Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many terminals that are located in large ports, such as Port of Rotterdam, Port of Singapore, Port of Hamburg, etc. employ various emerging digital technologies to handle container and information. Some technologies deemed attractive by large ports are: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT). The objective of this paper is to review the “state-of-the-art” of scientific literature on digital technologies that facilitate operations management for container terminal logistics. The studies are synthesized in form of a classification matrix and analysis performed. The primary studies consisted of 57 papers, out of the initial pool of over 2100 findings. Over 94% of the publications identified focused on AI; while 29% exploited IoT and Cloud Computing technologies combined. The research on Blockchain within the context of container terminal was nonexistent. Majority of the publications utilized numerical experiments and simulation for validation. A large amount of the scientific literature was dedicated to resource management and scheduling of intra-logistic equipment/vessels or berth or container storage in the yard. Results drawn from the literature survey indicate that various research gaps exist. A discussion and an analysis of review is presented, which could be of benefit for stakeholders of small-medium sized container terminals.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Purpose / ValueThe concept of Blockchain technology in supply chain management is well discussed, yetinadequately theorized in terms of its applicability, especially within the maritime industry,which forms a fundamental node of the entire supply chain network. More so, the assumptivegrounds associated with the technology have not been openly articulated, leading to unclearideas about its applicability.Design/methodology/approachThe research is designed divided into two Stages. This paper (Stage one) enhancedliterature review for data collection in order to gauge the properties of the Blockchaintechnology, and to understand and map those characteristics with the Bill of Ladingprocess within maritime industry. In Stage two an online questionnaire is conducted toassess the feasibility of Blockchain technology for different maritime use-cases.FindingsThe research that was collected and analysed partly from deliverable in theConnect2SmallPort Project and from other literature suggests that Blockchain can be anenabler for improving maritime supply chain. The use-case presented in this paper highlightsthe practicality of the technology. It was identified that Blockchain possess characteristicssuitable to mitigate the risks and issues pertaining to the paper-based Bill of Lading process.Research limitationsThe study would mature further after the execution of the Stage Two. By the end of bothStages, a framework for Blockchain adoption with a focus on the maritime industry wouldbe proposed.Practical implicationsThe proposed outcome indicated the practicality of technology, which could be beneficialfor the port stakeholders that wish to use Blockchain in processing Bill of Lading orcontracts.Social implicationsThe study may influence the decision makers to consider the benefits of using the Blockchaintechnology, thereby, creating opportunities for the maritime industry to leverage thetechnology with government’s support.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present results from a simulation study, whichwas designed for investigating the potential positive impacts, i.e., the invoicing and processing time, and financial savings,when using an electronic waybill instead of paper waybillsfor road-based freight transportation. The simulation modelis implemented in an experiment for three different scenarios,where the processing time for waybills at the freight loadingand unloading locations in a particular scenario differs fromother scenarios. The results indicate that a saving of 65%–99%in the invoicing time can be achieved when using an electronicwaybill instead of paper waybills. Our study can be helpful todecision makers, e.g., managers and staff dealing with paperwaybills, to estimate the potential benefits when making deci-sions concerning the implementation of an electronic waybillsolution for replacing paper waybills.

Designing Electronic Waybill Solutions for Road Freight Transport
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In freight transportation, a waybill is an important document that contains essential information about a consignment. The focus of this thesis is on a multi-purpose electronic waybill (e-Waybill) service, which can provide the functions of a paper waybill, and which is capable of storing, at least, the information present in a paper waybill. In addition, the service can be used to support other existing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services by utilizing on synergies with the existing services. Additionally, information entities from the e-Waybill service are investigated for the purpose of knowledge-building concerning freight flows.A systematic review on state-of-the-art of the e-Waybill service reveals several limitations, such as limited focus on supporting ITS services. Five different conceptual e-Waybill solutions (that can be seen as abstract system designs for implementing the e-Waybill service) are proposed. The solutions are investigated for functional and technical requirements (non-functional requirements), which can potentially impose constraints on a potential system for implementing the e-Waybill service. Further, the service is investigated for information and functional synergies with other ITS services. For information synergy analysis, the required input information entities for different ITS services are identified; and if at least one information entity can be provided by an e-Waybill at the right location we regard it to be a synergy. Additionally, a service design method has been proposed for supporting the process of designing new ITS services, which primarily utilizes on functional synergies between the e-Waybill and different existing ITS services. The suggested method is applied for designing a new ITS service, i.e., the Liability Intelligent Transport System (LITS) service. The purpose of the LITS service isto support the process of identifying when and where a consignment has been damaged and who was responsible when the damage occurred. Furthermore, information entities from e-Waybills are utilized for building improved knowledge concerning freight flows. A freight and route estimation method has been proposed for building improved knowledge, e.g., in national road administrations, on the movement of trucks and freight.The results from this thesis can be used to support the choice of practical e-Waybill service implementation, which has the possibility to provide high synergy with ITS services. This may lead to a higher utilization of ITS services and more sustainable transport, e.g., in terms of reduced congestion and emissions. Furthermore, the implemented e-Waybill service can be an enabler for collecting consignment and traffic data and converting the data into useful traffic information. In particular, the service can lead to increasing amounts of digitally stored data about consignments, which can lead to improved knowledge on the movement of freight and trucks. The knowledge may be helpful when making decisions concerning road taxes, fees, and infrastructure investments.

