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

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 solution to sustainable parcel delivery, owing to the potential to consolidate freight trips with preexisting passenger trips. Previous literature focuses on these consolidation benefits but does not address the possibility of new activity generation in crowdshipping. In this study, we...journal article 2023

Nadi Najafabadi, A. (author), Yorke-Smith, N. (author), Snelder, M. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Understanding preferences and behaviours in road freight transport is valuable for planning and analysis. This paper proposes a data-driven vehicle routing and scheduling approach for use as a descriptive tool to study road freight transport activities. The model developed seeks to capture planners’ or drivers’ preferences in order to...journal article 2023

Pani, Agnivesh (author), Sahu, Prasanta K. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Mishra, Sabya (author)Trip-based models and activity-based models represent two extreme ends of the spectrum of travel demand models in data granularity requirement and ability to reflect the underlying motivation to travel. Modelling of representative freight activity-travel patterns (RFAPs) has the potential to serve as the bridge between these approaches. RFAP...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

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

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

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

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

Sharma, Salil (author), Papamichail, Ioannis (author), Nadi Najafabadi, A. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Snelder, M. (author)Cooperative intelligent transportation systems (C-ITS) support the exchange of information between vehicles and infrastructure (V2I or I2V). This paper presents an in-vehicle C-ITS application to improve traffic efficiency around a merging section. The application balances the distribution of traffic over the available lanes of a freeway, by...journal article 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

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

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, 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

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

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

van Duin, Ron (author), Wiegmans, B. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Hendriks, Birgit (author), He, Yunzhu (author)Five years ago the project Cargo Hitching started with the goal to use the unused capacity of public transport passenger vehicles for freight and parcel transport. Like many new city logistics initiatives it is a difficult challenge to setup a profitable private business model. A rural pilot project was developed in the East of the Netherlands,...journal article 2019

Thoen, Sebastiaan (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), van Duin, Ron (author), de Bok, M.A. (author)Tourformatie is kenmerkend aan goederenwegvervoer, niet zelden worden meerdere zendingen in een rit vervoerd. Toch wordt dit aspect vaak over het hoofd gezien in goederenvervoermodellen. Wanneer tourformatie wel wordt toegepast, dan worden vaak geen zendingen gemodelleerd, is het modelgedrag niet gebaseerd op empirische data, of wordt slechts...conference paper 2018
