20.500.12556/DKUM-69010 Estimating truck operating costs for domestic trips case studies from Greece The transport sector represents a vital component of national economies and has significant impacts on productivity and social welfare. In 2012, the transport sector in Europe was estimated to account for 3.7% of the European Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 5.1% for employment. Road transport proves to be the predominant mode for moving goods within Europe holding a share of approximately 45.8% in 2012 (in ton-kms). In Greece, the share of road freight transport is significantly higher (98%) indicating the importance of this sector for the Greek economy. To this end and considering the existing needs of road freight transport operators in Greece, the objective of this research is to establish an analytical and documented basis for estimating the operating cost of a truck on specific urban or national freight transport routes. To achieve this goal, an extended literature review has been conducted resulting in the identification of the main components comprising the total truck operating cost, which were then updated and validated through a series of personal interviews with selected road freight transport professionals. An excel-based application tool was also developed in order to facilitate operating cost estimates for different cases, through selection of the proper values of the relevant parameters. The resulting tool was used to analyse four test cases, which demonstrate the tool’s usability and applicability. Results from this analysis have been also validated by industry experts and they reflect real-world transport scenarios. cost calculation tool road freight transport truck operating costs orodje za izračun stroškov cestni tovorni promet stroški obratovanja tovornjakov true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2017-11-17 11:31:16 2017-11-17 11:31:58 2023-07-21 11:46:29 2019-07-11 17:18:00 2015 0 0 str. 41-49 št. 1 Letn. 6 2015 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2232-4968 259554560 134557443 10.1515/jlst-2015-0010 2232-4968 URN:SI:UM:DK:ZCAK74EM Logistics_&_Sustainable_Transport_2015_Sdoukopoulos,_Boile,_Anagnostopoulou_Estimating_Truck_Operating_Costs_for_Domestic_Trips_–_Case_S.pdf Logistics_&_Sustainable_Transport_2015_Sdoukopoulos,_Boile,_Anagnostopoulou_Estimating_Truck_Operating_Costs_for_Domestic_Trips_–_Case_S.pdf 1 A69D61E2747DAB64BE17ED8C1E895E96 19b03e2a2357146eae6fa90c2cc9d133a88590e3bae9ad00f95a5883c957e200 81182432-7c0f-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca 20.500.12556/dkum/e4539f23-2f90-448d-86d3-7cca9bb85cf2 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=120368 https://sciendo.com/article/10.1515/jlst-2015-0010 0 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=120367 Fakulteta za logistiko Logistics, supply chain, sustainability and global challenges 0 0 0
