Green Freight Movement: The Dilemma of the Shifting of Road Freight to Alternatives
Transportation Research Procedia, 2017 Abstract: Today, there is a real issue of an alternative to road freight transport. This paper presents experience from Egypt during which time a mathematical procedure was developed to analyze the impact of shifting cargo movement from the road transport sector to the alternatives of water and rail. Currently in Egypt more than 90% of national cargo

Identifying intracity freight trip ends from heavy truck GPS trajectories [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Intracity heavy truck freight trips are basic data in city freight system planning and management. In the big data era, massive heavy truck GPS trajectories can be acquired cost effectively in real-time. Identifying freight trip ends (origins and destinations) from heavy truck GPS trajectories is an outstanding problem.

An electric road system or big batteries: Implications for UK road freight
Transportation Engineering, 2022 An Electric Road System (ERS)—comprising a network of overhead cables to charge Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) via a pantograph pick-up—is a cost-competitive solution to rapidly decarbonise the UK road freight sector. A major benefit over conventional battery electric HGVs is the reduction in battery capacities needed to fulfil logistics needs.

Freight Traffic Assignment Methodology for Large-Scale Road-Rail Intermodal Networks [PDF]
Transportation Research Record (2015), 2477(1), 50-57A methodology is proposed for freight traffic assignment in large-scale road-rail intermodal networks. To obtain the user-equilibrium freight flows, a path-based assignment algorithm (gradient projection) was proposed. The developed methodology was tested on the U.S.