- Port Logistical Supply chains play a very important role in society. Their complex and adaptive behaviours promote the suggested applications of combining a multiagent system with blockchain for solving complex problems. Several technologies have been proven positively to work in logistics, however the concept of combining converging technologies such as blockchain with deep reinforcement multi agent is viewed as a novel approach to solving the complexity that is associated with many facets of logistics. A simulator was developed and tested for the problem of container stacking. The simulation results indicate a more robust approach to currently used tools and methods. © Harbor, Maritime and Multimodal Logistics Modeling and Simulation, HMS 2019.All Rights Reserved.

- Augmented reality (AR) is the technology that works on computer vision based recognition algorithms to augment sound, video, graphics and other sensor based inputs and real world objects using the camera of your device. AR applications can become the backbone of education industry. Apps are being developed which are embed text, images and videos, as well as the real-world curriculums. With help of AR, travellers can access real-time information of historical places just by pointing their camera viewfinder to subjects. There are two major forms of augmented reality, marker-based AR and markerless AR. A marker based AR works on concept of target recognition. The target can be 3D object, text, image, QR Code or human-face called markers. Whereas marker-less AR, also known as location-based AR, uses GPS of mobile devices to record the device position and displays information relative to that location. Few drawbacks in marker-less AR like house resolution, size variation and time delay can be solved using marker based algorithms such as marker detection, triangle similarity for marker to camera distance and corner detection.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Hand gestures and Deep Learning Strategies can be used to control a virtual robotic arm for real-time applications. A robotic arm which is portable to carry various places and which can be easily programmed to do any work of a hand and is controlled by using deep learning techniques. Deep hand is a combination of both virtual reality and deep learning techniques. It estimated the active spatio-temporal feature and the corresponding pose parameter for various hand movements, to determine the unknown pose parameter of hand gestures by using various deep learning algorithms. A novel framework for hand gestures has been made to estimate by using a deep convolution neural network (CNN) and a deep belief network (DBN). A comparison in terms of accuracy and recognition rate has been drawn. This helps in analyzing the movement of a hand and its fingers which can be made to control a robotic arm with high recognition rate and less error rate. © 2017 The authors and IOS Press.

LNG bunkering stations location optimization on basis graph theory
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Transport Means - Proceedings of the International Conference. - : Kaunas University of Technology. ; , s. 660-664

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- As an alternative to traditional fuel and energy source LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) has many advantages, such as lower emissions while providing a means of energy for trucks, trains and ships. In focusing on the maritime transport sector the reasons for using LNG make a convincing business case, but lead to many discussions on LNG investments. The key issue has been is: “should investment be implemented first on LNG bunkering stations and then wait for the market to build ships to use the facilities or should investment wait until there is a demand?” Obviously, this creates a “chicken-and-egg” situation on when and where to invest for LNG use to take place. The initial experiences in using LNG in maritime and road transport suggest that the transport firms often take the risk themselves by not only investing into the transport units (ships, trucks) themselves but also invest into the infrastructure as well, e.g., developing LNG bunkering facilities. At the same time with these large initial investments for developing LNG bunkering networks there are more and more requests for identifying optimal solutions, often are based on real LNG fuel demand in ports and on the roads. This paper is oriented on the study for optimal bunkering network creation, which is argued to help with improved efficiency in the supply of LNG fuel to transport users. In addition, optimal investments for LNG bunkering networks can be realized. © 2018 Kaunas University of Technology. All rights reserved.

Ingår i: Transport Means - Proceedings of the International Conference. - : Kaunas University of Technology. ; , s. 762-765
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The increasing demand for Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) is causing many challenges for users and suppliers worldwide. Though there is strong interest in using LNG, the research published in this paper indicates there are challenges in developing adequate delivery and distribution chains within the supply chain. Ideally, LNG distribution chains should be created on the basis of user demands and need. In this paper we have articulated an optimisation model that considers the various potential users and their characteristics in order to identify if possibilities and prospects exist in developing an adequate LNG supply chain. The case study of Lithuania and Latvia serves as a model from which we are able to use our tool to help identify the factors for success in creating such LNG supply chains. © 2017 Kaunas University of Technology.
