Liao, X. (author), Saeednia, M. (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Large-scale electrification of heavy-duty road freight faces challenges including scarcity of charging infrastructure and high battery costs. Dynamic charging could help overcome these challenges by enabling trucks to charge while driving. Important additional benefits for carriers related to lower required sizes and longer lifetimes of...journal article 2024

Wang, S. (author), Zhu, Xiaoning (author), Shang, Pan (author), Lin, X. (author), Yang, Liya (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The considerable increase in parcel deliveries has negatively impacted the accessibility and livability of cities. One solution strategy is to decouple short-distance from long-distance shipping so that last-mile transport can be performed with low-footprint vehicles. Such solutions are referred to in the literature as multi-echelon...journal article 2024

Nikghadam, Shahrzad (author), Vanga, R. (author), Rezaei, J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)As ports are experiencing heavier traffic, the pressure to improve port call processes is increasing. Port call optimization (PCO) is one of these improvement initiatives, enabling the arrival of vessels to the port just-in-time when the vessel services, like pilotage, towage, and mooring, are all readily available. Otherwise, vessels that...journal article 2024

Tapia, Rodrigo Javier (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

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), Nadi Najafabadi, A. (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdsourced shipping or crowdshipping is a promising contender for sustainable parcel delivery services due to the potential to consolidate freight trips with pre-existing passenger trips. However, the opportunity for private persons to act as occasional carrier can also generate new trips, which could then increase traffic volumes. Previous...poster 2023

Cebeci, M.S. (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The growth of e-commerce and omnichannel retailing has led to significant changes in urban logistics deliveries. In addition to the traditional delivery channels, new solutions have been introduced, such as click-and-collect, parcel locker delivery, crowdshipping, and on-site delivery. However, such solutions require seamless connections between...journal article 2023

Reda, Abel Kebede (author), Holguin-Veras, Jose (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Gebresenbet, Girma (author), Ljungberg, David (author)The choice of shipment size is a vital decision in logistics and has a strong indirect influence on freight transport demand, via the choice of mode and truck type choice. Through time, shipment sizes can change as a result of new decisions in the logistics process or due to conditions external to the supply chain. This study investigates the...journal article 2023

Tavasszy, Lorant (author), de Bok, M.A. (author)This chapter introduces the topic of freight transport modelling in the urban context. Urban freight transport is typical in several aspects: the defragmentation of product flows, the use of modes, and the commodity mix. Freight traffic is also in competition for space with other traffic and users of the urban environment. Real-world...book chapter 2023
