Abstract:
The multi-temperature refrigerated trucks which can transport a variety of goods at the same time, meet the requirement of production and marketing mode of “small production/big market” for Chinese agricultural products. In this paper, the multi-temperature refrigerated trucks with sidewall air duct and bottom return rail were selected to simulate the effect of air outlet locations and wind speed on the flow field of the carriage. The layout of the air outlet location and the wind speed was optimized accordingly.

Abstract:
Fuel cells are widely expected to replace internal combustion engines in vehicles. However, their high initial costs preclude their introduction into the mass market for some time. A new approach is needed that focuses on niche markets. The potential use of fuel cells in auxiliary power units (APUs) on board various types of automobiles and trucks— in luxury passenger automobiles, law enforcement vehicles, contractor trucks, specialized utility trucks, recreational vehicles, refrigerated trucks, and line-haul heavy-duty trucks—is explored. Power requirements, volume and weight targets, costs, market sizes, and potential benefits for several fuel cell technologies and fuels are analyzed. The attributes of market applications are matched with fuel cell attributes to assess the market potential of fuel-cell APUs. Although data are insufficient and more analysis is needed, several market applications apparently could play key roles in introducing fuel cell technologies to the transportation sector.

Abstract:
In order to study the mixed time window vehicle routing optimization problem based on customer priority, a customer differentiation management strategy based on customer priority is proposed. Combined with the main factors affecting customer priority evaluation and the characteristics of vehicle routing problem with mixed time windows, a comprehensive evaluation index affecting customer priority was first established and DBSCAN clustering algorithm was used for clustering analysis of customer priority to solve the optimization problem of cold chain distribution route considering customer priority. Fuzzy time window of refrigerated vehicles was then constructed with trapezoidal fuzzy number, and a mathematical programming model was built with an objective function for minimizing the sum of fixed, green, penalty, refrigeration, and cargo damage costs. Two scenarios of out-of-stock and not-out-of-stock were designed. Finally, an improved genetic algorithm was used to solve the model, and the rationality of the model was verified through a case of imported fruit distribution in Xiamen City. Results showed that the proposed method can effectively solve the routing problem of refrigerated trucks considering customer priority. Moreover, the findings of this study can provide a new approach for solving the routing optimization problem of refrigerated trucks considering customer priority.

Abstract:
In recent years, the energy consumption of vehicles has gained widespread attention due to the increasing importance of energy and environmental issues. Coupled with the explosive demand for vaccines that has spawned the massive deployment of refrigerated trucks, energy savings and efficiency improvement are the goals pursued by pharmaceutical logistics companies while getting the vaccine distribution task done. In order to evaluate the fuel consumption of refrigerated trucks during vaccine distribution, in this paper, we construct a mathematical model for the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) for vaccine distribution with the aim of minimizing the total cost, including fossil fuel cost and penalty cost. Due to the NP-hardness and nonlinearity of the model, a genetic algorithm with a large neighborhood search operator (GA-LNS) and TSP-split encoding method is customized to address the large-scale problem. Numerical experiments show that the algorithm can obtain a near-optimal solution in an acceptable computational time. In addition, the proposed algorithm is implemented to evaluate a case of vaccine distribution in Haidian, Beijing, China. Insights on the effects of seasonal temperature, vehicle speed, driver working hours, and refrigeration efficiency are also presented.

Abstract:
The Refrigerated Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (RCVRP) considers a homogeneous fleet with a refrigerated system to decide the selection of routes to be performed according to customers' requirements. The aim is to keep the energy consumption of the routes as low as possible. We use a thermodynamic model to understand the unloading of products from trucks and the variables' efficiency, such as the temperature during the day influencing energy consumption. By considering various neighborhoods and a shaking procedure, this paper proposes a Granular Tabu Search scheme to solve the RCVRP. Computational tests using adapted benchmark instances from the literature demonstrate that the suggested method delivers high-quality solutions within short computing times, illustrating the refrigeration system's effect on routing decisions.

Full text
Abstract:
This PhD thesis presents a modelling and simulation approach for coupling a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) with a Vapour Absorption Refrigeration System (VARS) specifically for refrigerated trucks. Zero dimensional models were developed for the SOFC and VARS and detailed 1D and 3D models were developed for various components of the system. A major challenge in this work was the thermal coupling of two systems working at entirely different temperature levels. The SOFC operates between 700 oC and 800 oC and the VARS between 150 oC and 200 oC. These two systems were successfully coupled to one another using two methods- indirect coupling, using a thermal coupling fluid and direct coupling, using heat pipes. The concept of using heat pipes has been explored for the first time in a desorber and hence that presents the biggest novelty of this work. Design and modelling of all the components in the VARS is a major project in itself hence in this thesis only the desorber of the VARS was designed and modelled. Two different compact desorbers designs were explored. The first one being a plate heat exchanger desorber and the second one a heat pipe integrated desorber. This work is the first one on the combined use of SOFC and VARS for a mobile application. Such a system, if developed, could also have wider implications in areas besides refrigerated transport.

