Smart transportation is one aspect of the smart city. Because the low efficiency, the transportation has became the second largest industry of carbon emissions. It's not only affect the smart transportation, but also affect the smart environment. So, improve the efficiency of the transportation is very important to the smart transportation and smart city. The logistics platform is a new business model,...
A consortium consisting of five Hungarian institutions of higher education during the past two years, using European Union's support performed workout of a project that connected to development of industrial relations, to education development, to expansion of research cooperation, of international relations and to development of university organisation services on the territory of vehicle industry...
Enlightened by the fact that certain passenger buses could deliver small items by imposing some fees for clients, and there exists possible integration of the passenger-transport expressway networks and logistics, we aim to study how to transfer the delivery of simple and small items to logistics distribution of special items by using expressways if we take time-efficient special items as the research...
Due to Thailand's strategic geographical location at the center of Mainland ASEAN, several prospects of Thailand becoming the logistics hub of ASEAN in the realization of ASEAN Economic Integration in 2015 have been broadly discussed. Both Thai government and private sectors have been very active in promoting Thailand to be the logistics hub of ASEAN. In Thailand, Road freight transport is the dominant...
Provides a novel hybrid ant colony algorithm combining genetic algorithm with implicit parallel function to make up the shortcomings of common ant colony alogrithm in the vehicle routing problem including slow convergence in the early stages. Introducing the encoding and mutation operation can improve the efficiency of solving the optimal distribution path. The comparative analysis of vehicle routing...
Freight movement by truck is the common mode in freight distribution due to its flexibility and cheap prices. However, the importance of freight movement by trucks is often not fully understood. This paper thus seeks examines the factors threatening freight movement by trucks that influence the delivery effectiveness. The prescription in this paper is based on the syntheses of critical analyses of...
The planning of a good logistics village is very significant for the new era of logistics industry, it play a major role in the transportation and distribution of goods effectively. Efforts were put to understand the characteristics of a comprehensive logistics village planning by referring to Malaysia Environment. Result from the analysis showed that there are differences in planning a logistics...
The coal industry is the most important economic pillar in Shanxi province, China. As an important part in the coal industry, while it promoted the rapid development of the economy in Shanxi, but also a lot of negative impact on the environment in Shanxi. This paper based on the theory of green logistics, and proposed analysis and evaluation of the status quo of the Shanxi coal logistics.
The paper uses input-output method to analyze the energy consumption efficiency of Logistics industry. At first, an input-output model was made by introducing energy consumption. Then, the energy consumption efficiency of Logistics industry in China was analyzed using this model. The results show that direct consumption efficiency and total consumption efficiency are on the low side in all the sectors;...
This paper introduces RFID technology and the importance of applying RFID technology in the automobile parts logistics. It also discusses the composition of automobile parts logistics management and implementation. It indicates that although RFID technology is relatively high compared with the cost of bar code technology, but RFID technology will has a bright future in the automotive industry because...
Abstract-Linking the tobacco manufacturers and the end retail consumers, cigarette distribution does not only represent the service level of logistics, but also concerns the overall operation efficiency of an enterprise. However, problems such as poor management and high cost of distribution still exist and need to be solved urgently. Therefore, cigarette distribution centers must gradually promote...
Cooperating with China Materials Storage & Transportation Association, Modern Logistics Study Center of Zhejiang Gongs hang University examined the current status of storage, transportation and logistics industries, with a magnitude covering logistics and storage companies in different cities in Zhejiang, China. The object is to fully comprehend the scale, geographical layout and development level...
The urban public logistics information platform will integrate various logistics resources of the city effectively, improve the logistics operation efficiency, and reduce the cost, enhance the integral competitiveness, and thus further advance the integral function and benefit of the logistics system. The paper has analyzed the demand characteristics, main types and contents of the urban public logistics...
The industrial systems are recently leaning towards every possible means of automation for enhanced accuracy and better time management. But in case of developing countries like Bangladesh, the development of such sophisticated systems is not always cost effective for the manufacturers. Keeping this idea in mind, an initiative was taken to design and fabricate a low cost group of robotic guided vehicles...
The analysis of traditional road logistics mode and existing problems in constructing information platform have brought about the design method of building a national road logistics information platform. With the Internet as the main vector, and combined with computers, communications and positioning technologies, this SMS-system based platform was finally established. It is comprised with four parts...
The demand for logistics becomes larger and larger with the rapid economic development of Beijing, and city distribution has become a necessary method of supporting the regular running and economic development and an important function of logistics system. Deeply research for the correlation of city distribution capability and socio-economic development will be of great importance for encouraging...
Over the last years Just-In-Sequence (JIS), i.e. a supplement to Just-In-Time by providing supplied parts in the right sequence, has become increasingly important. Even though a stable sequence is crucial to the implementation of a JIS process it can happen that a scheduled workpiece needs to be removed from the sequence, e.g. because of missing parts. Since a so-altered sequence might have a worse...
Transportation will be increasingly vital in China as the nation's economy continues to change from a planned, centralized system to one that is market-based and decentralized. In this paper, we propose a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach to evaluate Transportation System Efficiency (TSE) for 31 major regions (including 23 provinces, 4 municipalities and 4 autonomous regions) in China. This...
Responsiveness is one of the key factors for the success of build-to-order (BTO) strategy. This paper aims to analyze the responsiveness of order fulfillment of BTO strategy in the Chinese automotive industry. Using the data collected at five Chinese automotive manufacturers, we find that the optimization of order processing is the key point to shorten the total OTD time. In addition, we obtained...
