Abstract

This paper presents a model for evaluating the effects of logistical matching systems on transport. The logistical matching systems have become popular in the logistics industry. The systems provide a market through the Internet for shippers who offer their goods to be carried and freight carriers who offer a space in their trucks to carry goods. These systems are useful to efficiently use the vacant space in the trucks. The model application to a small road network showed that the systems are effective to reduce the freight transport costs as well as the total running times of pickup/delivery trucks.