Abstract:
La préservation de la chaîne du froid est un paramètre particulièrement important dans le cadre de la distribution urbaine, où les fréquentes ouvertures de portes induisent une charge thermique d’infiltration. Afin de réduire les transferts de masse et de chaleur et de protéger l’ouverture, des rideaux d’air ont récemment été installés au niveau de l’ouverture des camions frigorifiques. L’objet de la présente étude est d’étudier ce type confinement. Deux modèles CFD ont été développés pour simuler les champs de températures et de vitesses dans un camion réfrigéré clos. Ils ont permis de montrer que la variation de la vitesse de soufflage ne modifie pas de manière significative la structure des écoulements. Différents conduits d’air sont modélisés. Les résultats numériques montrent que la configuration avec un conduit ouvert améliore fortement le renouvellement d’air. Puis, une étude numérique est réalisée dans le but d’étudier les infiltrations de chaleur et de masse au cours de l’ouverture des portes. Ces écoulements sont bien prédits par le modèle CFD, excepté à la transition entre les deux régimes d’infiltration. Une caisse expérimentale a été équipée d’un dispositif de rideau d’air composé d’un jet ambiant, d’un jet froid ou d’un jet double. En parallèle, un modèle numérique CFD a été développé pour étudier l’influence de différents paramètres. Une bonne concordance entre les résultats numériques et expérimentaux a été observée. L’efficacité du rideau d’air ambiant est maximale lorsque le point d’impact du rideau se situe dans le plan de l’ouverture. Le rideau double maintient efficacement l’homogénéité de la température pour de courtes ouvertures. Le rideau d’air froid est la meilleur configuration, il limite fortement l’augmentation de température de l’enceinte et permet des gains énergétiques importants
Cold chain safety is a key parameter for urban distribution where the frequent door-opening induces a heat infiltration. In order to reduce heat and mass transfer, air curtain have recently been installed to protect the doorway of refrigerated truck. The aim of this work is to study this type of door insulation. Two CFD numerical models were developed to simulate the temperature and velocity fields in a closed refrigerated truck. These models showed that modifying the blowing velocity does not modify the air flow structure inside the cavity. Different air chutes were modelled. Numerical results demonstrate that the configuration with a convergent and an open duct strongly improves the air renewal. A numerical investigation was performed in order to study heat and mass infiltration rates during the opening. The infiltration flow rate is well predicted by the CFD model, except at the transition between both flow regimes. An experimental truck was equipped with an air curtain setup, composed by an ambient air jet, a cold air jet or a double jet. In parallel, a numerical CFD model was developed to study the influence of various parameters. Experimental and numerical results were found to be in good agreement. The maximum efficiency of the ambient air curtain is reached when the impact point of the jet occurs in the door plane at the ground level. This configuration is only relevant for short opening times. The double air curtain efficiently maintains the temperature homogeneity for short openings. The cold air curtain is the best configuration which strongly limits the temperature increase during the opening and allows important energy savings

To explore the cost structure and operational modes of cold boxes and refrigerated trucks based on cold chain logistics characteristics, this study implements cost analysis to analyze and compare the cost of using cold boxes versus refrigerated trucks based on service capacity. Further, semi-structured interviews of industrial professionals are conducted to understand the characteristics of the two items of equipment, as well as the problems encountered by the enterprise in the use of cold chain logistics and the impact or change on management level. The results of this study shows that : (1) The cost of using cold boxes is lower than using refrigerated trucks when the service capacity is low and vice versa. (2) The growth rate of low temperature service capacity affects the adoption of using cold boxes or refrigerated trucks. (3) It is more beneficial for an enterprise to use cold boxes than refrigerated trucks for multi-temperature co-distribution when adopting the strategy of expanding its service scope. (4) It is more cost-effective for an enterprise to use refrigerated trucks than cold boxes when adopting the strategy of increasing the number of services.

