New truck transport approach being studied by OSU, Canada

A new method to route and organise truck transport that could enhance the life quality of truck drivers, save millions of dollars and increase the efficiency of freight transport is being studied by Oregon State University (OSU) researchers in Canada. Two systems - relay and point-to-point - are combined in the new method for full-truckload transport. A new mathematical method has also been developed by the cited researchers to minimise effects on drivers and optimise the dispatching system's design for goo

A new method to route and organise truck transport that could enhance the life quality of truck drivers, save millions of dollars and increase the efficiency of freight transport is being studied by Oregon State University (OSU) researchers in Canada.

Two systems - relay and point-to-point - are combined in the new method for full-truckload transport. A new mathematical method has also been developed by the cited researchers to minimise effects on drivers and optimise the dispatching system's design for goods transportation. The study, which analyses the downfalls of present truck transport approaches, has been recently released in Transportation Research Part E.
