Purpose: Numerous studies suggest that Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology can provide improved container handling efficiency; however, there is a relative lack of research concerning tracking and monitoring of vehicle movement in the container terminal environment. This study therefore aims at assessing the feasibility of applying RFID for vehicle tracking purposes in a container ...

This article compares the technical and economic indicators of types transportation goods by principle “from door-to-door”. Analyzes choice an effective option. The research considers possibility choosing most efficient option least expensive type transportation, depending on distance weight cargo being transported. Container transport, contrailer road transport rail in covered wagons were sele...

The study was designed to develop a new procedure for perfusion of brain and pituitary explants collected from three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and round goby (Neogobius melanostomus). The procedure was elaborated for studies of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and isotocin (IT) release from explants of both species. AVT and IT, analogs of mammalian vasopressin and oxytocin, are neuroh...

Precise temperature monitoring is the major precondition to supervise quality losses within the transport chain for fresh products. Different types of miniaturised data loggers with electrical and semi-passive RFID interface were compared and applied to record spatial temperature profiles for typical transport situations. The resulting effects of the found temperature variations were evaluated ...

This paper presents a freight transport optimization model that simultaneously incorporates multimodal infrastructure, hub-based service network structures, and the various design objectives of multiple actors. The model has been calibrated and validated using real-life data from the case study of hinterland container transport of the Netherlands, where CO2 pricing, terminal network configurati...

This paper describes the approach aimed at supporting industrial enterprises, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in solving research and technological problems in their business sector of transport logistics services. The approach is focused on strengthening SMEs technological facilities and creating a win-win situation for the actors of the global transport logistics chain (shippi...

Managing empty-container movements is one of the most challenging logistics problems in shipping field. With growth global trade imbalance, repositioning process has become necessary, immediately after emptying a container. The main contribution this research paper to enrich frequently used methods, models, and applications literature, for relaxing empty-container-repositioning problem. article...

Preservation of cell quality during shipment of human pancreatic islets for use in laboratory research is a crucial, but neglected, topic. Mammalian cells, including islets, have been shown to be adversely affected by temperature changes in vitro and in vivo, yet protocols that control for thermal fluctuations during cell transport are lacking. To evaluate an optimal method of shipping human is...
