With environmental concerns and limited natural resources, there is a need for cleaner sources of energy in the transportation sector. Renewable natural gas (RNG) is being considered as a potential fuel for heavy-duty applications due to its…
Concerns about environmental degradation and finite natural resources necessitate cleaner sources of energy for use in the transportation sector. In Canada, natural gas is currently being appraised as a potential alternative fuel for use in vehicles…

Purpose: One of the most important problems in the road fleet transportation of hazardous materials is truck accidents in which the main influential factors are the type of truck and its safety conditions. This research aimed to propose the pattern…
Oil cargoes account for a significant share of the railways transportation structure. The tank-car fleet is owned by commercial entities of various forms of ownership. Small transport companies merge into larger ones to increase the efficiency of…
World energy security depends on a stable energy environment and geopolitics that are sensitive to energy transportation strategies. However, to focus on the role of clean energy sources market fluctuations in energy security development, this study…
This paper uses a unique dataset, encompassing the entire product tanker fleet from 2017-2020, to study congestion in oil transportation markets. From this we establish three novel facts: (1) congestion significantly reduces tankers' contracting…
The paper presents a theft-prevention system, called the “Security Sensor System” (SSS), currently deployed on 50+ experimental trucks for Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) bulk distribution, and integrated on an Oil &
Within the context of the energy transition, there are several alternatives under study for the gradual replacement of diesel fuel based urban transport vehicles. This paper proposes an answer to the following question: Which bus technology and…
From the energy standpoint Cyprus is unique because the island relies on oil-fired power generation while the national electricity grid is isolated. Yet short driving distances render the country a testbed for a full electric vehicle fleet. Based on…
Given the growing severity of particulate matter (PM) and greenhouse gas pollution, the Korean government recently began supporting the use of eco-friendly vehicles, such as electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. However, the uptake of…
We evaluate the NOx and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trends of the Heavy-Duty (HD) transportation sector in California’s South Coast region, under four future scenarios with varying deployment trends of near-zero-emission vehicles and zero-emission…
The pickup and delivery crude oil transportation scheduling problem is to find an optimal assignment of requests to a fleet of tankers, sequence of visiting places, and loading and unloading volume of demand simultaneously in order to minimize the…
Crude oil tankers are transporting between 50 and 60 percent of all crude oil in world production. These huge amounts of black gold represent a source of a global economic development at the same time as they represent a threat for the sea and…
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that is converted into its liquid state for logistical benefits. It is also becoming a more viable alternative energy source due to its price competitiveness and environmental friendliness. We study an…
We propose a column generation based heuristic algorithm to solve a ship routing and scheduling problem for crude oil transportation with split deliveries. The problem is to find an optimal assignment and sequence and loading volume of demand…
Vehicle emissions are affected by factors such as vehicle type, fuel quality, and engine repair. Therefore, mobile source profiles should be established based on a characteristic fleet for a specific region. This study characterised the chemical…
