“…Findings from studies carried out in most sub-Saharan Africa cities suggest that recent changes in economic fortunes of city dwellers have a significant effect on the transportation systems, particularly on automobile dependency. This expulsion in the numbers of vehicles on urban routes without corresponding provision of new urban road facilities has increased rather than reduced the region's urban transport problems [3,6,7].…”

Background:This paper filled an important gap in the on-going global assessment of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operations on Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) safety outcomes on corridors plied.Introduction:The work carried out a scientific investigation of the impact of Lagos BRT-Lite(Africa’s first and only BRT scheme) on the achievement of a possible reduction in the incidences of RTC on the 22-kilometer radial highway that connects Mile12 and Lagos Island the traditional central business district.Methodology:Secondary data on the incidences of RTC on the corridor between 2002 and 2013 were obtained from Nigeria Police. One-way Analysis of variance between subjects revealed that the advent of BRT operations on the corridor do not have any significant effect in the reported cases of the three categories of RTC examined. Minor (p=. 783), Serious (p= .887) and Fatal (p= .826).Data Analysis:Descriptive statistics, however, showed that there has been a general reduction in the incidences of all categories of RTC considered in the period after the commencement of BRT on the corridor.Conclusion:The paper concludes by positing that while it might be far-fetched to imply a direct causal relationship between the introduction of BRT and reduction in the cases of RTC on the corridor, it may not be far to suggest that it has definitely impacted safety outcomes as it relates to RTC.

“…Potential cost savings, improvement of total benefits, optimization of operations (e.g. optimize transportation), and delivery time reduction are the most common quantitative benefits according to this SLR (Gaudreault et al, 2011;Lehoux et al, 2014;Yoshida & Kohroki, 2019;Ajayi, 2016). While deepening commitment, long-term relationship, better planning behaviour, and improvement of environmental performance are the most common benefits among the qualitative benefits (Reis-Silva & Carrizo-Moreira, 2018; Robitaille et al, 2017;Hisjam et al, 2015;Ogunwusi & Olife, 2012).…”

International competition, particularly in the forest products industry, is constantly increasing; even the largest companies have had to adapt to keep their market share. A successful strategy, for enterprises to remain competitive, is to establish collaborations with other business entities in order to access new markets and satisfy customer demand. The goal of this paper is to investigate the relevance of collaboration in the forest products industry via a systematic literature review method and explore the proposed collaboration mechanisms, main drivers, benefits, facilitators, and challenges of collaboration. A total of 70 articles were reviewed and results demonstrate the importance of collaboration in the forest products industry. Joint practices and contractual and economic practices are among the most popular collaboration mechanisms identified. Furthermore, lack of trust and developing a win-win collaboration condition seem to be the key challenges in this industry. On the other hand, cost based strategy, sustainability and environmental performance, and competition are among the principal drivers and benefits faced by the sector. Finally, financial incentives, bonuses and subsidies are the most important facilitators. A framework for inter-firm collaboration in the forest products supply chain is proposed in order to help firms identify the best-fit collaborative mechanisms for their particular collaborative initiative.
