Real driving cycles and emissions for urban freight transport. [PDF]

Front Big Data
This paper aims to evaluate the driving style effects, through the construction of driving cycles, on the polluting gases, in the context of urban freight transportation. For this, the method used was the construction of cycles through the Vehicle Specific Power (VSP) parameter, which considers instantaneous vehicle and road parameters better to ...

Efficient Transport Logistics : An Approach for Urban Freight Transport in Austria [PDF]

2020 15th Iberian Conference on Information Systems and Technologies (CISTI), 2020
To alleviate traffic congestion that results from the growth of e-commerce we propose an approach in the city of Linz, Austria by relying on shared distribution centers from different companies. We develop two algorithms to find out the optimal location for the hubs and calculate the shortest path between locations.
