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.

Abstract:

The cold chain—the system of refrigerated storage and transport that provides fresh produce or other essentials to be maintained at desired temperatures and environmental conditions—is responsible for substantial energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and failures in the cold chain lead to food and energy waste. Here, we introduce the mini container concept as an alternative to conventional reefers, particularly for small growers. Mini containers are relatively small, insulated boxes, with environmental conditions controlled by an electric-powered central driving unit, which can be aggregated as needed and transported by non-refrigerated trucks and trailers. We analyze the energy consumption and GHG emissions for the transport of tomatoes in two cities representing contrasting climates, Phoenix, Arizona, and Chicago, Illinois, for conventional reefers and the proposed mini containers. These two cities provide the opportunity to compare the energy consumption and GHG emissions for the proposed mini containers versus conventional refrigerated transport under extremely different climate conditions. The results show that, as expected in both cases, as the ambient air temperature increases, the energy consumption and GHG emissions also increase. For partial reefer loads less than 72% and 85% for Phoenix and Chicago, respectively, the use of the mini containers reduces energy consumption and GHG emissions because of the reduced volume requiring refrigeration. In general, since the mini containers are fully electrified, their corresponding GHG emissions can be dramatically reduced, and since the fresh produce can be pre-cooled with renewable energy, GHG emissions can even be eliminated.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this research communication the genetic diversity of Pseudomonas fluorescens (n = 67) and Pseudomonas putida (n = 44) isolated from refrigerated raw milk from bulk tank trucks were verified. The relationship between the genetic profile of the isolates and their lipoproteolytic potential was evaluated using skim milk agar and tributyrin agar (21°C/72 h). The lipoproteolytic potential (low or high), evaluated by the diameter of the halos (cm), was correlated with the number of milk producing properties that contributed to each sample (one sample = one bulk tank truck; 8−80 producers/sample) and the distance between the dairy properties and the processing plant (21−370 km). P. fluorescens was confirmed in all samples, while P. putida in 60% samples. For both species, two clusters (I and II) were observed, and the first one showed lower genotypic diversity and the presence of isolates with 100% similarity. P. fluorescens isolates presenting at least 70% similarity were 83.9% in Cluster I (n = 31) and 44.4% in Cluster II. In both clusters (I and II) observed in the P. fluorescens dendrogram, the occurrence of high proteolytic and lipolytic potential were equivalent. The higher the number of farms per milk sample, the greater the lipoproteolytic intensity of P. fluorescens isolates. In relation to P. putida isolates, 74% presented at least 50% similarity in Cluster I (n = 27) and only 35% in Cluster II (n = 17). The occurrence of high proteolysis linked to P. putida was proportional between both Clusters, but the occurrence of high lipolysis was greater in Cluster II. No significant association was detected between P. putida isolates and the variables studied. The results indicate the circulation of P. putida and P. fluorescens with 100% similarity in different milk producing regions. The level of genetic diversity was related only to the lipolytic capacity of P. putida.

Abstract:

Given the increasing demand for fresh food quality, fresh food plants must manage not only product cost but more importantly the product quality. The transportation requirements for fresh food delivery have been continuously increasing. The purpose of this paper is to develop a method to ensure that fresh food can be delivered just in time and with minimum total cost while maintaining the quality of fresh food. Considering that fresh food plants need multiple trucks to deliver multiple products to numerous geographically dispersed customers, the delivery of fresh food is considered in two stages in our study. The first stage is cluster consumers; that is, we determine to which consumers each truck is responsible for delivery. The second stage, which is based on the consumer grouping results, develops a total cost model that includes the transportation, refrigerated, devalued, and penalty costs incurred during distribution. This model is used to determine the optimal route selection, the temperature control, and the average speed of each truck in distribution. This paper designs decision variables based on a customer’s seven requirement attributes; it also proposes a fuzzy clustering method for grouping customers and improves a fuzzy genetic algorithm that is used to solve the proposed total cost model. The application of the proposed method is demonstrated using an example. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance than that of a traditional genetic algorithm. This research work provides an optimal distribution total cost decision method for the logistics managers. This research also provides an effective means to ensure the safety of fresh food.

