“…Cargo theft in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa has tripled in the past ten years, based on data reported by the Transport Asset Protection Association (TAPA) [1]. Highvalue products are attractive targets for theft while in transit, requiring extra security to overcome the increased risk [2,3]. Global supply chain security has become increasingly important because of theft incidents, with emphasis on parking lots where the cargo does not move [2,[4][5][6][7][8].…”

Responding to the increasing need for safety and security in road freight transport, and to targeted legislation specifying the availability of freight drivers’ rest areas, this paper proposes a plan and a model for deployment of safe and secure parking areas for truck drivers. Disaggregate analysis within a stated preference and conjoint analysis framework leads to the modelling of truck parking area selection by each truck driver that registers in the system proposed in this research. The concept builds upon the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) upgrading of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) infrastructure systems while adapting to novel transport and logistics needs in an operationally safe, secure, and efficient environment for the supply chain. The analysis is applied in the Orient/East-Med Corridor of the TEN-T and is supported by the clustering of available truck parking areas for each truck route in the application subnetwork. The personalised approach is scalable and can be integrated into platforms for safe and secure truck parking areas, thus facilitating their acceptance and increasing awareness by the end-users. From pilot implementation on the Hellenic motorways, functional evaluation of use cases indicates 94.4% estimated choice probability of the most suitable parking area by the pilot drivers.

“…Cargo theft typically occurs in trucks that are temporarily parked along the road, often waiting for loading and unloading opportunities (EP 2007;TruckPol 2007;IRU 2008). In this context, prior research shows that a violent modus operandi has a greater impact in terms of the value of stolen goods (Ekwall and Lantz 2013, 2015a, b, 2016Justus et al 2018;Nagurney et al 2018;Lorenc and Kuznar 2018).…”

“…Linked to the area of supply chain risk, one can talk about the vulnerability of supply chains. Within this field, cargo theft is one of the main 'unwanted effects', which represents the root causes of supply chain disruptions (Waters 2007;Ekwall and Lantz 2016;Justus et al 2018;Nagurney et al 2018). Juttner (2005) defines supply chain vulnerability as 'an exposure to serious disturbance arising from supply chain risks and affecting the supply chain's ability to effectively serve the end customer market'.…”

This paper examines weekly and annual seasonality in incident categories to find patterns and trends in transport crime globally, concerning the value of stolen goods, incident frequency and incident category. Secondary data is utilized to analyse a contemporary challenge in logistics and supply chain research, namely theft and robbery of goods during shipment. The research is based on the TAPA global IIS transport-related crime database. Incident frequencies and mean values are analysed primarily with chi-square tests and analyses of variance (ANOVAs). The results are analysed and discussed within a frame of reference consisting of theories from logistics and criminology. The main conclusion is that there is an annual as well as a weekly seasonality of most incident categories, but the patterns vary among incident categories. The results are primarily limited by the content and classification within the TAPA IIS database.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore cargo theft risk and security for different product types at different locations along a transport chain. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on a system-theoretical approach. The research method is deductive, as the analysis is based on secondary data and results from a questionnaire. The results are analysed based on supply chain risk management (SCRM) theories. Findings Due to substantial interaction effects, the type of product and transport chain location must be considered to determine the correct level of security. Specifically, the product type is more significant, since the general cargo theft risk is higher. Furthermore, the transport industry has three perspectives on security responses to cargo theft, namely, demanded, needed and actual security, which differ depending on the product type and transport chain location. Research limitations/implications This database is structured according to the global Transported Asset Protection Association organisational structure, which implies that there are three main databases: Europe, Middle East and Africa, Americas, and Asia-Pacific. Practical implications This study has both research and practical implications, as it examines security within freight transport from three perspectives, linked to general cargo theft risk and goods owners’ requirements. Originality/value This study addresses the contemporary SCRM problem of cargo theft using actual crime statistics and the industry understanding of required generic security levels.
