The use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data can significantly enhance the accuracy and resolution of fuel consumption calculations over flight routes. However, ADS-B data exhibits several issues, including inconsistent data point distribution, uneven interval widths, and variability in flight durations, making it difficult to align with fuel consumption data. This study developed a comprehensive mathematical framework and established a connection between flight dynamics in ADS-B data and fuel consumption, providing a set of high-precision, high-resolution fuel calculation methods. It also allows other practitioners to select data sources according to specific needs through this framework. The framework includes three main steps: (1) Using ADS-B data to determine the flight profile, which involves identifying aircraft behaviors such as acceleration, deceleration, climb, and descent, and establishing their theoretical relationships and parameters with fuel consumption. (2) Fitting the coefficients of the relationship between flight profiles and fuel consumption using available interval fuel consumption data. (3) Calculating instantaneous fuel consumption through monotonic and smooth interpolation. Our comprehensive analysis of ADS-B and Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) datasets from April 2022 to December 2023, focusing on interval and instantaneous fuel consumption patterns among China’s 11 most prevalent aircraft types. The interval fuel consumption error demonstrates a reduction to 0.1% at the 10th percentile of the error distribution, while maintaining a mean error of 3.31%. Even at the 90th percentile, the error remains below 10%, demonstrating the model’s robustness across most scenarios. Regarding instantaneous fuel consumption model performance, the Boeing 737 MAX 800 demonstrates a cumulative instantaneous fuel consumption error of just 6.6% during cruise phase, while the Airbus A321-200 shows errors of 7.1% during climb and 8.4% during descent phases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49418,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part E-Logistics and Transportation Review","volume":"203 ","pages":"Article 104339"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144781303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis yields some interesting findings. In particular, the information spillover effect may promote a high-risk creator to voluntarily disclose his risk information rather than free-riding on the disclosed information of a low-risk creator, in order to mitigate market competition. However, the interplay between the spillover effect and disclosure costs may lead two creators into the trap of the prisoners’ dilemma by withholding their risk information. Our analysis also suggests that MDP does not always harm the high-risk creator due to the mitigation of the spillover effect, and it can also help resolve the prisoners’ dilemma, thereby increasing both creators’ crowdfunding performance if disclosure costs are not excessively high. Nevertheless, contrary to the intuitive expectation that MDP will protect consumers’ interests by enabling them to make informed decisions, our results indicate that MDP may actually reduce consumer surplus by increasing crowdfunding prices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49418,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Part E-Logistics and Transportation Review","volume":"203 ","pages":"Article 104358"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144781301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces the Safety-oriented Multi-depot Integrated Vehicle and Crew Scheduling Problem (S-MD-IVCSP), a new generalization to the IVCSP where the safety risks of trip tasks are explicitly considered. To this end, we use the survival analysis model to assess safety risks during drivers’ work processes using warning data. Particularly, a safety risk transition model is developed based on the changing patterns of safety risk in single-line bus operations, which can be applied to driver crossline scenarios under regional scheduling. A time-space network model is devised to represent the S-MD-IVCSP. The drivers’ risk probability is incorporated into the objective. An enhanced adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm, featuring multiple operators, is developed to reduce the fleet size, optimize crew working hours, and mitigate drivers’ duty risks. The model is applied to 3 real-world bus lines in Guangzhou, China. Results show that our approach can reduce safety risks by at least 30% compared to the traditional cost-oriented approach, without significantly increasing operational costs. There is strong compatibility between regional scheduling strategies and proactive safety measures. By leveraging the warning data, regional scheduling can reduce the crew’s safety risks effectively, improving safety performance by over 19% compared to single-line scheduling mode.

This dual challenge requires both parties to collaboratively design cooperation strategies to achieve value co-creation. We apply the Stackelberg Model and Nash Bargaining Model to characterize three cooperation strategies between brands and platforms, namely Simple Cooperation (SPC), Operational Support (OS), and Strategic Cooperation (STC), then analyze the solutions in different scenarios. By integrating fan economy and herd behavior into game-theoretic frameworks, we conduct decision analysis. First, our results show that compared with SPC, both STC and OS can lead to <em>Pareto</em> improvement. Second, when platforms have strong bargaining power and market conditions are sluggish, both parties opt for OS as the equilibrium strategy. Third, STC is optimal when brands and platforms have comparable bargaining power in flourishing markets. Especially as market conditions change, STC can effectively adjust the retail price and stimulate the brand to invest. Three extensions based on revenue sharing and cost sharing mechanisms validate the robustness of the findings.

In this work, we propose a multi-modal logistics system for last-mile delivery that combines the use of trucks, metro and micro-mobility. This innovative type of system uses the metro to distribute the parcels to micro-hubs across the network and uses micro-mobility only for the final part of the parcel’s itinerary from the micro-hub to the front door of the customer. We focus on finding the optimal micro-hub locations in such a system. We use a continuum approximation of the operational and tactical decisions which includes routing of the micro-mobility vehicles. The whole problem is then modeled as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for the strategic decisions regarding the micro-hubs, which include location, capacity, and fleet-assignment decisions.

As global trade continues to expand, the management of marine traffic has become crucial for improving logistics efficiency. Precise and accurate marine traffic flow (MTF) prediction is essential for optimizing shipping routes, reducing transit times, and improving overall supply chain effectiveness. AIS equipment is now mandatory on vessels, transmitting static data such as the vessel’s identification code and flag state, along with dynamic data including latitude, longitude, speed and heading. High-frequency and comprehensive AIS data enables more accurate predictions of maritime traffic flow. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end MTF prediction framework utilizing AIS data as the primary source. The algorithm encompasses three critical steps: data preprocessing, marine traffic network extraction, and maritime traffic flow prediction. This comprehensive approach ensures more accurate predictions of the maritime traffic flow. In the marine traffic network extraction process, we distinguish nodes by categorizing AIS data feature points into mooring points and waypoints to obtain a more accurate identification. We then introduce a Decomposable Multi-fusion Spatio-temporal Network (DMFSTN) to enhance the accuracy of maritime traffic flow predictions. Existing approaches do not solve the relationship between static and dynamic features well. At the same time, the often-used serialized extraction of spatial and temporal features tends to overlook fine-grained spatio-temporal dependence features. To address these issues, our DMFSTN model integrates temporal and spatial features and leverages dynamic and static spatial relationships for more precise MTF predictions. Additionally, our model also decomposes marine flow data into trend and seasonal components, offering insights into underlying patterns. As a case study, we apply our model to analyze MTF of the North Sea and Baltic Sea region using data provided by the Danish Maritime Administration.
