Modelling the road transport for efficiency analysis

Abstract

Road transportation system is a complex series of activities. However, this can be broken down into sub-activities for easier understanding to analysis its efficiencies. This study discusses a simple technique of process mapping to develop a simple model for efficiency analysis of road transport specifically container haulage system. Observation was made in the industry, processes are then mapped for model development. Basic variables are then identified after which the model are developed for further analysis of efficiency
