  2. 1. Improving energy efficiency in logistics systems: On the road to environmental sustainability

    Author : Jessica Wehner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road freight transport; service modularity; service logic; logistics fulfilment; Capacity utilisation; point of consumption; first mile; service blueprint; household waste; distribution structure; system levels; systems perspective; value co-creation; last mile;

    Abstract : Logistics are essential to efficiently managing the flow of materials and products between various nodes that operate in multiple systems. In that process, the activities of moving and storing materials and products, especially through road freight transport, consume significant energy resources and emit greenhouse gases that harm the environment.

  5. 3. Enriching Automated Travel Diaries Using Biometric Information

    Author : Robin C. O. Palmberg; Yusak O. Susilo; Gyözö Gidofalvi; Clas Rydergren; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : The methods for collecting travel data about travellers today incorporate either fully manual or semi-automatic elements, which makes the methods susceptible to errors. The travellers might respond subjectively rather than objectively or even wholly incorrect, albeit with or without purpose. READ MORE

  6. 4. Enhancing aftermarket demand planning with product-in-use data

    Author : Joakim Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Big data; Digitalization; Product-in-use.; Forecasting; Demand planning; Aftermarket;

    Abstract : Enhancing aftermarket demand planning with product-in-use data ABSTRACT Aftermarket demand planning, consisting of forecast and known demand, is a critical activity for both the uptime of customers’ products and the supply chain-related costs. Traditional aftermarket forecasting methods use historical demand as the only input to the statistically based forecasts, usually combined with judgmental modifications. READ MORE

  7. 5. Energy efficiency improvements in logistics as a means to environmental sustainability: The case of capacity utilisation in road freight transportation

    Author : Jessica Wehner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Capacity utilisation; household logistics capability; system levels; distribution structure; logistics system; energy efficiency; last-mile fulfilment; overcapacity; system boundaries; road freight transportation;

    Abstract : The energy consumption in logistics, and especially in road freight transportation, is steadily increasing and with that the greenhouse gas emissions which have a negative impact on the environment. In order to improve environmental sustainability of logistics, a change in the actors’ behaviour and policies is needed since the development of technology alone is not sufficient. READ MORE
