The purpose of this study was to investigate how a smart phone freight application service (Apps) could reduce CO2 emissions in road freight transport and to identify the core problems for improvements.
Moreover, MAMCA is one of the main evaluation tools in the EU project STRAIGHTSOL (Strategies and measures for smarter urban freight solutions) of the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7 2007–13) and also in NISTO (New Integrated Smart Transport Options) project, in the framework of INTERREG North-West Europe Programme [53].
She is a leader in innovative mobility research, focusing on carsharing, ecodriving for private vehicles and freight, and smart parking management for transit and trucks.
"We have a chance to do something smarter, and take a freight ship that is heading in one expensive and unproductive direction and turn it around," Steinberg said.
PERI's study suggests initiatives for each state in the areas of energy efficiency retrofits to buildings, solar and wind investments, mass transit and freight rail improvements, smart grid and finally, 'advanced' biofuels investments.
- Retrofitting buildings to improve energy efficiency - Expanding mass transit and freight rail - Constructing smart electrical grid transmission systems - Wind power - Solar power - Next-generation biofuels.
Scary smart, with a scowl to stop a freight train — that was Jim Michaels.
By installing seven freight apps on the author's smart phone, the information collected via production observation is demonstrated to be sufficient to fulfill the needs of this research as a validation of the case findings.
Such work has been explored in other projects such as Freightwise [13], Smart-CM, Smartfreight, e-Freight and elsewhere [12].
In a 2012 report called "Smart Moves," EDF documented the most effective ways for shippers to cut freight costs and improve the efficiency of their supply chains.
