebresenbet, Girma (author), Ljungberg, David (author)This paper investigates the effect of spatial and locational characteristics of establishments on freight (trip) attraction (FA/FTA) models. The authors estimated econometric models of FA and FTA as a function of the establishment attributes as well as the spatial and locational determinant variables, using establishment-level data collected...journal article 2023

Yang, Lijuan (author), Lin, X. (author), Li, Eldon Y. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Transshipment can be a detour for carriers to bypass congested locks. Therefore, the local government provides subsidies to carriers reluctant to adopt transshipment due to high costs. Using the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) as the subject, we address the interaction between the government and carriers and the rational routine choice for carriers...journal article 2023

Mohammed, R.A. (author), Nadi Najafabadi, A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), de Bok, M.A. (author)Understanding the logistic determinants of freight trips is an important goal in freight transport modeling. Freight shipments move between nodes in the supply chain for different logistic purposes, including production, storage, transshipment, and consumption. A key problem with data availability is that databases generally do not identify...journal article 2023

Wicaksono, Satrio (author), Lin, X. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdshipping has recently emerged as a sustainable option for urban parcel delivery, where transport tasks are carried out by regular citizens who are engaged in a passenger trip, instead of the usual professional carriers. A key challenge for such as service offering is to maintain a sustainable network of customers (demand) and couriers ...journal article 2022

Lin, X. (author), Leclercq, L. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)We introduce an approach to formulate and solve the multi-class user equilibrium traffic assignment as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem. Compared to simulation approaches, the analytical MILP formulation makes the solution of network assignment problems more tractable. When applied in a multi-class context, it obviates the...journal article 2022
