  • Strategic Design for Delivery with Trucks and Drones
    Strategic Design for Delivery with Trucks and Drones James F. Campbell*, Donald C. Sweeney II, Juan Zhang College of Business Administration University of Missouri – St. Louis One University Blvd St. Louis, MO USA Email: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] April 17, 2017 Supply Chain & Analytics Report SCMA-2017-0201 College of Business Administration University of Missouri-St. Louis St. Louis, MO 63121 * Corresponding author Strategic Design for Delivery with Trucks and Drones Abstract Home delivery by drones as an alternative or complement to traditional delivery by trucks is attracting considerable attention from major retailers and service providers (Amazon, UPS, Google, DHL, Wal- mart, etc.), as well as several startups. While drone delivery may offer considerable economic savings, the fundamental issues of how best to deploy drones for home delivery are not well understood. Our research provides a strategic analysis for the design of hybrid truck-drone delivery systems using continuous approximation modeling techniques to derive general insights. We formulate and optimize models of hybrid truck-drone delivery, where truck-based drones make deliveries simultaneously with trucks, and compare their performance to truck-only delivery. Our results suggest that truck-drone delivery can be very advantageous economically in many settings, especially with multiple drones per truck, but that the benefits depend strongly on the relative operating costs and marginal stop costs. 1. Introduction Home delivery by drones is being promoted and researched by a growing number of firms, including Amazon, UPS, Google DHL and Wal-mart, as a possible alternative or complement to traditional delivery by trucks.

  • What Truck Stop Operators Need to Know About Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) by Chad Johnson, [email protected]
    What Truck Stop Operators Need to Know about Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) By Chad Johnson, [email protected] © December 2012 by Gilbarco Inc. SP-3335C Overview Since January 1, 2010, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has required diesel vehicles to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions significantly. Because of the stringent requirement, most trucks have committed to using Selective Catalytic Reduction system (SCR). SCR reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by converting it into harmless nitrogen through the use of a special catalytic converter and a non-explosive, non-toxic, non-flammable, water-based urea solution called Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). As a result of the new EPA regulation, all truck OEMs have been using a form of NOx emission reduction for their fleets since 2010. Two methods have been deployed to meet the stringent requirements: Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) – with SCR having been the most widely used application. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) SCR reduces tailpipe nitrogen oxide emissions by treating the exhaust stream with a spray of DEF, along with a catalyst that converts NOx into nitrogen and water, which are harmless and present in the air. To reduce NOx, a small amount of DEF is injected directly into the exhaust upstream of a catalytic converter. The DEF vaporizes and decomposes to form ammonia (NH3), which in conjunction with the SCR catalyst reacts with NOx to convert the pollutant into nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O). Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) NOx formation is a function of the high combustion temperature in diesel engines. The hotter the combustion temperature, exponentially more NOx is created from oxygen and nitrogen molecules.

  • HOW the NEW REGULATIONS AFFECT YOU United States and Canada
    IDLE TALK: HOW THE NEW REGULATIONS AFFECT YOU United States and Canada Updated: March, 2007 ntil recently, diesel truck idling has been standard operating procedure. But stricter idling regulations are Ubecoming more common in many regions, and more rules are guaranteed. This guide explains the situation and offers a summary of current idling regulations so you and your drivers won’t be caught off-guard. A U.S. state-by-state overview of regulations starts on page 5 of this guide, and a list of Canadian regulations on page 11. For background information on truck idling, emerging regulations and what you can do to comply, read on: NEW INFORMATION, LEGISLATION AND BETTER ALTERNATIVES Engine wear and tear. Fleet owners who track idling time discover that engines designed for moving heavy loads at highway speeds often spend around 50% of their life running systems that require a small fraction of their muscle. Idling a heavy- duty diesel engine to operate lights and an air conditioner drives higher fuel and maintenance costs. Fuel costs. High-priced diesel fuel makes extended idling a high-cost activity worth reducing. A large idling diesel engine can consume up to 1.5 gallons per hour. Regulation. Some people are sensitive to the exhaust that idling diesel engines can produce. Large engines at idle also make a low-frequency rumbling sound that many find objectionable. Under certain conditions, these residual effects of idling could be considered public nuisances making further regulation inevitable. Alternatives. Auxiliary power units (APUs), such as the Cummins ComfortGuard™ APU System, can provide a far less expensive, dependable source of energy for equipment used by a resting or parked trucker, thereby virtually eliminating the need for idling.

Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 29 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency’s aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries’ access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context – particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