Abstract:

Data are lacking on the temperature changes of food during transport without the use of refrigerated trucks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of several insulated and noninsulated containers with or without frozen gel packs to keep perishable and refrigerated foods within the temperature safe zone in relationship to duration of transport. The study was designed to duplicate the practices exhibited by customers purchasing perishable food products from a cash-and-carry business. Approximately 40 perishable food items were evaluated. Four types of containers were tested: a mylar foil bag, a commercial insulated bag, a generic insulated bag, and a commercial insulated blanket. Mixed foods were placed into these containers with or without frozen gel packs, transported in unrefrigerated vehicles, and monitored for 4 h for temperature changes. Two environmental temperatures, room temperature of 21.1°C and a stress temperature of 37.8°C, were evaluated. The internal temperature and surface temperature of the food products in these containers increased slowly but remained well below the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Food Code requirements. The various containers were similar in their ability to retain coolness. The presence of frozen gel packs dramatically enhanced the cold-holding capacity of the containers. The temperature of foods increased more rapidly when stressed in a heated environment. The containers tested used with the frozen gel packs can keep the surface and internal temperatures of various perishable foods (starting at 4.4°C or less) within the Food Code recommendation of under 21.1°C for 4 h. Cash-and-carry businesses should strongly encourage their retail customers to utilize these containers with frozen gel packs to safely transport perishable foods.

Abstract:

This work studies the viability of intermodal transport of horticultural products from southeast Spain to the rest of Europe. This sector has an exportation turnover of 4100 million € and accounts for 69% of total Spanish exports and 35% of the consumption of vegetables in the European Union. The transportation services for the sector are carried out entirely by refrigerated trucks. Due to increased cost, transit limitations, and the strategic dependence on only one transport mode, it is necessary to seek out alternative logistics formulas. In this sense, intermodal transport could be a good option as it can reduce cost and the environmental impact of transport. This paper analyzes the problems involved in using intermodality by conducting a survey among exporters with the additional goal of looking for viable routes using road + short sea shipping. The impact of the transport modal shift on exports is also analyzed using a gravity model. The results show that the route from southeast Spain to the United Kingdom is the most viable. What is more, this strategy can increase exports to this country by reducing transport costs. In general, intermodality can help improve the competitiveness of the Spanish horticultural export sector.

Abstract:

Purpose – Monitoring the real-time temperature, humidity, and physical position status of goods is vital in the cold chain. Diverse logistics technologies and systems have been adopted in the cold chain for monitoring perishable goods. However, these technologies and systems are independent from each other. Data and information in them are not integrated so that information control is not effective. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – By integrating Internet of Things and tracking technologies, this paper proposes an intelligent tracking system, which is designed to achieve effective and fast live monitoring of goods in the cold chain at the lowest cost and with the largest network capacity and simplest protocols. Findings – Structure and information platform design mechanism are introduced. The key part of this system is a wireless sensor network built on Zigbee. Wireless sensors located in cold storages or refrigerated trucks are able to collect and transmit live data quickly and efficiently. Originality/value – Users of the proposed system can easily monitor goods transported in cold chains. In addition, the system assigns specific servers to save historical data for inquiries.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the current state of the theory and practice of solving the issues related to the delivery of perishable goods by road. The author has determined that in order to improve the efficiency of cargo delivery, one of the promising directions is the development and application of transport delivery schemes, which take into account the change in consumer characteristics of perishable goods during transportation. Product losses during transportation must be taken into account when solving such problems as justifying the expediency of specialized rolling stock, choosing the method of transportation without transshipment, as well as when choosing the most rational delivery schemes. Losses of cargo are usually accounted for by the value of the actual losses and the value of the cargo. The article proposes the use of three schemes for the delivery of perishable cargo. The schemes differ in the way cargo is collected and the way goods are loaded into trucks. Also different are the types of vehicles that can be used in the delivery of goods under different schemes. The first scheme consists of the harvesting of peaches between the rows of the orchard by small tractors. The advantage of this scheme is the possibility of using heavy-duty vehicles with the achievement of maximum use of the capacity factor. Flatbed trucks are used for transportation. As a result of the accumulation of cargo at the point of loading, downtime is reduced by reducing the waiting time of cargo delivery. The second scheme is the need for in-line loading of vehicles in the fields of enterprises. Prefabricated routes for trucks and direct loading in the field are used. Application of the second scheme excludes the possibility of using heavy transport, because the movement will be made on unpaved roads. The need for in-line loading also eliminates the use of loading and unloading mechanisms. The third delivery scheme is similar to the first, but it is proposed to use specialized vehicles with a refrigerated chamber for transportation. As criterion of assessment of expediency of use of the offered schemes total expenses for cargo delivery are accepted taking into account possible losses from cargo damage, on the offered criterion it is expedient to estimate influence of such parameters, as volume of the cargo presented for transportation and length of the route.

