Trucking Industry Level Challenges

Infrastructure Issues and Challenges

– Congestion

– Operational inefficiencies

– Non standard trucks

– Under utilization of infrastructure available.

– Supply demand mismatch

Institutional Issues

– Highly Fragmented industry

– Manual, non-uniform or discrete processes across the industry

– Non-availability of Quality manpower

Technological Issues

– Old technology

– Adoption of new technologies is expensive

– No clear Return on Investments for New Technologies

– Manual processes leading to operational inefficiencies

Solutions and Strategies (Largely Capital intensive)

Vehicle Size and Delivery Time Regulations

Load Consolidation and Load Factor Efficiency (Load consolidation, or

co-loading)

Urban Distribution Centers

Freight Villages - Different from urban distribution centers, but similar

in concept. Freight villages are planned unit developments specifically

designed for multi-modal freight transfer within a secured perimeter.

Delivery Tunnels - In Helsinki, freight tunnels for underground trucking

are planned

Dedicated freight corridors – are they really helping urban areas ?

6

Inefficiencies in the current process

Pickup driver has to visit the terminal to collect the list of pickups

Planning for linehaul, cross-docking, resource requirements, delivery

plans etc are not possible till the goods reaches to the terminal

There is no update on the status of delivery till the driver reports back

to the terminal.

This process is time consuming and lead to inefficiencies such as

• missed pickups and missed appointments,

• excessive waiting times during pickups and deliveries

resulting in additional driver hours and under utilization of

trucks

• postponing pickups

• additional kilometers operated by drivers thus additional fuel

consumption and choking of traffic

• no clue on the traffic situation on the network – no route

guidance

7

Solution Components and Business Model

8

• Vehicle Tracking System - Telematics

• Pickup and Delivery Management System – to plan the pickups and

deliveries

• Handheld Mobile devices – Scanner, data logger etc

• Route Planner to generate optimal routes

• Central Server and communication systems

• Transportation Management System

• Platform based solution

From Trucking companies Perspective• Trucking company can register with minimum fee

• Trucking companies can pay as per use

• Opex and No capital investments – Transaction based

• Can withdraw when not required

• No technology skills required

• Improved visibility of shipments, high asset utilisation, less fuel costs and customer satisfaction

From Service Provider perspective• Multiple trucking companies can be hosted on single software platform.

• Other services such as reports, performance indicators can be sold as value added services

From City/Governance perspective• Less Pollution and congestion

• Real time and accurate data for traffic alerts

• Trustworthy and huge volume of data for / Freight Modelling/ infrastructure planning and real time

decisions

Benefits

Overview – An example for Auto Route Generation

9

As-Is Routes

10

Features considered

• Routes are planned for a region.

• A truck will be assigned/reserved

for route

• Static route is generated by the

route planner

• Dispatcher assigns new stops to

the route manually as and when

new orders are to be handled

4 Trucks

Deployed

Total Truck KM 126

Parameters for comparison

To-Be Routes

11

Features considered

• No region based routes

• Routes will be developed as per the

order/stop locations

• Algorithm based route generation

• Optimises the number of trucks required

rather than the truck-km

3 Trucks Deployed

Total Truck KM 135

Parameters for comparison

Data for Analysis

12

Available Data for Analysis

• Driver Data

• Equipment Data

• Order Data

• Trip Data

• Stop Data (including Stop to Stop Distance Data)

Output Expected

• Optimized Route with route parameters

Business Benefits

13

• Reduced P&D Costs (They represent around 30% of total cost in the case of

road based movement)

• Improved Route Planning

• Effective Equipment utilization

• Effective Utilization of Drivers
