Enhancing Competitiveness And Connectivity: The New Us-Mexico Air Services Agreement, Drew M. Stapleton, Vivek Pande
Enhancing Competitiveness And Connectivity: The New Us-Mexico Air Services Agreement, Drew M. Stapleton, Vivek Pande
Journal of Transportation Management
Beginning this year, U.S. cargo and passenger airlines will have an opportunity to compete for a bigger share of freight trade and traffic between the U.S. and Mexico. This opportunity will occur as a result of the new Air Services Agreement (ASA) between the U.S. and Mexico that took effect in January, 2016. This ASA further elevates and strengthens the dynamic commercial and economic relationship between the United States and Mexico by facilitating greater trade and tourism. It is a key element of the U.S.-Mexico High Level Economic Dialogue (HLED) that aims to promote competitiveness and connectivity, foster economic growth, …
Logistics Concepts In Freight Transportation Modeling, Subhro Mitra, Elvis Ndembe, Poyraz Kayabas
Logistics Concepts In Freight Transportation Modeling, Subhro Mitra, Elvis Ndembe, Poyraz Kayabas
Journal of Transportation Management
The purpose of this paper is to review logistics concepts used in macro freight transportation modeling by various planning agencies at the national, state and city level. The chronological development of freight modeling endeavors are studied here and the logistics component incorporated in the modeling is identified. The key modeling tools are identified and analyzed to identify the efficacy of the model, ease of use, and data required to implement the model. The conclusion was that European freight models were more developed than North American freight models. The tools most widely used are the aggregate-disaggregate-aggregate model, input-output model, artificial neural …
Identifying The Dimensions Of Logistics Service Quality In An Online B2c Context, David M. Gligor
Identifying The Dimensions Of Logistics Service Quality In An Online B2c Context, David M. Gligor
Journal of Transportation Management
There is theoretical and practical evidence indicating the existence of significant differences between the needs and wants of firms and end consumers, as well as the existence of significantly different needs between offline and online environments. Therefore, it is not clear how effectively measures of logistics service quality developed in an offline, B2B context can be applied to an online, B2C environment. This manuscript explores the elements of logistics service quality that end consumers value in an online context. The literature on logistics service quality in B2B and the literature on online consumer satisfaction are integrated. This results in the …
Using Visual Data Mining In Highway Traffic Safety Analysis And Decision Making, Yao-Te Tsai, Huw D. Smith, Stephen M. Swartz, Fadel M. Megahed
Using Visual Data Mining In Highway Traffic Safety Analysis And Decision Making, Yao-Te Tsai, Huw D. Smith, Stephen M. Swartz, Fadel M. Megahed
Journal of Transportation Management
An ongoing, two-fold challenge involves extracting useful information from the massive amounts of highway crash data and explaining complicated statistical models to inform the public about highway safety. Highway safety is critical to the trucking industry and highway funding policy. One method to analyze complex data is through the application of visual data mining tools. In this paper, we address the following three questions: a) what existing data visualization tools can assist with highway safety theory development and in policy-making?; b) can visual data mining uncover unknown relationships to inform the development of theory or practice? and c) can a …
Impact Of Freight Traffic On School Walking Decisions In Urban Environments, Stephanie S. Ivey, Marian Levy, Marla B. Royne, Kelsey Ford, Kranthi Guthikonda
Impact Of Freight Traffic On School Walking Decisions In Urban Environments, Stephanie S. Ivey, Marian Levy, Marla B. Royne, Kelsey Ford, Kranthi Guthikonda
Journal of Transportation Management
In light of the decline in social acceptance of walking and biking to school, there is a critical need to examine issues impacting school transportation decisions and to identify strategies to promote healthier behavior. In urban areas with high volume freight corridors, factors affecting school walking decisions can be complicated by increased truck and rail traffic. This paper presents findings from a study of urban neighborhoods in a major southeastern city, including those that are adjacent to freight corridors. Perceptions of neighborhood residents are compared in the context of existing infrastructure and network characteristics (urban vs. urban freight-centric). The results …
Mmog/Le: Improving Supply Chain Delivery Performance Through Buyer- Supplier Collaboration, Timothy W. Butler, David L. Williams, Tingting Yan
Mmog/Le: Improving Supply Chain Delivery Performance Through Buyer- Supplier Collaboration, Timothy W. Butler, David L. Williams, Tingting Yan
Journal of Transportation Management
This article introduces readers to a relatively new self-assessment tool for measuring the readiness and effectiveness of supplier materials management and logistics processes in the automotive industry. The tool, the Material Management Operating Guidelines/Logistics Evaluation (MMOG/ LE), was developed by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), and Odette International – a European alliance of automotive companies. The article begins with an introduction to the topic of quality and materials management assessment systems. The author’s then report on what they learned about MMOG/LE based on a review of the system and other comparable systems, and based on interviews with OEM’s and …
Standardization Of Highway Construction Delay Claim Analysis: A Highway Bridge Case Study, Mohammed S. Hashem M. Mehany, Neil S. Grigg
Standardization Of Highway Construction Delay Claim Analysis: A Highway Bridge Case Study, Mohammed S. Hashem M. Mehany, Neil S. Grigg
Journal of Transportation Management
Highway construction efficiency is critical to highway users such as the trucking industry given today’s era of shortages in funding, and given the need for major re-investments in the highway system. One topic that can add to project costs relates to delays and how contractors are reimbursed for such delays. Delays are common in construction, especially in complex heavy highway and other infrastructure projects, and the claims they generate have negative effects on project schedules and costs. In spite of this, the analysis of claims is hindered due to the variety of methods and analysis techniques in use and lack …
A New Approach To Speaker Relevence Using A Logistics Executive In Residence Course, Stephen M. Rutner, Scott R. Cox, Maria E. Aviles
A New Approach To Speaker Relevence Using A Logistics Executive In Residence Course, Stephen M. Rutner, Scott R. Cox, Maria E. Aviles
Journal of Transportation Management
This article addresses a new method to bring real world relevance into the Logistics, Transportation and Supply Chain Management classroom. A different type of Executive in Residence course focuses on using multiple industry speakers to provide a unique learning environment for today’s Millennial majors. While the majority of the paper is a thought based overview, a statistical analysis of student responses was used to compare various types of relevant courses. A simple comparison of various appropriate items was examined to identify if the Executive in Residence course increased learning. Both the anecdotal and statistical evidence suggests that the Executive in …