Abstract:

A new refrigerant is needed because the GWP of the R404A and R134a that are used in existing refrigerated trucks and automotive air conditioners is so high. This study predicts cooling performance by using an analytical model, for refrigeration systems using R404A and R134a. Furthermore, the performances of those systems were compared with those of alternative refrigeration systems using R1234yf and R744. The performance data of the analytical model had a trend similar to that of the experimental data: the average error between the analytical and experimental results was within 5.4%. The frost thickness of the R404A system for all operating conditions was about 2.4–3.7% larger than that of other systems because the evaporating temperature of the R404A system was lower than that for other refrigerants. For various operating conditions, the coefficient of performance (COP) of the R134a system was higher than that of other systems, while the R744 system showed the lowest performance. However, the COP reduction of the R744 system with operating time was the smallest because the thermodynamic properties of R744 were very superior. In addition, the frost thickness was seriously affected by the variations of indoor air temperature and compressor rotation speeds, and the system performance decreased significantly for severe operating conditions.

Abstract:

The sight of a large number of refrigerated trucks with ready-to-cook (RTC) food loaded into them to assist the homemaker was a fascinating scene in the premises of the fast-growing fresh food company iD Fresh Food in Bangalore. The person who shaped his identity through a new-age food start-up brand iD Fresh was Mr. P.C. Musthafa (PC). Resisting all odds in his life, he dared to venture into RTC Indian cuisine ingredients like idly, 1 dosa batter, 2 and made it an extraordinary homemaker experience. The thought of making branded and hygienic batter struck Musthafa and his cousins while sitting in their grocery store when they noticed the batter from an external supplier ran out of stock several times. Moreover, there were hygiene and quality complaints about the product. This provoked them to start their own idly–dosa batter business to provide hygienic, 100% natural RTC batter without any preservatives, chemicals or artificial flavours. Therefore, in 2005, they decided to give it a try with an initial investment of Indian Rupees (INR) 50,000. PC was not satisfied with the growth from INR 2 million to INR 2,400 million. He and his team are visualizing to reach INR 10 billion by 2023–2024 and want to become the most sought-after brand worldwide. With an untapped market potential of 90% in India, its products are currently sold across fifteen cities in India, UAE and the United States. Despite this, they plan to expand their business to North America, Europe and Asia in the next 5 years. Hence, the founder was contemplating various options for their growth strategies to venture into foreign markets.

The outbreak of insurgency in Maiduguri in 2009 and the subsequent targeted attacks on the lives and property of innocent civilians including livestock farmers has had a severe disruptive effect on Agriculture in northeast Nigeria. Efforts aimed at economic recovery and rehabilitation of the conflict ravaged regions requires information and an understanding of how the insurgency affected the communities so that aid aimed at financial inclusion could be appropriately directed. Thus, this study was designed to highlight the traditional feedlot cattle management in Maiduguri. The price of the cattle and feed materialsas well as profit in 2008 and 2015 were compared. It was found that the preferred choice of feedlot cattle is the non- indigenous Ambala cattle breed. Compared with 2008, the cost of the bulls and feed materials had significantly increased in 2014 and 2015 but the average profit remained unchanged. The farmers earned up to ₦40,000 profit per head of cattle. It is recommended that financial inclusion strategies intended for post-insurgency socio-economic recovery in Maiduguri and other affected areas of north-eastern Nigeria should include building of secure feedlot cattle enclosures with proper facilities for tethering, feed storage,and waste disposal. Quality assurance and hygienic management of such places should be according to global best practices. In addition, establishment of a meat processing plant as well as provision refrigerated transportation trucks can help the farmers to maintain their profit margin and avoid stress associated with road transport of live animals. The government should design and implement a program to breed Ambala cattle using Assisted Reproductive Technology for the development Nigeria’s beef industry.

Abstract:

