Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Reis, Vasco (author)Freight transport systems are facing ever-growing demand and increasingly stringent requirements. Governments are pressured to develop new policies and fund new projects that drive forward the freight transport systems. We provide an overview of typical evaluation approaches used for freight transport policies and projects, from the public...book chapter 2021

Rezaei, J. (author), Pourmohammadzia, N. (author), Dimitropoulos, Charalampos (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Duinkerken, M.B. (author)While the procurement decision is generally made by individual buyers, this study investigates how a group of buyers can make a shared decision. We call this collaborative approach, co-procurement. A mathematical model is formulated for the decision of procurement from multiple suppliers. The model is solved for individual buyers. The outcome...journal article 2020

Lin, X. (author), Nishiki, Yoshinari (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdshipping systems are receiving increasing attention in both industry and academia. Different aspects of crowdshipping (summarized as platform, supply, and demand) are investigated in research. To date, the mutual influence of crowdshipping platform design and its supply side (with participating crowdshippers) has not yet been thoroughly...journal article 2020

Onstein, A.T.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Rezaei, J. (author), van Damme, Dick A. (author), Heitz, Adeline (author)This paper studies the factors that drive distribution structure design (DSD), which includes the spatial layout of distribution channels and location choice of logistics facilities. We build on a generic framework from existing literature, which we validate and elaborate using interviews among industry practitioners. Empirical evidence was...journal article 2020

Li, L. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), Guo, Jingwei (author), Tang, Yinying (author), Peng, Qiyuan (author)China Railway Express (CRE) is one of the most important constituent parts of the Belt and Road Initiative. Freight demand analysis is fundamental as a basis for the operational strategy of CRE and the investment policy along the CRE-routes. Most of the existing relevant literature has focused on the organization of the train operations of...journal article 2020

Thoen, Sebastiaan (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), van Duin, Ron (author)An increasing amount of research is dedicated to the consideration of tour formation in freight transportation demand models. While empirical tour formation models so far have been starting from limiting assumptions about the resulting trips, we develop a generalized shipment-based model. We formulate a random utility model embedded in an...journal article 2020

de Bok, M.A. (author), Bal, Ivar (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Tillema, Taede (author)In this paper we explore the possible impacts of a distance- and emission-class based truck charge in The Netherlands. Earlier studies suggest that shifts may occur towards heavy vehicles, due to the relative inefficiency of lighter vehicles types. However, these studies have not taken into account the effects of changes in shipment size, as...journal article 2020

Bombelli, A. (author), Santos, Bruno F. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)In this paper, we present a complex network analysis of the air transport network using the air cargo, instead of the passenger, perspective. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work where a global cargo network comprising passenger airlines, full-cargo airlines, and integrators’ capacity was studied. We used estimated yearly cargo...journal article 2020

Zhang, Z. (author), Zhang, Dezhi (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Li, Qinglin (author)In this study, we demonstrate the importance of incorporating shippers’ preference heterogeneity into the optimization of the China Railway express network. In particular, a bilevel programming model is established to minimize the total construction cost for the government in the upper level and maximize the shippers’ satisfaction in the...journal article 2020

Nadi Najafabadi, A. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Snelder, M. (author)Scheduling and Routing in freight transport are usually the end products of an optimization process. However, the results may differ due to the heterogeneity of rules in different transport markets. Since the understanding of these decision rules is important for disaggregate freight modeling, this paper investigates the development of an...conference paper 2020

Kourounioti, I. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The development of new more efficient freight transportation services requires in depth understanding of the engaged stakeholders behavior. Simulation Games (SG) have been used to study decisions and raise awareness over complex transport problems. This paper investigates the possibility of applying a simulation game as an innovative data...conference paper 2020

Thoen, S. (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)In this paper we present a methodology to more accurately calculate emissions in regional freight transportation models by taking the loading rate of vehicles into account in the emission factors. This is done by incorporating the shipment-based demand data from a multi-agent simulation framework into the route assignment. In a case study we...conference paper 2020

Khakdaman, M. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)This paper investigates the willingness of shippers to delegate control over the transportation mode in freight transportation, using discrete choice analysis. Data originate from a large survey among global shippers. The results show that, under certain conditions, most shippers are willing to hand over mode selection authority to the...journal article 2020

Sharma, Salil (author), Snelder, M. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (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...journal article 2020

Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Logistics processes underlying freight transport are changing rapidly, driven by progress in information technology and an unparalleled growth of consumer involvement in supply chains. This development is also driving change in freight transport flows, by all modes of transport. We argue that an understanding of logistics innovations is a...journal article 2020

Nadi Najafabadi, A. (author), Sharma, Salil (author), Snelder, M. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)In gateway seaports, like the port of Rotterdam, a substantial proportion of all freight movements is related to trips to hinterland markets. Accordingly, outbound truck flows from port areas, especially in traffic rush-hours, may degrade the level of service on truck-dominated motorways or increase the unreliability of freight transport...conference paper 2019
