How effective is the introduction of freight distribution time windows in reducing congestion, externalities and transport costs? The case of Barcelona

The surge in online purchases coupled with rapid home delivery has exerted a detrimental impact on cities. Municipal authorities are now endeavouring to implement measures to mitigate the externalities stemming from this activity. Some cities suggest steering clear of peak hours for last-mile delivery, while others restrict loading and unloading operations on streets to specific time slots. This study evaluates the alteration in transportation costs for logistics companies, as well as shifts in congestion and exhaust emissions resulting from the prohibition of delivery vehicles during designated time frames. The methodology outlined herein is employed for the case study of Barcelona.

Predicting Future Demand Analysis in the Logistics Sector Using Machine Learning Methods

In this study, the potential of machine learning methods for analyzing future needs in the logistics sector was investigated. The research is conducted using the MATLAB platform. Numeric pallet demand data obtained from a logistics company are employed to train MLP, LSTM, and CNN models. Data security and confidentiality take priority during the data collection process. This dataset, comprising a total of 3,062 daily records, serves as the primary data source for the study. In the data preprocessing phase, missing or erroneous data is rectified, and outliers are detected and corrected. The models are tested to predict pallet quantities over periods of 25 days and 4 weeks. The results are evaluated by comparing the model predictions with actual data. Model performances are assessed using metrics such as MSE, RMSE, NRMSE, MAE, ESD, and RC. The outcomes of the last 25 days demonstrate that the LSTM model exhibits the lowest MSE (6,410.5571) and RMSE (80.0660) values. For the MLP model, the MSE value is calculated as 20,536.5564, and the RMSE value is 143.3058. Performance evaluations for the CNN model yield an MSE of 8,492.4297 and an RMSE of 92.1544. Furthermore, it is observed that the MLP model provides the best results for the 4-week forecasts. The results of this study indicate the success of the models used for predicting pallet transportation quantities in the logistics sector. In addition to this study, a contribution is made toward enabling logistics companies to make more informed and strategic decisions.

4IR 시대의 식품 콜드체인 3PL 서비스품질과 공급체인 성과에 관한 실증연구

Recently, the cold chain market in the food industry has been rapidly advancing with the application of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as Big Data, IoT, RFID, enhancing both information technology and logistics systems. Consequently, in the support of food cold chain systems, physical quality and logistics information quality have improved during the distribution and logistics processes. Therefore, there is a need for distribution and logistics companies to derive and examine service quality factors that impact relationship maintenance and performance in the supply chain management process with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food industry during the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. This study aims to identify the cold chain service quality factors of third-party logistics (3PL) companies based on expert in-depth interviews and a three-dimensional service quality model. Additionally, it seeks to understand the influence of relationship orientation in Korean food SMEs on supply chain performance. To achieve this, a systematic survey was conducted through preliminary investigations, distributing structured questionnaires, and collecting a total of 240 responses, excluding 9 unreliable responses, for empirical analysis. The collected survey data were analyzed using SPSS version 28.0 for frequency analysis to understand the general characteristics of respondents. Furthermore, Smart PLS version 4.0 was employed to test the internal consistency reliability, concentration, and discriminant validity of the measurement model. After evaluating the structural model, hypotheses were verified. The results of the analysis indicate that all three-dimensional service quality factors of cold chain services provided by 3PL companies (data processing expertise, digital-based customer responsiveness, and smart logistics information accuracy) positively influence relationship orientation. Additionally, the relationship orientation of food SMEs toward 3PL companies was confirmed to have a positive impact on supply chain performance. Therefore, the significance of this study lies in providing service quality factors for distribution and logistics companies to maintain relationships with food SMEs in South Korea and confirming the causal relationships affecting supply chain performance.
