Quantifying the Benefits of Collaborative Transportation for Logistics Partners

本研究项目的主要目标是深入了解运输环境下公司之间合作的潜在好处。为了实现这一目标，研究计划将通过量化其获得的利益（例如，在更高的利润方面）来说明协同运输（CT）更有效的条件。这项工作的关键新颖之处在于从运输服务客户和运输供应商（承运人）的角度进行严格和客观的评估。

The main goal of this research program is to provide insights into potential benefits of collaboration among companies in a transportation context. To achieve this goal, the research program will illustrate the conditions under which collaborative transportation (CT) is more effective by quantifying its obtained benefits (e.g. in terms of a higher profit). The key novelty of this work is in conducting rigorous and objective assessments from the perspectives of both clients of transportation services and transport providers (carriers).
