Since its inception in 2013, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become a focal issue in international transportation and global logistics because infrastructure development and economic and transport corridors have been influencing connectivity among countries along the Belt and Road. This paper aims to conduct a literature review on logistics, supply chains, and transport (LST) field in the context of the BRI since 2013. The papers for the literature review were collected from SCI/SSCI/SCIE and Chinese SSCI journals. This paper applies Text Mining to draw key research topics and research networks of the literature and then makes a comparative study between selected 190 English and 198 Chinese papers published in 2013-2020. This paper also investigates and compares the methods applied to those papers. The findings help researchers understand research trends in the LST field and contribute to highlighting research insights for further studies in the LST field.
Shared parking is not commonly applied in residential areas. The reason is that parking suppliers and managers believe that there are many uncertainties and conflicts in obtaining sharing benefits and taking sharing risks. To increase their acceptance of shared parking in residential areas, risk and benefit factors were identified by an influential analysis and a questionnaire survey. A research framework based on the structural equation model was developed to analyze the relationship between shared-parking risks, shared-parking benefits, management pressure, and intentions of parking suppliers and managers. The results showed that, to parking suppliers, the risks of shared parking have the largest effect on suppliers' intention to apply shared parking by a standardized coefficient of −0.85, followed by the benefits of shared parking (0.29), and management pressures (−0.14). To the parking managers, management pressures have the largest effect on managers' intention to apply shared parking by a standardized coefficient of −0.74, followed by the benefits of shared parking (0.52) and risks of shared parking (−0.46). These results can help in increasing parking suppliers' and managers' acceptance of shared parking in residential areas.
A multidepot VRP is solved in the context of total urban traffic equilibrium. Under the total traffic equilibrium, the multidepot VRP is changed to GDAP (the problem of Grouping Customers + Estimating OD Traffic + Assigning traffic) and bilevel programming is used to model the problem, where the upper model determines the customers that each truck visits and adds the trucks' trips to the initial OD (Origin/Destination) trips, and the lower model assigns the OD trips to road network. Feedback between upper model and lower model is iterated through OD trips; thus total traffic equilibrium can be simulated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