Abstract:
The Second-Shifters Filed in slowly on a late Thursday afternoon. From the outside, the factory was a long (nearly a third of a mile), nondescript white box, baking silently in the desert sun of the Ramos Arizpe mountain valley. Inside, it was fairly dark and noisy, with long rows of metal-stamping machines, soldering stations, and assembly lines. Neat green pathways edged with yellow lines, stretching as far as the eye could see, marked the safe routes through. Full-sized and colorful cardboard cutouts of a smiling man and woman greeted workers, highlighting appropriate safety gear. The operators, an even mix of men and women, meandered down the green paths like high school students reluctantly heading to class. There were young men with sagging jeans and others with Def Leppard and Metallica T-shirts. One young man sported a fauxhawk. Another had a pony tail and looked slightly hungover. Many of the women wore tight-fitting jeans, some of them bejeweled. A large number appeared to be in their teens. The factory in Ramos Arizpe—a desiccated and spacious industrial valley just southwest of Monterrey, Nuevo León, and just north of Saltillo, Coahuila—was on a refrigerator continental divide. The Whirlpool, Maytag, and KitchenAid refrigerators they assembled here—including the side-by-side, which had been perfected and popularized by Galesburg’s Admiral plant fifty years earlier—flowed north. The hip and colorful Brastemp side-by-sides shipped south to Brazil. The enormous Whirlpool factory was only seven years old in 2013, but it paled in comparison to the massive Dodge Ram truck plant we visited on the other side of Saltillo. Planta Ensamble Saltillo had its own valley, rigorous security, and produced 220,000 trucks a year in nearly infinite combinations of engine sizes, body types, and colors. It sat next to a Chrysler engine factory and a DHL logistics center, which handled some of the highly complicated sequencing for the massive operation. From the back of an electric cart, we saw Dodge trucks start off as metal pieces, pressed out and shaped by hundreds of enormous robotic arms, jerking precisely from position to position, sending up sparks behind tall metal cages.

Full text
Abstract:
A significant hazard related to the use of stand-up lift trucks, or stand-up forklifts, is the hazard of a lower limb crush injury or foot crush due to the opening across the rear of the operator compartment. According to one lift truck manufacturer’s statistics, there have been over 500 accidents that resulted in an injury to the lower limb of the operator in the last 30 years that involved their stand-up lift trucks. [1] Other manufacturers have had similar accidents. The injuries have occurred to the lower limb of the operator due to the close proximity of the operator’s lower limbs to the exterior of the lift truck, and the confined areas that stand-up lift trucks operate in. The operator’s lower limb can become pinned and crushed between the moving lift and another fixed object such as a rack system, a column or another lift truck. Objects, such as a fork tine, can also intrude into the operator compartment, injuring the operator’s lower extremities. The ANSI/ITSDF B56.1, Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks, encourages stand-up lift trucks to be designed with an open compartment to permit easy ingress and egress. [2] According to the standard, the open design allows an operator a free and easy egress from the truck in the event of a tip-over or off-the-dock accident. However, the standard permits the use of additional guarding and enclosure of the operator compartment. Spring loaded doors (or spring assisted closing guards) have been designed, implemented and are available from many manufacturers, but no data has been published regarding the time to open and egress from the operator compartment. Latching doors have also been designed and manufactured, but are not currently available on the market except in the case of trucks equipped with freezer cabs, for operation in refrigerated environments. However, latched doors have been criticized for extending the egress time duration by approximately 1/2 second. This study shows that a spring loaded door can be implemented on a stand-up forklift while only increasing egress time by a negligible amount, 0.05 seconds over an open compartment configuration. Furthermore, this study shows that an optimized latching door, designed by Knott Laboratory engineers, can also be implemented for a stand-up forklift while only increasing egress time by 0.09 seconds. The latching door designed by Knott Laboratory decreases the change in egress time associated with a latched door by a factor of 5. Therefore, the addition of a spring loaded door, or a latching door will not significantly increase operator egress time and provide additional protection to the operator in the event of a collision while still maintaining quick egress.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this paper was to calculate solar loads and wind chill temperatures on the surfaces of moving refrigerated tractor trailers outfitted with phase change materials (PCMs) for several routes across the Continental United States. As food transportation vehicles, these trucks experience different environmental conditions as they are in motion. The study of PCMs on food transportation vehicles could lead to new findings related to energy conservation. In this research work, a solar model was developed based on synthesized weather data files obtained from the National Solar Radiation Data Base (NSRDB), which contains weather information from 1961 through 1990 for 239 locations (TMY2 data) and weather information from 1991 through 2005 for 1020 locations (TMY3 data). The solar model comprised two parts, data extraction and solar load calculations. The data extraction part separated and picked out the required fields from the TMY data and used them in the solar load calculations program, which was used to estimate the solar loads and wind chill temperatures of every exposed surface of a moving tractor trailer. These solar loads, and wind chill temperatures would then be used in selecting the adequate type of PCMs for a particular route and time of year. In conventional cargo trucks, the refrigeration units are operated by burning fossil fuels, mainly diesel. Therefore, a decrease in refrigeration load would have an impact in fuel consumption and/or in the reduction in size of the refrigeration equipment’s.

Finally, they are delivered by refrigerated truck to the destination. Human errors affect these activities. Perishable products have to be delivered in a suitable quality level to the destination. Because of human errors, sometime products arrive in an unsuitable quality level and therefore, there is a loss for the company. RFID technologies, integrated with time temperature indicators (TTI), allow a prompt detection of abnormal quality loss and the prompt actuation of mitigation actions. In order to evaluate the benefits of different RFID-TTI implementation set-ups, the study defines a methodology that measures the risk of monetary losses. The method is applied to a case study and the results are presented."
