FUNDAMENTALS OF TRANSPORTATIONS

Ways oF TRANSPORTATIONS

BY LAND

Includes road (cars, buses, trucks) and rail (trains).

WATER

Involves shipping (cargo ships, ferries) and inland waterways (barges).

AIR

Involves air travel (airplanes, helicopters).

PIPELINE

Used for transporting liquids and gases (oil, natural gas).

Geopolitical risks Regulations (emissions standards, labour laws, tariffs) Natural disasters

EXTERNAL FACTORS

Lead times and inventory costs (Just-in-Time Delivery) Penalties for late deliveries

COST OF DELAYS

Full Truckload (FTL) vs. Less-than-Truckload (LTL) Backhaul optimization to reduce empty trips

CAPACITY UTILIZATION

Fixed Costs: Vehicles, infrastructure, labor Variable Costs: Fuel, maintenance, fees

TYPES OF COSTS

Transportation costs

Transportation refers to the movement of people, goods, and services from one location to another. It plays a crucial role in economic development, facilitating trade, and connecting communities

introduction

• Lead Time is the total time required for a product or merchandise to be delivered from when the order is placed to its final destination.
• Just in time is a logistics strategy to deliver goods or raw materials exactly when needed in the production chain or to the end customer.
• Delivery Deadlines are specific periods when goods need to be delivered.
• Express Shipping. Express shipping may be a solution to meet urgent demands or deliver critical products.
• Cross-docking is a logistics technique that reduces storage time and accelerates delivery, as products are received at a distribution point
• Routing involves optimizing delivery routes to reduce travel time and maximize efficiency

• Time KPIs Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are often used to measure time efficiency in logistics operations

time

Risk management: is a process of analytical and management activities that focus on identifying and responding to the inherent uncertainties of managing a complex organization and its assets.

Risk For the transportation companies Every company faces risk, but specifically in this area the risks typically reside in three areas: fleet integrity and safety, driver safety and retention, and compliance. The first two areas are subject to external influences, particularly weather events, natural disasters, traffic, and road conditions.

transportation risk management

Why safety is important in transportation:

• Prevention of accidents: helps prevent accidents and minimize their impact.
• Protection of individuals:help protect individuals from injuries and fatalities in the event of an accident.
• Promotion of a culture of safety: can help promote a culture of safety on the roads and encourage road users to adopt safe driving practices.
• Minimization of economic losses: can help minimize economic losses resulting from accidents and promote economic growth.

safety measures

Transport safety is a crucial element of the transportation industry, focusing on the adoption of diverse strategies to prevent accidents and safeguard the well-being of people. These are some safety measures:

• Use of Safety Equipment:
• Regular Vehicle Maintenance
• Driver Training Programs
• Safety Protocol

Key Difference between Intermodal and Multimodal: Intermodal Transport : uses different carriers and contracts for each transport mode, while Multimodal Transport: has one operator and contract for the entire journey, simplifying the process.

Multimodal Transport: - Single contract for the entire journey, regardless of transport modes. - One operator manages cargo from start to finish. - Simplifies logistics and reduces administrative tasks.

Intermodal Transport:- Operates under a single contract for the entire journey, regardless of transport modes. - One operator manages the cargo from start to finish. - Simplifies logistics and reduces administrative complexity.

Intermodal vs. Multimodal Transport

Modern transport logistics is strongly technology-driven. Innovative software solutions enable companies to better control and manage their logistics processes. Today´s systems enable real-time tracking of shipments, improved route planning and better capacity utilisation. They also enable improved communication and collaboration between the different actors in the suply chain.

technology and data integration

Technology plays a significant role in making transportation and it´s systems more efficient, reliable and sustainable

• Intelligent transportation systems
• Telematics
• Blockchain
• Real-time Data Collection
• Data Analytics and AI
• MaaS

The fundamentals of transportation, it is crucial to recognize the pivotal role that transportation systems play in our daily lives and the economy. Throughout this presentation, we have explored the core components of transportation, including its various modes, infrastructure and logistics.