Most of the food transport trucks in Sothern Africa are equipped with refrigeration and air conditioning systems filled with fluorocarbon refrigerants such as R404A to facilitate the heat transfer process. These refrigerants are synthetic chemicals and have high potential to cause global warming and damage to the ozone layer. Currently, natural refrigerants are considered as alternatives to these man-made refrigerants to mitigate some of the environmental risks. The natural refrigerants are the substances that occur in nature such as hydrocarbons (HC), ammonia, and carbon dioxide. These type of refrigerants have been in the market for many years, but in some applications such as domestic refrigerators, heat pumps, chillers, and air conditioners, whereas fluorocarbons are the mostly used in the food transport refrigeration systems. Natural refrigerants such as propane (HC – 290) are now penetrating the market in food transport refrigeration systems where previously fluorocarbons were the favoured option. Therefore, this work reports the possibilities of using non-fluorinated hydrocarbon/natural refrigerant (propane – R290) in the food transport refrigerated systems in Southern Africa; a case study of South Africa. R290 has the potential to lower greenhouse gases emissions compared to hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which are widely used in most of the existing food transport refrigeration systems in South Africa. R290 has negligible Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3 which is well below the global threshold value of 150. The review revealed that refrigeration capacity of R290 is in the average of 10 – 30% higher than commonly used fluorocarbon refrigerants such as R404A and R134A. Since R290 is labeled as a flammable refrigerant, the present study also reviews its flammability safety measures.

Abstract. The need for isothermal vans for the transportation of perishable goods and cargo is currently relevant in our country. An acute problem is also the evaluation of refrigerators in order to determine the most important indicator of the quality of the insulation of the van — the heat transfer coefficient and the efficiency (cooling capacity) of the automobile refrigeration unit. According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 21, 2020 No. 2200 “On approval of the Rules for the carriage of goods by road and on amendments to clause 2.1.1 of the Rules of the Road of the Russian Federation”, the draft Law of the Russian Federation “On the requirements for vehicles intended for the transport of perishable food products”, all specialized vehicles in operation on the territory of the Russian Federation and duly registered are subject to assessment of compliance with international standards. In this regard, the relevance of this problem is obvious. It requires an immediate solution to the current situation. In order to check the efficiency of refrigeration equipment, as well as to classify an isothermal vehicle equipped with a refrigeration unit to one or another class of refrigerated vehicle during certification, tests are carried out to measure the refrigeration unit’s cooling capacity. Recently, a number of works devoted to obtaining similar results have been published. But the question of the mechanism for determining the exact characteristics of automotive refrigeration equipment has not been fully disclosed. The emphasis on the study of the properties and characteristics of specialized vehicles, as well as the choice of refrigerated trucks for the transportation of perishable goods and cargo was made in the works of A. Gryzunov, V. Kornienko, S. Vavilova [2–5]. The result of the study is to study in detail the existing regulatory framework and, on the basis of it, develop a methodology, a model that differs from those currently available, to facilitate, simplify the test to determine the main characteristics of automotive refrigeration equipment. The article presents the features and capabilities of an isothermal chamber for testing vehicles and refrigeration equipment. The device of the camera and the equipment used are described. A test procedure for measuring the cooling capacity of an automobile refrigeration unit is described. The results of an experimental evaluation of the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration unit of an isothermal car van are presented. The testing methodology has its origin in the master’s final qualifying work “Theoretical foundations of thermophysical tests of special vehicles.” The practical significance of the presented results lies in the fact that this technique simplifies the process and reduces the time for testing, without changing the quality of the results obtained.

Abstract:

The main purpose of cold chain is to keep the temperature of products constant during transportation. The internal temperature of refrigerated truck body is mainly measured with a temperature sensor installed at the hottest point on the body. Hence, the measured temperature cannot represent the overall temperature values of transported products in the body. Moreover, the airflow pattern in the refrigerated body can vary depending on the arrangement of loaded logistics, resulting temperature differences between the transported products. In this study, the airflow and temperature change in the refrigerated body depending on the loading patterns of box were analyzed using experimental and numerical analysis methods. Ten different box loading patterns were applied to the body of 0.5 ton refrigerated truck. The temperatures inside boxes were measured depending on the loading patterns. CFD modeling with two different turbulence models (k-ε and SST k-ω) was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics for predicting the temperatures inside boxes loaded with different patterns, and the predicted data were compared to the experimental data. The k-ε turbulence model showed a higher temperature error than the SST k-ω model; however, the highest temperature point inside the boxes was almost accurately predicted. The developed model derived an approximate temperature distribution in the boxes loaded in the refrigerated body.

Abstract:

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from the refueling of gasoline vehicles and trucks. Controlling these emissions has been an important issue since the late 2000s in China. We have recently developed a condensation refueling gas recovery system to recover the VOCs from gaseous wastes at a bulk gasoline terminal. In this system VOC vapor is condensed by a reversed turbo-Brayton cycle refrigerator. The recovery system has a capacity of 100 Nm3/hr at the lowest condensation temperature of 190K. It has been put into use since 2008. The achieved recovery efficiency is 96% and the emission of VOCs is less than 8 g/m3 at the exit of the recovery system.
