Ambient temperature sensors were placed on cartons of wine and liquor inside the thermal container liner and between the thermal liner and the door of the container. Weather data was also collected during the trials. Temperature profiles showed large fluctuations in temperature inside containers because of day and night cycles while the containers were stacked at the departure and destination ports, posing challenges for supply chain management. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the temperature profiles, whereas logit analysis was used to determine the impact of the thermal container liner on the temperatures to which the wine and liquor were exposed. Blind tastings were used to evaluate product quality after exposure to temperature fluctuations. Results showed that thermal liners significantly reduced temperature variability, which is critical for maintaining wine and liquor quality. Despite this, blind tastings confirmed that some products were negatively affected by temperature deviations. The study recommends the use of thermal foil liners for maritime transport of wine and liquor to minimise product damage and financial losses.

This study uses online survey data from practitioners working in the planning and provision of active travel related initiatives (N = 40), to understand international experiences, as influenced by the surge of interest in active travel during the pandemic. We base our investigations and analysis on two policy process theories – the Multiple Streams Framework and Punctuated Equilibrium Theory. Drawing tools and concepts from both, we provide a synthesis of international experiences with planning for active travel, and analyse how professionals perceive existing obstacles and opportunities for active travel provision once the immediate impacts of the pandemic have waned. Our findings reveal a pervasive adherence to the status quo – while certain policies temporarily adapted to accommodate the pandemic’s disruptions, the pandemic failed to trigger substantial actions for our sample. The primary challenge lies in the enduring dominance of car-centric cultures and urban form, suggesting both a lack of community understanding about the issues associated with car usage, and ongoing structural barriers of cities planned around cars.

To address this problem, a novel decision-making approach is proposed, integrating the best-worst method (BWM), fuzzy hierarchy risk assessment (FHRA), and additive ratio assessment (ARAS). This approach decomposes the route decision-making problem into a hierarchy structure and determines the optimal solution through three distinct phases. In the first phase, BWM assigns relative weights to various criteria within the hierarchical structure, ensuring that the decision-makers’ preferences are accurately reflected. In the second phase, FHRA evaluates qualitative risks from the lowest to the highest hierarchy levels. This process involves calculating risk magnitudes at the lowest hierarchy level and progressively recalculating them as they ascend to the highest level of the hierarchy. The multimodal transport cost-model provides transportation cost and time. In the final phase, ARAS synthesizes all the decision-making data to rank all possible multimodal alternative routes based on utility scores. The realistic case study validates the practical applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach. The findings indicated that the proposed methodology effectively identify the most appropriate multimodal transport route as the best compromise choice.

This study specifically explores the role of dynamic route choice behavior within micro-simulation frameworks, emphasizing its application in the context of motorcycle-dominated traffic in Ninh Kiều District, Cần Thơ, Vietnam. By integrating discrete choice models for route selection with rigorous calibration and validation in AIMSUN, the study developed a comprehensive traffic simulation model for large-scale networks. Findings reveal that motorcycles dynamically adjust routes based on current traffic conditions rather than adhering strictly to shortest path strategies. However, the availability of roadside traffic information systems accessible to motorcycles in developing countries is limited, hindering optimal route choices. To address this gap and encourage the enhancement of route choice behavior, the study evaluates the impact of real-time traffic information provision using Macroscopic Fundamental Diagrams within the micro-simulation model. The results demonstrate significant improvements in network efficiency when informed route selection behaviors are facilitated, particularly with comprehensive coverage across all road types. Higher compliance rates notably improved network capacity by up to 84%. Overall, this study contributes methodologically by increasing model precision and practical insights into managing heterogeneous traffic environments, highlighting the transformative potential of traffic information systems and advocating for broader implementation in similar motorcycle-centric regions, which currently still rarely extend beyond toll roads.
