Methodology for Prioritizing Best Practices Applied to the Sustainable Last Mile—The Case of a Brazilian Parcel Delivery Service Company

Sustainability (2022)

Tássia Faria de Assis Victor Hugo Souza de Abreu Mariane Gonzalez da Costa Márcio de Almeida D’Agosto

The ever-increasing impacts of the last mile delivery sector on the environment and the quality of life of the urban population, such as increased congestion, demand best practices to be incorporated by companies to reduce impacts such as emission of air pollutants and Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and depletion of natural resources, among others. However, a myriad of strategies has been developed for this purpose but there is a lack of methodologies that allow the choice of the best ones for a specific case. Therefore, this study looks for those best practices to be employed through an innovative methodology that consists of SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats), a map of strategies of the delivery service, and using the Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), with the differential of considering the peculiarities of each company. The results applied in a Brazilian last mile delivery service company show that best practices such as route optimization, implementation of new infrastructure and business models for urban deliveries, and use of information systems for fleet tracking and monitoring contribute significantly to improving performance indicators and achieving the sector’s goal to become more sustainable, and especially meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 8, 9, 11, and 17.

Modelo de quatro etapas aplicado ao planejamento de transporte de carga

Journal of Transport Literature (2013)

Cristiane Duarte Ribeiro de Souza Márcio de Almeida D’Agosto

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar estudos de planejamento de transporte de carga que utilizam o modelo de quatro etapas, ferramenta capaz de estimar o fluxo de tráfego interzonal, considerando a geração e distribuição de viagens, a escolha modal e a alocação de fluxo, destacando sua abrangência e utilidade em apoiar o desenvolvimento socioeconômico do país. Foi realizada revisão bibliográfica em periódicos indexados, teses, dissertações e relatórios técnicos, selecionando-se 44 trabalhos com destacando para 7 trabalhos que enfocam o modelo de quatro etapas integralmente. Verificou-se que este modelo é versátil, pode ser empregado de forma integral ou parcial, considerando fluxos de unidade de massa ou de veículos, no caso destes últimos diretamente aplicáveis ao dimensionamento de infraestrutura de tráfego, em todos os níveis de abrangência geográfica (de municípios a países), sem limitação do tipo de carga que pode ser transportada por qualquer dos cinco modos de transporte ou suas combinações, configurando ferramenta de planejamento estratégico e apoio ao desenvolvimento socioeconômico do país.

IDENTIFICAÇÃO DE BOAS PRÁTICAS APLICADAS AO TRANSPORTE SUSTENTÁVEL URBANO DE CARGA: IDENTIFICATION OF BEST PRACTICES FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN FREIGHT TRANSPORT

Tássia Faria de Assis Victor Hugo Souza de Abreu Márcio de Almeida D’Agosto

Transport decision makers face serious challenges in trying to make urban freight transport efficient and sustainable. Therefore, it is necessary to identify best practices that seek to promote sustainability in freight transportation. Thus, this paper seeks to identify these best practices, as well as their main advantages and disadvantages, through literature review. As a result of this research, there is the consolidation of a set of 18 best practices related to urban freight transport, which can be taken by private companies, both for shippers and transport operators, who seek to increase the sustainability of their operations. However, it is emphasized that it is necessary to use decision-making mechanisms to identify best practices for implementation according to the potentialities and difficulties of each company.

Best Practices to Support the Transition towards Sustainable Logistics from the Perspective of Brazilian Carriers

Sustainability (2023)

Tássia Faria de Assis Lino Guimarães Marujo Victor Hugo Souza de Abreu Mariane Gonzalez da Costa Leonardo Mangia Rodrigues

Given the shifts in consumer demands, the business environment, and the various economic, competitive, and environmental challenges faced by transportation companies, sustainable logistics is gaining increasing recognition as a crucial aspect for consideration. With these factors in mind, this paper seeks to outline the optimal approaches embraced by transportation companies in Brazil, evaluate the extent to which these practices have been implemented, and propose a method for assisting the adoption of a course of implementation action that supports decision makers in the effort to choose the best practices aligned with the degree of maturity of sustainable practices adopted by the assessed companies. The outcomes of this study present a valuable blueprint for transporters, especially those in the initial phases of incorporating sustainable logistics practices, as they endeavor to conform to industry norms and enhance their overall sustainability.

Modelo de previsão de oferta e demanda de bioetanol hidratado para apoio ao planejamento estratégico de transportes no Brasil

Journal of Transport Literature (2013)

Marcelino Aurélio Vieira da Silva Márcio de Almeida D’Agosto

O presente trabalho propõe um procedimento para analisar e estimar a demanda e oferta de bioetanol no Brasil, buscando testar a frota dedicada a bioetanol como principal variável explicativa e analisando os erros com a técnica de cointegração com objetivo de se evitar a presença de regressões espúrias na modelagem. Foi possível verificar que os modelos elaborados se mostraram adequados para previsões a longo prazo para o Brasil e para os estados apenas a curto prazo.

Evaluation of Best Practices Introduction for the Managerial Improvement in Urban Freight Transport

Emerald Publishing Limited eBooks (2018)

Cíntia Machado de Oliveira Márcio de Almeida D’Agosto Daniel Neves Schmitz Gonçalves Renata Albergaria de Mello Bandeira George Vasconcelos Góes

The last mile of parcel deliveries is a key process to service providers, with global costs that reach up to 70 billion euros per year. Moreover, due to urban population growth and to the rise of e-commerce, the importance of last-mile deliveries and its impacts to the environment and quality of life in cities tend to increase even more. This chapter proposes a more comprehensive methodology to assess alternative last-mile distribution strategies in terms of environmental and economic aspects and presents an application to the distribution of a postal company located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We evaluated the use of small electric vehicles (i.e., tricycles) in the last mile deliveries by assessing two scenarios: (1) the baseline scenario using a light commercial vehicle and (2) a scenario using electric tricycles. Results indicated that the use of electric tricycle is a more feasible alternative regarding the economic and environmental aspects as well as to maintain the service level of the company.

SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSFORMATION:

MIX Sustentável (2024)

Victor Hugo Souza de Abreu Márcio de Almeida D’Agosto Lino Guimarães Marujo

The integration of electric mobility with Smart Grids represents a transformative strategy for the development of sustainable urban systems, characterized by a reduced carbon footprint and high energy efficiency. This article carries out a systematic review with a bibliometric approach on the intersection between these two concepts, exploring not only the operational and environmental advantages, but also the social and economic implications of this synergy in building smart cities. The results indicate that the combination of electric mobility and Smart Grids is a rapidly growing area of study, with a significant increase in publications in high-impact scientific journals. Authors from globally renowned institutions have contributed to the consolidation of this field of research, reinforcing its relevance in the context of sustainable urban policies. Furthermore, an analysis of the literature reveals that Smart Grids, by incorporating new communication and information technologies, not only enable the large-scale adoption of electric mobility, but also promote the integrated and efficient management of urban infrastructure. This interconnectivity between systems allows for better optimization of the use of resources, as well as supporting the transition to more sustainable and resilient urban mobility.
