  2. 1. Security in Physical Distribution Networks - A Survey Study of Swedish Transport Operators

    Author : Luca Urciuoli; Teknisk logistik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; antagonistic threats.; supply chain security; cargo security; physical distribution security; transportation security; cargo theft; Quantitative Risk Assessment;

    Abstract : The objective of this study is to understand what factors influence the security of physical distribution networks. Thereafter it aims to bring to light what security measures exist today to enhance security and finally how to determine the profitability of security investments. READ MORE

  4. 2. Role of a dry port stakeholder network in intermodal transportation

    Author : Alena Khaslavskaya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; dry port; coopetition activities; dry port characteristics; Dry port concept; stakeholder network; intermodal transportation; stakeholder objectives; intermodal transportation challenges;

    Abstract : The concept of a dry port, which emerged from intermodal transportation research approximately 20 years ago, has gained popularity due to its financial benefits and positive environmental impact. The core idea behind the dry port concept is the establishment of high-capacity intermodal transportation in the seaport’s hinterland. READ MORE
