“…Furthermore, the deployment of automated solutions such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) within distribution centers is anticipated to mitigate the challenges posed by escalating labor expenses (Thakur 2022). Telematics and blockchain technologies further augment the efficiency and security of supply chain operations (Ghaffarpasand et al 2022;Idrees et al 2021). Moreover, sustainable packaging and smart packaging solutions offer innovative approaches to reducing environmental impacts and improving operational effectiveness (Coelho et al 2020;Fernandez et al 2023).…”

In recent decades, the importance of transport and logistics companies has increased considerably, especially for Lithuania, where this sector is on the rise and creating benefits for various users. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the economic–financial situation of transport and logistics companies operating in Lithuania, focusing mainly on their financial risk, probability of bankruptcy, and level of solvency. To achieve these results, 416 companies were analysed based on their data from 2022. The employed methodology included descriptive analysis, quartile ratio analysis, the use of Altman’s Z-score model to predict bankruptcy, and, finally, logistic regression analysis to answer the hypotheses. The results show that the companies analysed in this study were highly profitable, with a high level of solvency and liquidity that did not compromise their continuity in the market. These results were confirmed by the Z-score analysis. In addition, it was observed that the age and size of the companies did not affect their survival on the market. This study presents results that are of great interest for the academic literature, as well as for the management of logistics companies. The originality of the study lies in its relevance and timeliness, presenting robust results for different stakeholders, such as policymakers or new entrepreneurs, among others.

“…Vehicle telematics data are mainly collected from the vehicles belonging to drivers who are going to enjoy fairer insurance premiums and so voluntarily share their location data. There are various methods for collecting vehicle telematics data, such as black boxes, driver cell phones, etc., see the review paper of Ghaffarpasand et al [ 50 ]. Recently, Ghaffarpasand and Pope proposed the approach of geospatial and temporal mapping of urban mobility (GeoSTMUM) to convert vehicle telematics (location) data into several urban mobility characteristics, such as the average speed of vehicles, and the percentage of time spent idling, cruising, accelerating, etc.…”

Here, we introduce Traffic Ear, an acoustic sensor pack that determines the engine noise of each passing vehicle without interrupting traffic flow. The device consists of an array of microphones combined with a computer vision camera. The class and speed of passing vehicles were estimated using sound wave analysis, image processing, and machine learning algorithms. We compared the traffic composition estimated with the Traffic Ear sensor with that recorded using an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera and found a high level of agreement between the two approaches for determining the vehicle type and fuel, with uncertainties of 1–4%. We also developed a new bottom-up assessment approach that used the noise analysis provided by the Traffic Ear sensor along with the extensively detailed urban mobility maps that were produced using the geospatial and temporal mapping of urban mobility (GeoSTMUM) approach. It was applied to vehicles travelling on roads in the West Midlands region of the UK. The results showed that the reduction in traffic engine noise over the whole of the study road was over 8% during rush hours, while the weekday–weekend effect had a deterioration effect of almost half. Traffic noise factors (dB/m) on a per-vehicle basis were almost always higher on motorways compared the other roads studied.

“…Their primary aim was to enhance the resilience of urban road systems by tackling challenges like excessive demand, traffic congestion, and various system failures. In turn, Ghaffarpasand et al [42] explored the role of telematics in advancing intelligent transportation systems and enhancing road safety. The study emphasized the potential of telematics in supporting emerging urban mobility technologies, specifically at signalized intersections, within vehicle-to-vehicle communication networks, and in various applications within the realms of the Internet of Things and the Internet of Vehicles.…”

Urban mobility underscores the vital importance of ensuring traffic efficiency on road segments, intersections, and transportation networks, especially in challenging circumstances. In this perspective, the essential approach to improving urban intersection efficiency should involve understanding critical factors for maintaining operational performance in the face of disruptions such as storms. This paper, inspired by a systematic literature review, presents a novel heuristic for evaluating urban intersection efficiency, with resilience as its guiding principle. The methodological path was designed to address the fundamental question: How can urban intersections be designed and managed to ensure efficiency and resilience in the face of disruptions? Drawing inspiration from the Highway Capacity Manual procedure, the methodological approach encompasses both pre-storm and post-storm scenarios, comparing delay times at roundabouts and signalized intersections before and after a storm. The results reveal significant changes in delay times for traffic signals, although the choice between roundabouts and signalized intersections should be context-specific, considering factors like traffic conditions, resilience requirements, and associated trade-offs. By shedding light on the interplay between intersection design, control strategies, and urban resilience, this research provides valuable insights into integrating resilience considerations into intersection performance assessment and management strategies. It also underscores how particular intersection designs can impact efficiency and recovery, essential considerations when assessing whether a road or intersection project is resilient.
