Using mobile networks for effective cold chain management
(SATNAC, 2014)
Research has shown that substantial in transit
losses in perishable cargo are sustained due to
malpractices in cold chain logistics. Such losses are even
more prevalent in developing countries where supply
chain systems ...
An intelligent freight corridor overload control system
(IEEE, 2014)
Overload control is an important aspect of freight
corridors in developing countries that largely depend on road
transport to move goods between ports and areas of production
and consumption. As the frequent weighing ...
An investigation into the economics of fuel management in the freight logistics industry
(IEEE, 2014)
The transport and logistics industry has to
confront many challenges to achieve the objective of efficient
distributed operations, such as vehicle and cargo traceability
and security. Research has identified effective ...
Neural models for benchmarking of truck driver fuel economy performance
(INSTICC, 2019)
The transport industry is a primary contributor towards emissions that impact climate change. Fuel economy is also of critical importance to the profitability of road freight transport operators. Empirical evidence identified ...
Broadband internet access for rural Africa: finding a viable model
((WSEAS) World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society, 2011)
While cellular communications have grown
exponentially in Africa over the last 10 years, many parts of rural
Africa still lack access to broadband Internet services. The question
is posed whether this market can be ...
Securing number plates based on digital signatures and RFID
(IEEE, 2013)
The automated detection of vehicles forms an important part of Intelligent Transportation Systems. The vehicle number plate is the primary token used for the identification of the vehicle; the number plates industry is ...
Developing multivariate models to predict abnormal stock returns - using cross-sectional differences to identify stocks with above average return expectations
(SCITEPRESS (Science and Technology Publications, Lda.), 2010)
This paper describes the development of multivariate models used to identify stocks with above average return expectations. While most other research involving the development of stock return models involves time-series ...
Improving cold chain logistics through RFID temperature sensing and predictive modelling
(IEEE, 2016)
The global Cold Chain Logistics (CCL) industry has grown in size with significant positive impact on the GDP of many economies. It however stills suffers from poorly managed service level agreements, inadequate cold chain ...
The use of tracking technology for improved management of trade corridors
(IEEE, 2013)
The sub-Sahara African economy is suffering from the inefficient management of trade corridors. Long delays experienced at weigh bridges and border posts are a big contributor towards the slow average movement of freight. ...
Application of data analytics to transport corridor diagnostics and performance benchmarking
(IEEE, 2018)
Increase in exports is essential for economic growth in developing countries. In Southern Africa the development of effective multi-national trade corridors is the single biggest stumbling block to achieve this objective. ...
