Existing systems track goods online using Internet of Things (IoT) sensors; however, in certain areas—due to factors like adverse weather or geographical barriers—consistent Internet access is unavailable. This gap presents a vulnerability where containers may be replaced with counterfeit cargo. In this paper, we propose a model that uses Global Positioning System (GPS) data to detect counterfeiting containers. Each container is equipped with a digital identifier that transmits an encrypted unique ID (K<sub>i</sub>) to authorized receivers. This ID, along with the GPS ID (G<sub>i</sub>) and truck engine ID (ID<sub>i</sub>), forms a triple identifier (K<sub>i</sub>, G<sub>i</sub>, ID<sub>i</sub>), which is hashed using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-3) and stored in a blockchain for product tracking. Since the G<sub>i</sub> and ID<sub>i</sub> are inherently available on each truck, no additional IoT sensors are needed, reducing implementation costs. Furthermore, the model records information on all components of a shipment in the blockchain, allowing for comprehensive tracking and authentication along the supply chain, both at authorized intermediate control stations and at the final destination. The proposed model has been evaluated across various qualitative criteria including security, cost-efficiency, scalability, flexibility, traceability, and transparency. It is particularly well-suited for routes where IoT-based tracking is impractical or where GPS and Internet access are limited.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101329"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143511798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When an incumbent HSR operator has to share the cake with newcomers, the resulting decline in revenues and profits may limit the effectiveness of the relevant cross-subsidies. We analyse such scenarios through the case of Spain, in which the state-owned incumbent rail company, Renfe, faces increasing competition in its more lucrative HSR corridors. Scenarios suggest that with only a 30 % drop in ticket sales in the northeastern HSR corridor, the financial balance of Renfe's HSR commercial operations becomes negative. This means that beyond the profits made by new entrants in one or two specific corridors, the outcomes for non-profitable corridors will be quite different: public authorities will have to cover losses and/or Renfe will have to increase ticket prices and/or the frequencies of HSR services will have to be cut. Travellers on the most profitable HSR routes will enjoy greater frequency of services and lower fares, while those on other HSR routes could experience less frequency and higher fares. In geographical terms, rail liberalisation applied to HSR operations may thus have very heterogeneous effects and reinforce spatial inequalities between regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 101317"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143487501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, for female passengers, maintaining a positive corporate image is crucial for loyalty, influencing their likelihood to recommend or continue using the service. Gender differences were also observed in the perception of service quality related to information about schedules and routes, with this information being essential for women. No significant gender differences were found in the metro service.

However, their interactions with existing transit systems, i.e., whether they complement or compete with them, are still unclear. This paper addresses this issue by exploring the relationships between two shared modes (bikesharing and free-floating carsharing) and traditional public transit (subway and bus) using several passive data streams from Montreal. A novel terminology is first proposed to define different types of interactions based on their impacts on the ridership of each mode in the short or long term. Building on this conceptual framework, a rule-based algorithm is developed to classify individual bikesharing and carsharing trips into distinct groups of potential complementary or competing relationships with transit. The spatial and temporal distributions of trips in different categories are then analyzed. Finally, the causal impacts of competing bikesharing trips on daily route-level transit ridership are assessed using a fixed effects difference-in-differences model. The results reveal that daily ridership on transit lines that would have been used in the absence of bikesharing may have been reduced by 1.3 % for every 100 bikesharing trips. However, the shared modes can also complement transit in time (when the service is closed), space (outside the service area or in the first/last mile connectivity), or when the service is unsatisfying (less direct or slower). Competition is most evident in the city center, at peak times, but can also help to relieve the most congested transit lines, and thus turn into a positive interaction in the long term.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101311"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143453153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research questions are: (1) How was hoarding related to consumer behaviour during Covid-19? and (2) How did hoarding impact supply chains? The first question is addressed through empirical, primarily descriptive data, while the second is explored through a theoretical analysis of the empirical findings to contextualise consumer hoarding more broadly. Two independent surveys were conducted to study what was hoarded (first survey), by whom (first and second survey) and why (first survey). Results show that Swedes mainly hoarded canned food, pasta and toilet paper, but also rice, frozen food and dry food. Hoarders are characterised by being young, well educated, having a higher income, living with children, and in big cities. Remarkable is that only 34 % stated that they hoarded because of concerns that goods would run out, while 55 % stated that the reason was fear of being infected or concern for infecting others. The empirical findings are used for a discursive analysis of hoarding's effect on supply chains. The analysis is assisted by introducing the CARS framework categorising product types based on how flexibly the production system can scale up production and to what extent consumption is increased or just postponed by hoarding. Industries with inflexible production systems providing groceries with a postponed consumption (e.g. canned food and pasta) were found most affected by hoarding. Hoarding aggravated the supply of groceries like coffee, wheat flour and yeast, and the supply chains also needed to adapt to supplying small packages to consumers via stores or e-commerce rather than in larger quantities to offices, restaurants and bakeries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101324"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143445292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data shows ships without new fixtures during a previous laden voyage spent more time ballasting than those with new fixtures. For ships without new fixtures during a previous laden voyage, we confirm that the elapsed time from discharge and sailing distance to loading areas are critical for vessels in selecting their next destinations by developing a multinomial logit model.
