de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Thoen, Sebastiaan (author)Reducing emissions caused by urban freight transportation is an increasingly important policy objective for transportation planners around the world. New and innovative ways of data collection provide new possibilities to analyze these issues. In this paper we present MASS-GT, a new multi-agent simulation system for urban goods transport. The...journal article 2022

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

Nadi Najafabadi, A. (author), Sharma, Salil (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Snelder, M. (author)This paper proposes a data-driven transport modeling framework to assess the impact of freight departure time shift policies. We develop and apply the framework around the case of the port of Rotterdam. Container transport demand data and traffic data from the surrounding network are used as inputs. The model is based on a graph convolutional...journal article 2022

Sharma, Salil (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Snelder, M. (author)This paper studies and compares the gap selection process of multiple vehicle classes (passenger cars, delivery vans, and trucks) within their discretionary lane changing activities. Given a trajectory or a sequence of gap selection decisions, we aim to predict whether a vehicle will change or keep a lane. For this purpose, we use a large...journal article 2022

A Predictive–Proactive Approach for Slot Management of a Loading Facility With Truck ETA InformationPrakoso, Emanuel Febrianto (author), Maknoon, M.Y. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Vanga, R. (author)Due to the uncertain and dynamic environment around scheduling systems, timely revisions or reschedules of the master plans are essential for achieving optimal utilization. With the recent development of Industry 4.0 technologies, many researchers perceive the creation of cyber-physical systems as a solution for managing systems under...journal article 2022

Khakdaman, M. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Factors driving the choice of shipper firms for services of logistics service providers have long been recognized in the freight transportation literature. However, the willingness among shippers to choose flexible transportation services, where the service package can be adapted during planning and execution, has received less attention. In...journal article 2022

Nikghadam, S. (author), Molkenboer, Kim F. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Rezaei, J. (author)Reliability of service times has long been a concern of many ports around the world. This paper presents an approach to mitigate delays in service times through improved information sharing in ports. The approach is based on a mapping of information sharing links and their association to the root causes of frequently occurring delays. We...journal article 2021

An upcoming paradigm for innovation in this system is that of the Physical Internet (PI). This highly advanced way of shipping will present a very different logistics environment with respective challenges for maritime ports. For those investing in or operating...journal article 2021

Le Pira, Michela (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Ignaccolo, Matteo (author), Inturri, Giuseppe (author)This paper explores the potential integration of freight transport into a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) environment. MaaS is a user-oriented service concept providing door-to-door mobility solutions for people. It integrates services of multiple providers, enabling searching, booking, and payment through a single digital platform. Although...journal article 2021

Tavasszy, Lorant (author)One of the proposed approaches to decarbonize freight transport systems is to internalize the environmental costs of transport, by means of carbon emission-based taxes. The expected impact is a reduction of transport demand and an increased use of environmentally friendly transport technologies. The magnitude of the impact will depend on the...book chapter 2021

Davydenko, Igor Y. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Quak, Hans (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...journal article 2021
