“…According to Kassens-Noor (2013) and Geurs et al (2009), public transportation issues are defined as the operational and infrastructural changes to the transport systems of host cities that (might) affect with a negative influence the preferences, mobility, behavior or perception of residents. Previous studies have highlighted a variety of transport issues (e.g., crowd management, insecurity, infrastructure, traffic and planning) that host cities and their stakeholders may face (Bovy, 2009;Minis et al, 2009;Parent and Smith-Swan, 2013), confirming that in previous bids, transport was a major problem.…”

“…This research has several limitations and suggestions for future research. First, practical issues of transportation are increasingly recognized as context specific and relevant not only to the Olympic Games, but also to other mega-events (e.g., international Games, the World Cup) (Minis et al, 2009), suggesting it would be methodologically useful to investigate how the framework proposed operates in other mega-event types as well as in different social and political environments, particularly comparing host city contexts in the global North and South.…”

PurposePlanning and managing the transportation services for Olympic host cities is a complex task. This paper contributes to the event management literature by presenting empirical evidence of the public transportation issues using a case study of a local community-focused Olympic host city. Key factors underpinning transportation issues outcomes are identified.Design/methodology/approachThe Rio 2016 Olympic city was selected as a case study. To develop a scale of public transportation issues, four stages of scale development were conducted: a construct definition and content domain; item generation and expert review; a quantitative study for the purification of the scale; and a quantitative study to validation of the scale. Data were collected among local citizens who lived in the Olympic host city (n = 513).FindingsThe construct of public transportation issues was assigned to five main categories: planning, infrastructures, information, insecurity and urban mobility. The scale shows internal consistency, reliability, construct validity and nomological validity. Transport issues perceived of Olympic host city tend to increase the negative social impact perceived among local citizens.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the harmful impacts discussion of hosting sport mega-events and introduces the transportation issues that the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) needs to know when hosting the Olympic Games. The scale application for the future Olympic host countries is discussed.

“…King and Topaloglu (2007) presented a model to coordinate the pricing and fleet management decisions of a freight carrier. Minis et al (2009) discussed essential design aspects of the “taxi (car)” used for transporting very important persons during the Athens 2004 Olympic games and developed a system based on robust operating principles for fleet management. Galletti et al (2010) developed competitive benchmarking strategies for increasing the cost efﬁciency of operating fleets used in private fleet management.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the best fleet for a new purchase based on multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio (MOORA), reference point and multi-MOORA methods. This study further identifies critical parameters for fleet performance monitoring and exploring optimum range of critical parameters using Monte Carlo simulation. At the end of this study, fleet maintenance management and operations have been discussed in the perspectives of risk management. Design/methodology/approach Fleet categories and fleet performance monitoring parameters have been identified using the literature survey and Delphi method. Further, real-time data has been analyzed using MOORA, reference point and multi-MOORA methods. Taguchi and full factorial design of experiment (DOE) are used to investigate critical parameters for fleet performance monitoring. Findings Fleet performance monitoring is done based on fuel consumption (FC), CO2 emission (CE), coolant temperature (CT), fleet rating, revenue generation (RG), fleet utilization, total weight and ambient temperature. MOORA, reference point and multi-MOORA methods suggested the common best alternative for a particular category of the fleet (compact, hatchback and sedan). FC and RG are the critical parameters for monitoring the fleet performance. Research limitations/implications The geographical aspects have not been considered for this study. Practical implications A pilot run of 300 fleets shows saving of Rs. 2,611,013/- (US$36,264.065), which comprises total maintenance cost [Rs. 1,749,033/- (US$24,292.125)] and FC cost [Rs. 861,980/- (US$11,971.94)] annually. Social implications Reduction in CE (4.83%) creates a positive impact on human health. The reduction in the breakdown maintenance of fleet improves the reliability of fleet services. Originality/value This study investigates the most useful parameters for fleet management are FC, CE, CT. Taguchi DOE and full factorial DOE have identified FC and RG as a most critical parameters for fleet health/performance monitoring.

Managing logistics in sport: a comprehensive systematic literature review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Logistics and sport management are part of the globalized economy and interdisciplinary fields of science. Sporting events necessitate enormous logistical efforts by aiming to deliver certain tasks and materials at an exact time and a specific place in suitable quantity and quality. However, sport logistics not only is involved in the precise execution of events but deals with a wide range of topics. Sporting goods are transported along the supply chain to customers with economic objectives, stadium evacuation simulations are carried out using algorithms that originate in transportation logistics, and sport clubs are confronted with logistical issues both on their game days and during the rest of the year. A systematic literature review was undertaken to provide clarity regarding previous scientific endeavors and to offer orientation for interested practitioners. The authors propose a theoretical framework—the sport logistics triangle—that draws on the academic disciplines of logistics management and sport management and allows to classify all sport logistics activities. An in-depth categorization scheme and ten topic clusters illustrate how sport logistics has been studied thus far. Implications and research opportunities are elaborated for practitioners and scholars. The survey clearly underlines both the importance of sport logistics and its neglection in academics.
