This paper studies both the vertical coordinated contract in the online container supply chain and participants' choices toward liner companies' horizontal cooperation strategy considering service quality competition. Game models are constructed to investigate the freight rate, transaction price, and participants' service quality under both centralized and decentralized structures. Results show that the proposed revenue sharing and cost allocation contracts could coordinate the vertical cooperation of participants in the online container supply chain under the decentralized structure. Besides, liner companies' horizontal cooperation strategy is always beneficial for liner companies and is not always bad for the shipping e-commerce platform. It is win-win for them when the coefficient of liner company's marginal service quality cost exceeds a certain value.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101297"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139606","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}

However, the booming development of dockless SMM faces challenges in operations management hindered by disorderly parking. The common management practices for addressing such disadvantages start with partitioning spatial objects, one of which is strategically planning virtual stations. Based on extensive journey data and geospatial information, multi-source data are first integrated and utilized as the data basis. A rule-enhanced clustering approach is proposed for the large-scale virtual station planning of dockless SMM at the city level. The geographical distribution of virtual stations is refined by integrating clustering algorithms and geospatial rules which encompass geospatial object conflicts, enclosed land-use conflicts, traffic conflicts, and adjacent demands fusion. Then, the dockless SMM system in Shenzhen, China is taken as the case study. The results show that (1) the dockless SMM system in Shenzhen is imbalanced both spatially and temporally, requiring further refinement; (2) the optimal number of clusters (namely virtual stations) for K-means, DBSCAN, and OPTICS clustering is 8500, 9194, and 8257 respectively, among which K-means exhibits the best performance over metrics; (3) 5825 virtual stations are eventually located in Shenzhen by rules adoption, of which the alignment between virtual stations and geospatial circumstances is illustrated as well. The findings of this study indicate that the proposed approach can enhance the practicality of virtual station detection results when applied in real-world scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101300"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139605","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}

Previous studies have primarily focused on forecasting annual regional freight demand and freight flow regarding freight trips or commodity flow, overlooking research into daily freight weight and parcels and the influence of various events on daily freight flow. This oversight neglects support for daily transportation tasks. In this study, we utilize a freight flow dataset comprising daily freight weight and parcels from a leading logistics company in cold regions of China. A hybrid XGBoost-SHAP and Prophet model is proposed to overcome the issue of Prophet failing to select important indicators, and to predict future freight flow and examine the correlation between freight flow and special events. Our findings reveal that the hybrid Prophet model outperforms LSTM, ARIMA, Prophet-SARIMA and the conventional Prophet model; meanwhile festivals and strict epidemic prevention policies have a significant impact on freight flow. These findings, derived from various contexts provincially, suggest that the Prophet model with events can serve multiple objectives in predicting freight flow, and contribute to the design of freight strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47453,"journal":{"name":"Research in Transportation Business and Management","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101294"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139602","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}

Utilizing the PLS-SEM method, the structural model confirms that service quality is a hierarchical second order model which extensively impacts customer satisfaction and positively affects service loyalty. Specifically, fulfillment, security & privacy, system availability, and efficiency factors of e-service quality emerged as significant determinants of user loyalty and satisfaction. In addition, customer satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between service quality and intention to continue using the ridesharing services. The findings highlight the role of delivering high-quality digital services in fostering customer loyalty, commitment, and retention in the ride-sharing domain, particularly in developing economies. In addition, this study highlights that Bangladeshi perspectives on the sharing economy emphasize the need for better infrastructure, improved safety and privacy for women, and affordable, reliable service, insights that are also relevant for other emerging economies. Theoretically, this study extends the research of ridesharing services by applying the well-established <em>E</em>-S-QUAL framework while assessing the mediating role of customer satisfaction in ensuring service viability.
