Operations Research for green logistics - An overview of aspects, issues, contributions and challenges (2011, background): “Blauwens et al. (2006) and Hoen et al. (2010) elaborate the inventory aspects in making mode choices with environmental objectives and carbon caps. Palmer (2007) introduces these objectives in vehicle routing models. Hoen et al. (2010) study mode choices under several types of emission caps.”
Cost, carbon emissions and modal shift in intermodal network design decisions (2015, background): “We refer to Blauwens et al. (2006) for an example exploring the impacts of such policy measures from the shipper’s perspective.”
Effect of carbon emission regulations on transport mode selection in supply chains (2010, background): “Blauwens et al. (2006) investigate the effect of policy measures on modal shift, where the aim is to move away from road transport because of congestion.”
Decarbonizing intraregional freight systems with a focus on modal shift (2018, background): “as a valuable approach [164, 254], in particular the combination of cost increases for road transport with decreases in lead time of intermodal transport [210].”
Carbon footprint and responsiveness trade-offs in supply chain network design (2015, background): “As Blauwens et al. (2006) explain, the crux of the inventory theoretic approach lies in the fact that explicit attention is paid to all costs in the supply chain that are affected by the choice of transport mode.”
