Bivariate Long Term Fuzzy Time Series Forecasting of Dry Cargo Freight Rates

This paper proposes a bivariate long term fuzzy inference system for time series forecasting task in the field of freight market. Fuzzy time series methods are applied by many scholars and it is broadly accepted pattern recognition and forecasting tool. Previous studies mainly establish algorithms for high frequency time series data such as daily and monthly intervals. The proposed model perfor…

Inland Waterway Freight Transport in the UK

Inland waterways play a much greater role in inland freight carrying in the United Kingdom than is generally realised. The purpose of this article is to show the extent of the underestimation of water transport and to outline the potential for future development and the problems which will have to be overcome to realise that potential.

Transport integration tools for supply chain management

Over the last 3 years, research carried out by Cardiff University has studied the opportunities to integrate freight transport better into supply chains. The paper stems from this work. After asserting the principal reasons why better transport integration is important, it charts a range of diagnostic tools that were deployed. The tools represent a menu of instruments that aim to aid understand…

Ninety percent of everything : inside shipping, the invisible industry that p…

On ship-tracking Web sites, the waters are black with dots. Each dot is a ship; each ship is laden with boxes; each box is laden with goods. In postindustrial economies, we no longer produce but buy, and so we must ship. Without shipping there would be no clothes, food, paper, or fuel. Without all those dots, the world would not work. Yet freight shipping is all but invisible. Away from publ…

Inaccuracy in traffic forecasts: lying or strategizing? A contextualist analy…

The purpose of this paper is to look into the fate of a troubled initiative in Hong Kong that was developed in the midst of discussions between Beijing and London leading towards the 1997 handover. It sets out to shred new light on the “forecasting gap”: the gap between the anticipated level of traffic and the real volume of traffic in the years following the opening of a new infrastructure

U.S. import/export container flow modeling and disruption analysis

International containerized freight movement is a vital part of the supply chain for many companies, anda critical element of moving consumer goods to points of retail sale within the U.S. Containerized imports also present a clear security concern (e.g., terrorists attempting to ship “dirty bombs,” chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons, into the U.S. in a shipping container). The go…

Optimal pricing and terminal location for a rail–truck intermodal service �…

To be competitive with other modes of transport, railways need to be cost-effective. In order to become more competitive in the logistics sector, Indian Railways has taken new initiatives to improve their operations in recent years. A rail–truck intermodal transportation service for Indian Railways is described in this paper. The main focus of the research presented in this paper is on the jo…

The paper outlines the results of research aimed at developing an efficient simulation modelling capability for seaports and inland freight terminals. By providing the domain-oriented process of simulation modelling with a uniform and coherent methodological basis and integrating it with artificial intelligence concepts, it was possible to construct a powerful tool-TRANSNODE. This is a decision…

Long Term Freight Market Index and Inferences

This paper proposes to establish a long term shipping freight index for dry cargo transportation and investigates its particulars among the cyclic fluctuations. Many scholars investigated dry cargo shipping markets and some of them attempted to construct a composite index of freight rates. Although, several critiques are indicated about the method of composition, these indices depicted long ter…

Intermodal Rail Freight in Britain: A Terminal Problem?

Rail has increased its share of the British freight market in the past decade. One particular growth market has been intermodal traffic, where consignments are carried in unit loads (i.e. containers and swap bodies): these accounted for one-fifth of rail freight volumes in 2006/07. In this paper, the key trends are identified, considering both port and domestic services. A critical component of…

Freight Transport Deceleration: Its Possible Contribution to the Decarbonisat…

The paper challenges the conventional view that the movement of goods through supply chains must continue to accelerate. The compression of freight transit times has been one of the most enduring logistics trends but may not be compatible with governmental climate change policies to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60–80% by 2050. Opportunities for cutting CO2 emissions by ‘despeeding’ are…

The global freight distribution system has been impacted by convergence in terms of technology, infrastructure, modes and terminals. Still, in spite of strong converging forces, it can be argued that logistical practices are far from being uniform. This paper analyses the regionalism in freight transport systems by providing a comparative analysis of gateway logistics practices in North America…

This study draws Pareto optimal solutions that can simultaneousl…

An analysis of freight rate volatility in dry bulk shipping markets

The world bulk shipping market has been in a peak period since 2003, and this has lasted an incredibly long time considering that the markets are much more complex than before. This paper investigates the characteristics of volatility in dry bulk freight rates of different vessel sizes (capesize, panamax and handysize). The daily returns of freight rate indices of three different types of bulk …

UK Inland Waterway Freight Carrying — Decline and Resurgence

Inland waterways were the first form of mass inland transport to be developed in the UK. In medieval times, rivers formed the main transport arteries of the interior of the country. The only alternative for the movement of goods in substantial quantities was sea transport. Roads were in a rudimentary state and, except over short distances, costs were high.

The Relationship between Economic Activity and Freight Transport

In his book of 1979, Marvin Manheim put the interrelationship between the transportation system of a region and the socioeconomic system at the heart of transportation systems analysis: ‘The transportation system of a region is tightly interrelated with the socioeconomic system. y This interrelationship is fundamental to our view of transportation systems analysis’ (Manheim, 1979, p. 12).

Estimating an origin–destination table for US imports of waterborne contain…

Containerized freight imports into the US are growing at an average of 10% per year. This traffic is concentrated at a small number of US seaports. It is therefore important to have an accurate understanding of the flow of containers from their origin country through these seaports to their final destination. This paper develops an optimization model to estimate route flows and a corresponding …

Container freight rates and the role of surcharges

This paper demonstrates that the structure of ocean container freight rates has become more complex. A growing number of surcharges are being imposed by the carriers on their customers, surcharges that are not only adding significant extra costs but are highly variable over time. These elements are examined based on a data set on export rates from ports on the Northern European Range that have …

Container freight rates and economic distance: a new perspective on the world…

The objective of this paper is to explore how container freight rates vary globally and regionally and over time. This is achieved in part by considering freight rates as a measure of economic distance. Unlike absolute distance, which is invariant between locations, economic distance is a relative measure, but like absolute distance it can be mapped. In this paper, the geographical distribution…

Modelling the impacts of ICT adoption for inter-modal transportation

The impact of transportation on the supplier selection has received very scant attention in the literature. This is a great limitation because splitting orders across multiple suppliers will lead to smaller transportation quantities which will likely imply larger transportation cost. Moreover, transportation and inventory elements are highly interrelated and contribute most to the total logisti…
