“…The use of decision support systems can help professionals in transportation planning, urban planning, public policy planning, public transport operations, service industries and logistics as well as individual users in planning travel and managing transportation systems (15). Monitoring traffic conditions, listing all possible travel alternatives, and calculating fares is a useful part of transportation management in terms of: 1) increasing the productivity of a transportation system; 2) improving safety; 3) improving efficiency; 4) increasing mobility and accessibility; 5) improving intermodal connections.…”

This paper addresses problem solving and complex decision making in the management of transportation operations under environmental dynamics through the use of models and scenarios. A system dynamics simulation was used to model and analyze the efficiency of transportation systems as a tool for decision support to improve efficiency. Transportation systems are complex because they involve a number of different stakeholders, resulting in feedback with different time lags between the responses of all entities. Data and information were collected from the Transportation Department of Surabaya city. Several scenarios to improve the efficiency of transportation systems were developed by modifying the structure and parameters of the model. Several factors influence the efficiency of transportation system: traffic network, conventional roadway, accessibility based transport planning, multi modal transport, planning efficiency, and resources efficient modes (economic category). By implementing a number of strategies (such as the improvement of planning efficiency; multimodal transport development; route-based performance improvement), transportation system efficiency in Surabaya was predicted to be improved from 56% in 2019 to 66% in 2040. The novel contributions of this research are: formulating relationships among several variables, modeling dynamic behavior of transportation system efficiency, and building scenario models to improve transportation operation efficiency. This research contributes to the literature by investigating these relationships through the use of models and experimental scenarios.

“…Since the proposed DSS is mainly focused on managing the circulation of cruise passengers in the city, the suggested decisions are similar to the ones given in the domain of traffic and transportation optimization problems. Systems for traffic management (Almejalli, Dahal, & Hossain, ; Hasan, ; Ocalir‐Akunal, ) aim at avoiding as much as possible traffic congestion, while the ones for transportation management aim at providing suggestions to improve the efficiency of the transportation service even when unexpected situations occur. Nevertheless, in these studies also, a specific goal is considered, and it is addressed as an optimization problem over a set of computed alternatives.…”

Summary Cruise tourism represents a strategic sector for the economic growth of several countries, impacting on different direct and indirect markets. The arrival of cruises in a city represents an unmissable opportunity to increment its tourist market penetration. Nevertheless, the management of an unforeseen number of passengers that need to visit a city in a short time may also have a negative impact, so reducing the expected benefits. This is mainly due to the difficulty of taking the right decisions when organizing the dispatching of passengers in different city areas since these decisions depend on several conditions that can also dynamically occur, and may have an impact on different city sectors. Here, a decision support system is proposed to help involved stakeholders to make decisions to plan passengers' transportation in the city and also to evaluate the consequences for the city if the plans are really implemented. The system is designed according to the multi‐agent paradigm, so allowing one to easily manage the necessary coordination among different entities and data sources that are usually distributed and need to cooperate to provide useful suggestions. In addition, a prototype of a web‐based application is provided to end users, so that it can run on heterogeneous platforms, and it can be easily accessed by different users from different devices, as it is the case for the considered application domain.

“…The development of national and international transport services requires that shippers constantly improve their knowledge of stages and all procedures related to the acquisition of transport orders and relocation of cargos, and methods of planning of transports [16,21,13,15,17]. In the environment of entrepreneurs from the TSL (Transport, Spedition, Logistics) sector, the need for planning of transports with the use of appropriate methods is developing despite difficulties [5].…”

Running business activity in the field of transport requires managing people to coordinate many factors at the same time. The most important factor for the functioning of an enterprise is the planning of execution of transport orders, which is an inherent element of effective management of a fleet of vehicles. The management of logistics and transport is a field of science derived from economic practice, therefore, real events occurring in an enterprise providing transport services at the national and international level were examined. Research and analysis of transport processes were conducted in an enterprise from the TSL sector functioning in the European Union in the aspect of efficient use of a fleet of vehicles.
