Facing climate change, The European Union has set ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Within Europe, heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and therefore plays a central role in achieving the climate targets. A potential...

In diesem Working Paper wird ein möglicher Tankstellenaufbau für schwere Brennstoffzellen-Lkw (BZ-Lkw) in Deutschland bis 2050 auf Basis eines wissenschaftlichen Simulationsmodells skizziert. Bestehende oder sich im Aufbau befindliche Wasserstoff(H2)-Tankstellen für Pkw können nicht oder nur...

Nennenswerte Teile des schweren Güterverkehrs auf baden-württembergischen Straßen sind grenzüberschreitend. Gegenstand dieses Workingpapers ist daher eine Diskussion der Schnittstellen zum angrenzenden Ausland (insbesondere Frankreich, Schweiz, Österreich) in Bezug auf Oberleitungs-Lkw und...

This paper presents a pragmatic approach to calculating the total economic loss induced by a cartel, focusing on the European trucks cartel (1997–2011). This comprehensible and transparent approach builds on the theory of monopoly pricing and uses the publicly available data of the infringing...

Der vorhandene Parkraum für LKW an Bundesautobahnen deckt derzeit nicht den tatsächlichen Bedarf. Um die Kapazität von Parkanlagen zu erhöhen, kommen neben dem konventionellen Neu-, Um- oder Ausbau von Rastanlagen auch telematische Systeme in Betracht. Das Ziel dieser Publikation ist die...

We present a pragmatic approach to calculating the total economic loss induced by a cartel, focusing on the European trucks cartel (1997-2011). Overall, we estimate a net welfare loss of approximately €0.7 bn. and an overcharge below 1% (€1.8 bn.). The cartel overcharge is surprisingly low....

The US trucking industry trade press often portrays the US labor market for truck drivers as not working, citing persistent driver shortages and high levels of firm‐level turnover, and predicting significant resulting constraints on the supply of motor freight services. We investigate the...

While there is increasing information on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety systems, truck automation, and truck platooning, there is less information on how roadway and infrastructure technology can improve truck safety, mobility, and efficiency using these technologies. Intelligent...

Heavy commercial vehicle technology for safety has developed in capability and application and is having a positive impact on truck safety. And the potential for further safety improvements is exciting. We wish to place the evolution of such technology in perspective with related developments...

On-board commercial vehicle safety technologies present new opportunities for management and logistics in the road transport industry. As with many emerging technologies, the link to opportunity beyond the designed purpose of a particular technology is not fully realised until after...

Combining weekly productivity data with weekly productivity beliefs for a large sample of truckers over two years, we show that workers tend to systematically and persistently over-predict their productivity. If workers are overconfident about their own productivity at the current firm relative...

The presence of a heavy truck on the road can impose an externality if accidents occur that would not have otherwise. We find each additional truck on the road increases the risk of a truck accident – but also, at an even higher rate, the risk of a car-on-car collision. Our estimates imply two...

Everyone has an opinion on how to solve the terrible traffic plaguing Manila every hour of every day. Many people blamed the behemoth cargo trucks plying the roads everyday, inconveniencing thousands of commuters and car drivers by taking up too much space. People across the metropolis rejoiced...

In East Africa, there have been numerous concerns over logistics efficiency. Among them, the regional integration of the trucking industry is perceived as a major problem. This paper utilizes a combination of unpublished data surveys and published data (mainly port data) to assess the extent of...

Cross-docking is a logistic concept, which plays an important role in supply chain management by decreasing inventory holding, order packing, transportation costs and delivery time. Paying attention to these concerns, and importance of the congestion in cross docks, we present a mixed-integer...

The Port of Manila, the largest seaport in the country, has been recognized as the most widely used port in the Greater Capital Region with utilization rate of 71.6% compared to only 2.3% and 6.1% utilization of Batangas and Subic Ports, respectively (NEDA, 2012). The ports of Batangas and Subic...

Der Autor zeigt anhand eines mathematischen Modells und eines heuristischen Lösungsverfahrens, dass es im Komplettladungsverkehr durch den Aufbau bereits weniger zusätzlicher Unternehmensstandorte für einen Ladungstausch gelingen kann, die Anzahl auswärtiger Übernachtungen des Fahrpersonals...
