Abstract

To meet increased freight flows through maritime ports, a high level of resource utilisation in hinterland transport is of crucial importance. However, various perspectives on resource utilisation create issues with use of information for operational decisions in port hinterland. The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of information related to resource utilisation for operational planning in port hinterland freight transport to facilitate its improvement. The study is case-based, and the data is collected through semi-structured interviews, visual observations, and company documents. The findings are analysed with a framework built from literature emphasising different resource utilisation perspectives and the use of information in road freight transport chain decisions. The findings show that the use of information on resource utilisation in operational freight transport decisions in the port hinterland transport system is limited and lacks a complete system overview. Instead of the information on measured parameters, different types of estimates of efficiency parameters (including resource utilisation) are commonly used for operational planning decisions. The information about the measured indicators has to be combined with other information to obtain an efficient level of resource utilisation; otherwise, it could generate incorrect assumptions regarding utilisation. The paper contributes to the topic of operational freight transport planning by describing the use of information on resource utilisation.

有关港口腹地运输运作规划的资源利用资料
为应付经由海港的货运量增加,提高内地运输的资源利用率,至为重要。然而,关于资源利用的不同观点在港口腹地的操作决策中产生了使用信息的问题。本文的目的是探讨如何利用有关资源利用的资料,制订港口腹地货运的营运规划,以促进其改善。该研究以案例为基础,通过半结构化访谈、视觉观察和公司文件收集数据。研究结果用强调不同资源利用视角和公路货运链决策中信息使用的文献构建的框架进行分析。研究结果表明,在港口腹地运输系统的业务货运决策中,资源利用信息的使用是有限的,缺乏完整的系统概述。不同类型的效率参数估计(包括资源利用率)通常用于操作计划决策,而不是测量参数的信息。有关测量指标的信息必须与其他信息相结合,以获得有效的资源利用水平;否则,它可能会产生关于利用率的错误假设。本文通过描述资源利用信息的使用,为经营性货运规划的主题做出了贡献。

期刊介绍: ToMS is a scientific journal with international peer review which publishes papers in the following areas: ~ Marine Engineering, ~ Navigation, ~ Safety Systems, ~ Marine Ecology, ~ Marine Fisheries, ~ Hydrography, ~ Marine Automation and Electronics, ~ Transportation and Modes of Transport, ~ Marine Information Systems, ~ Maritime Law, ~ Management of Marine Systems, ~ Marine Finance, ~ Bleeding-Edge Technologies, ~ Multimodal Transport, ~ Psycho-social and Legal Aspects of Long-term Working Aboard. The journal is published in English as an open access journal, and as a classic paper journal (in limited editions). ToMS aims to present best maritime research from South East Europe, particularly the Mediterranean area. Articles will be double-blind reviewed by three reviewers. With the intention of providing an international perspective at least one of the reviewers will be from abroad. ToMS also promotes scientific collaboration with students and has a section titled Students’ ToMS. These papers also undergo strict peer reviews. Furthermore, the Journal publishes short reviews on significant papers, books and workshops in the fields of maritime science.
