Modelling Airline Operations at Major Commercial Airports for Strategic Decision Support

L. Douglas Smith, Canser Bilir

Transportation Development Research · 6-19 · 10.55121/tdr.v1i1.101

The authors discuss an integrated modelling approach for improving flight operations at major commercial airports. Statistical models, built with microdata from hundreds of thousands of flights, are embedded in a process-oriented discrete-event simulation model with two-dimensional geo-spatial characteristics and logical structu

Last-Mile Logistics Optimization in West Africa: A Machine Learning-Driven Case Study of Ghana and Burkina Faso

Eugene Ansah Owusu Ampaw, Qin Jin, Maxwell Ako Owusu-Ampaw, Isaac Richard Malan

Transportation Development Research · 40-51 · 10.55121/tdr.v3i2.435

In Sub-Saharan Africa, the emergence of e-commerce and the rising population of cities is placing novel strain on logistics systems. The efficiency of last-mile delivery (LMD) is an important factor for improving the economic output and sustainable development of cities, particularly in fast urban development areas. This study i

Integrating 5PL Frameworks with Drone-Based Last-Mile Delivery: A Model for Future-Ready Logistics

Tejinder Singh Lakhwani

Transportation Development Research · 27-45 · 10.55121/tdr.v3i1.449

The rapid evolution of logistics service providers from 1PL to 5PL has underscored the growing need for intelligent, data-driven orchestration across the supply chain. Simultaneously, drone-based delivery has emerged as a promising solution to last-mile challenges, particularly in urban congestion zones and infrastructure-defici

Enhancing Road Safety and Network Intelligence through Vehicleto-Everything (V2X) Communication: Architectures, Models, and Performance Analysis

Qutaiba Ibrahim Ali, Hussein M. Mohammed

Transportation Development Research · 1-13 · 10.55121/tdr.v3i1.426

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication is a transformative and rapidly advancing paradigm that enables real-time, bidirectional data exchange between vehicles, infrastructure, pedestrians, and broader network systems using wireless technologies. As urban mobility becomes more complex and traffic congestion, collision rates, a
