Due to the propensity of fleet incidents, poor organisational survey results and a lack of fleet safety systems, it was evident that Redland City Council were underperforming, experiencing a variety of work related road safety issues and possessed a low fleet safety culture. As a result of an audit process, and the identification of gaps in organisational process within the fleet safety area Re...

In this work we present a large scale static, deterministic mixed inter linear programming model (MIP) solving an integrated location-routing problem (LRP) in the context of urban logistics services (ULS). We aim at determining a cost optimal infrastructure and fleet design for an urban consolidation and transportation network. The model is meant to quantitatively evaluate potential strategic m...

A simplified version of the ecological footprint method is proposed for assessing the environmental performances of urban transportation systems. The method, starting from the knowledge of the composition of the running vehicular fleet, is here applied to a southern Italian province. It represents a synthetic indicator of the environmental pressure exerted by the system also matching the pollut...

Correction for ‘Impacts of a near-future supersonic aircraft fleet on atmospheric composition and climate’ by Sebastian D. Eastham et al. , Environ. Sci.: Atmos. 2022, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1EA00081K.

Oil discoveries of recent years, especially in the pre-salt Santos Basin, reflect a large increase in petroleum exploration and production in Brazil. Accordingly, drilling rig and production platform crew transport demands will increase. This transport will also become more complex as average distance between fields and Brazil’s coast increases. The helicopter, the modal most used for this purp...

Many types of transportation systems, for example, public transit and commercial freight hauling and package delivery, may be categorized as being fleet operations. The environmental impacts of fleet operations such as these are affected by factors including the initial choice and selection of vehicles (types) comprising the fleet, vehicle age and maintenance, and the modal conditions under whi...

The chasing method was used in an on-road measurement campaign, and emission factors (EF) of black carbon (BC), particle number (PN) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) were determined for 139 individual vehicles of different types encountered on the roads. The aggregated results provide EFs for BC, NOx and PN for three vehicle categories: goods vehicles, gasoline and diesel passenger cars. This is the f...

Sulfur aerosols and soot from supersonic aircraft may cause greater climate impacts than the emitted CO 2 . Both fuel composition cruise altitude must be considered when evaluating effects of on ozone layer.
