In light of the growing traffic congestion problem and congestion cost, the container transport by railway has to be increased. The freight transport by railway can have decided advantages over trucks in terms of energy efficiency, emissions and cost for certain freight movements, just as transportation in the metropolitan region can have great advantages over driving truck. But the freight transport by truck should gain significant mobility benefits from a freight railway system. Thus, the DMT(Dual Mode Trailer) transport system which is coupled railway transport advantages with load transport advantages has been developed and used in the european countries. The DMT transport will therefore serve the areas required by transport organizers. This paper describes the various DMT transport systems and its strength and weakness.

Managing multi-echelon inventory systems has gained importance over the last decade mainly because integrated control of supply chains consisting of several processing and distribution stages has become feasible through modern information technology. Determination of optimal inventory policy for multi-echelon supply chain is made difficult by the complex interaction between the different levels. In this paper, we investigate performance of five inventory policies (fixed quantity order policy, fixed interval order policy, compromised order policy, lead time-fixed quantity order policy, and mixed order policy) in a multi-echelon supply chain by using a simulation model constructed with AweSim simulation language. The results of the simulation study show that the mixed order policy is the best among five inventory policies in the most test problems except the case when the stockout cost per unit is much higher than the inventory holding and transportation costs per unit.

In recent years, the smart card is wifely applied for wireless communication, tracking, transportation logistics, diagnostic monitoring, access control and security. RF-ID system is universally applicable. Passive RF-ID system consists from reader and passive tag. The reader transmits energy and simple information to a tag by wireless and the power from the reader is transformed for controller, FRAM and Bluetooth module. in this paper, an analysis and design of smart card for the transmission of the car movement data is presented.

This paper introduces a new optimal design method using a bacterial survival strategies for a ectromagnet of Maglev transportation vehicle. Usually, an electromagnetic suspension which has more advantages than electro dynamic suspension is used in Maglev systems. However, the structural constraints must be considered in the optimal design of an electromagnet for electromagnetic suspend system. In this paper, the optimal design method of a electromagnet based on a bacterial survival strategies optimization algorithm to design the electromagnet satisfying the structural constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by Matlab simulations and the simulation results show that the proposed method is more efficient than conventional methods.

This study is focussed on an optimal vehicle routing model for multi-supply centers in two-echelon logistic system. The aim of this study is to deliver goods for demand sites with optimal decision. This study investigated an integrated model using step-by-step approach based on relationship that exists between the inventory allocation and vehicle routing with restricted amount of inventory and transportations such as the capability of supply centers, vehicle capacity and transportation parameters. Three sub-models are developed: 1) sector-clustering model, 2) a vehicle-routing model based on clustering and a heuristic algorithm, and 3) a vehicle route scheduling model using TSP-solver based on genetic and branch-and-bound algorithm. Also, we have developed computer programs for each sub-models and user interface with visualization for major inputs and outputs. The application and superior performance of the proposed model are demonstrated by several sample runs for the inventory-allocation and vehicle routing problems.

In the present trends at which vessels would be supersizedly designed for adapting special cargoes in order for effective controls of logistics in marine transportation, it brings poor manoeuvrability of ships and makes environmental or economical loss seriously due to accidents of a large scale at sea. International Maritime Organization adopted manoeuvring standards and also recommended manoeuvring booklets for ship operators recently. We attempted to find variation of hydrodynamic derivatives when a bare hull was fitted with propeller and rudder, or propeller only by captive model test in the circulating water channel. On comparing experimental results with theoretical values derived from equations, almost same tenden-cies were found at hull-propeller-rudder and hull-propeller situations. Interactions with rudder displayed well at large drift angles.

Location-aware system is utilized in various fields such as Logistics, Home Network, Healthcare, Military and Transportation systems. In this paper, we designed and implemented a Location-aware system based on IEEE 802.15.4a CSS (Chirp Spread Spectrum) technology in variable environment. The CSS is possible to precision location awareness using RF signal. According to experimental result, the implemented system has recognition error less than 0.5m within 20m radius in space.

Many vehicle routing methods have been suggested, which minimize the routing distances of vehicles to reduce the total transportation cost. But the more considerations the method takes, the higher complexites are involved in a large number of practical situations. The purpose of this paper is to develop a vehicle distribution planning system using heuristic algorithms and simulation techniques for home electronics companies. The vehicle distribution planning system developed by this study involve so complicated and stochastic conditions such as one depot, multiple nodes(demand points), multiple vehicle types, multiple order items, and other many restrictions for operating vehicles. The proposed system is compared with the nearest neighbor method and the savings method in terms of total logistics cost and driving time. This heuristic algorithm and simulation based distribution planning system is efficient in computational complexity, and give improved solutions with respect to the cost as well as the time. This method constructs a route with a minimum number of vehicles for a given demand.

화물 수송은 상품의 생산과 소비에 직결되어 있으며 원활한 화물 수송이 경제에 미치는 영향이 크므로 그 중요성이 날로 증대되고 있다. 우리 나라는 그 동인 지속적 경제 성장으로 인한 경제 규모가 확대되면서 화물 수송에 대한 수요가 급격히 증가하였다. 이러한 화물 수송 수요의 증가 추세에 비해 물류 단지의 확충에 위한 적절한 투자 및 정책 등이 결여되어 왔다. 그러므로, 경제 및 산업발전에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 물류 단지를 파악하고 물류 단지 입지 결정 모형을 개발하고, 이 모형을 토대로 적정 입지를 결정하고자 한다. 물류 단지 입지에 관한 문제의 주요 관심 대상은 수송비용을 최소화하면서, 원하는 목적지까지의 빠른 수·배송을 이루어지게 하는 효율적 수송 입지 단지를 찾는데 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 물류 단지의 적정 위치 결정을 위하여 혼합 정수 모형을 이용해서 수송비용과 차량 경로를 고려한 수학적 모형을 개발하고자 한다. 개발된 모형을 공로부문의 수송을 중심으로 경기도 지역의 여러 물류 단지 후보 지역에 적용하고 적정 물류 단지를 찾고자 한다.
