Bij het inrichten van nieuwe en bestaande warehouses wordt in steeds grotere mate digitalisering en robotisering toegepast. Diverse onderzoeken zijn reeds uitgevoerd naar de impact op de banen van de toekomst in de logistiek door de digitalisering en robotisering, hierbij wordt echter niet ingegaan op de veranderende skills van medewerkers op versc...

Het delen van ongebruikte en/of onderbenutte middelen kan nieuwe verbeteringen opleveren in de logistieke waardeketen. In vijf sectoren van het stedelijk goederenvervoer, te weten stadslogistiek, bouwlogistiek, transport & warehousing (retaillogistiek), zorglogistiek en servicelogistiek, worden concepten voor het delen van diensten bestudeerd voor...

Many new logistics initiatives arise based on the principles of resource sharing through crowdsourcing. Sharing unused and/or underused resources can deliver new efficiencies in the logistics value chain in an industry where efficiency is the name of the game. The benefits of applying sharing economy concepts in logistics in terms of higher efficie...

In deze bijdrage worden drie casestudies gepresenteerd waarin gebruik is gemaakt van het algemene framework van DHL (Gesing, 2017) voor het implementeren van concepten uit de deeleconomie in de logistiek. We hebben het framework vertaald voor gebruik in de servicelogistiek en daarna toegepast op de casestudies. Met behulp van het aangepaste framewo...

The population growth and urbanization, the explosion of e-commerce, and the proliferation of fast delivery options, require innovative solutions and business models to ensure cost-effective, but also environmentally and socially friendly, transportation of goods. Within the logistics industry the sharing economy is considered to be one of most pro...

Container port competitiveness is generally conceptualized as being driven by straightforward criteria, such as port costs, handling efficiency, hinterland connectivity, and the quality of infrastructure and services. Synchromodal freight transport service is an emerging and developing concept of freight transport operations, as shippers and carrie...

Train delays are not only frustrating for passengers, they also cost a lot of money. In 2015, some 14 million hours were lost due to delays of passenger trains in the Netherlands. The cost associated with this loss were more than € 145 million, which is a low estimate, as only the actual cost of the longer travel time due to delays had been include...

In this paper we describe how we included travel time variability in the national Dutch transport forecasting model and what the policy impacts of this new forecasting tool are. Until now, travel time reliability improvements for road projects were included in Dutch cost-benefit analysis (CBA) by multiplying the travel time benefits from reduced co...

Onderzoek laat zien dat zowel woon-werk als zakelijke reizigers de reistijd in het openbaar vervoer gebruiken als werktijd, en als tijd om te ontspannen en genieten van de reis. Het openbaar vervoer en, zodra de zelfrijdende auto op de markt komt, de auto bieden een groot potentieel aan maatschappelijke baten in de vorm van productief en aangenaam...

Abstract. In this paper we describe how we included travel time variability in the national Dutch transport forecasting model and what the policy impacts of this new forecasting tool are. Until now, travel time reliability improvements for road projects were included in Dutch cost-benefit analysis (CBA) by multiplying the travel time benefits from...

Dit artikel presenteert nieuwe monetaire waarden voor reistijd (‘value of time’, VOT) en betrouwbaarheid van reistijd (‘value of reliability’, VOR), die bedoeld zijn voor gebruik in kosten-batenanalyses van transportprojecten in Nederland. Het gaat om één van de eerste studies wereldwijd waar deze waarden empirisch zijn bestudeerd binnen een gezame...

We have established new values of time (VOTs) and values of travel time reliability (VORs) for use in cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of transport projects in The Netherlands. This was the first national study in The Netherlands (and one of the first world-wide) to investigate these topics empirically in a joint framework.Stated preference (SP) questio...

This paper discusses the methods used in a study on the values of time and reliability in freight transport in the Netherlands. SP surveys were carried out among more than 800 shippers and carriers. A novel feature is that both for the value of time and reliability two additive components are distinguished: a transport cost and a cargo component. S...

Accessibility in transport policy documents is usually measured through partial indicators such as road speeds, traffic queues or train fares. In the literature, more advanced indicators are found, based on e.g. market potential or utility-based methods. This paper presents a generalised transport costs indicator for policy making which incorporate...

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is a main European airport and represents an important concentration of European distribution centres (EDCs). It is commonly assumed that distribution centres are attracted to the airport region because of its air transport services. However, if one considers economies of agglomeration, whereby the geographical clustering...

In The Netherlands, major infrastructure projects are assessed using cost-benefit analysis, following official guidelines. Until recently, the reliability of travel times could not be included in the cost-benefit analysis, because the corresponding monetary valuation was unknown. In recent years, the literature on valuing reliability of travel time...

This paper is about the agglomeration effect of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and its implications for location policy regarding the airport region. We focus on a specific case, namely the important concentration of European Distribution Centers (EDCs) around the airport. The traditional answer to the question why EDCs are attracted to the airport is...

This thesis deals with the explanation of why European Distribution Centers (EDCs) cluster around Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. We present and test a new model of the clustering of EDCs around the airport. The Netherlands is an attractive location for EDCs. Approximately one-half of all EDCs in Europe are located in The Netherlands. Schiphol repres...

Purpose – This paper aims to report a survey carried out among European distribution centres (EDCs) in The Netherlands. EDCs are forerunners in implementing advanced logistics systems, since they are responsible for the distribution of a manufacturer's products to customers in a larger part of Europe, Middle East and Africa, often with strict servi...

Many international logistics companies have organized their European distribution network along central European distribution lines which is why European Distribution Centers (EDCs) have come to play a leading part in all of this. The Netherlands is an attractive location for EDCs. More than half of all ECDs in Europe are located in The Netherlands...

Within Europe, The Netherlands has a dominant market share of European distribution Centers (EDCs). More than half of all EDCs in Europe are located in The Netherlands. Approximately 25% of them is established near Schiphol. There is now much evidence to support the hypothesis that a serious proportion of EDCs that are established near Schiphol (ai...

Logistiek neemt in onze maatschappij zo'n belangrijke plaats in, dat een overzicht van de beschikbare logistieke besturingsconcepten niet achterwege kan blijven. In dit boek worden deze concepten geïnventariseerd en met elkaar vergeleken. Het boek is enerzijds bedoeld voor degenen die voor het eerst met logistieke besturing in aanraking komen kenni...
