“…Shiau and Liu (2013) confirmed these statements, and identified technological change and reduced demand as proper and efficient measures for achieving sustainable transport system. White Paper Transport (EC, 2011) published by European Union provides the main requirements for achieving sustainable urban transport, such as pedestrian-and cycling-oriented infrastructure, smaller amount of vehicles with internal combustion engines and promotion of public transportation.…”

“…Since the conceptualization is not the aim of this study, therefore collection of definitions do not purpose of elaborating a clear concept, but undoubtedly useful for understanding the different approaches and indicators used in divergent studies. Shiau and Liu (2013) cited the definition of transport sustainability provided by European Council of Ministers of Transport which describes the concept with the following features:…”

“…Tomando como un segundo enfoque de búsqueda los indicadores propuestos específicamente en el transporte, se encuentra en [16] un sistema de indicadores para el uso de entidades gubernamentales, aunque provee indicadores que pueden ser adaptados a las empresas de transporte como el factor de carga, consumo de combustible y los accidentes de tráfico. En [17] se identifican indicadores como el consumo de combustible, la accidentalidad, la calidad del servicio y el mantenimiento de los vehículos; mientras que en [18] se mide la eficiencia de las rutas en función del tiempo de viaje, la distancia entre destinos, el número de paradas realizadas, el consumo de combustible y la velocidad promedio.…”

RESUMENEl presente artículo propone un nuevo marco metodológico para el desarrollo de indicadores que permitan medir el desempeño de las actividades clave para cuatro áreas decisionales identificadas en las empresas de transporte de carga terrestre, siendo estas: gerencia, soporte administrativo, operaciones -logística-y tecnología de procesos. La propuesta teórica se basa en un análisis detallado de literatura científica, de este análisis es posible identificar las actividades clave en cada área decisional de las empresas, al igual que los recursos que se ven afectados por variables internas o externas a la operación y que impactan el desempeño empresarial. Como resultado se propone un marco de indicadores para la medición del desempeño de las empresas de transporte de carga que incluye la definición de cada indicador y cómo calcularlo. Finalmente, se concluye que es posible obtener un conjunto de indicadores que se basen en las necesidades identificadas en literatura científica sin obviar las particularidades de las empresas de transporte de carga, lo que asegura la funcionalidad y el éxito de la implementación de estos indicadores.Palabras clave: Indicadores de desempeño, actividades logísticas, transporte terrestre de carga, Logística. ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new methodological framework for the indicators development that allows measuringe the performance of the key activities on the four decisional areas identified on the land freight transport companies: Management, Administrative support, Operations -Logistics and Process technology. The theoretical proposal is based on a detailed analysis of scientific literature, with this analysis is possible to identify the key activities in each decisional

“…The approach for defining this map is interesting as it proposes to use different perspectives from multiple stakeholders and then it proposes a process to integrate all the perspectives in a single map. The second work used in order to define the FCM for the evaluation scenario is defined in [23]. This map is related to the city of Taipei City and its main focus is the relationship between different transportation strategies and several key performance indicators (like energy consumption, air pollution, infrastructure).…”

“…Figure 11 shows the FCM used for the what-if analysis. This map is built by integrating the maps proposed in [14] and [23] but we consider only a subsets of concepts from both maps. It contains the causal relationships between some important concepts and assets related to the management of a city, like environment, transportation, social assets and government.…”

This work proposes a software environment implementing a methodology for acquiring and exploiting the collective perception (CP) of Points of Interests (POIs) in a Smart City, which is meant to support decision makers in urban planning and management. This environment relies upon semantic knowledge discovery techniques and fuzzy computational approaches, including natural language processing, sentiment analysis, POI signatures and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, turning them into a cohesive architectural blend in order to effectively gather the realistic perception of a user community towards given areas and attractions of a Smart City. The environment has been put to the test via a thorough experimentation against a massive user base of an online community with respect to a large metropolitan city (the City of Naples). Such an experimentation yielded consistent results, useful for providing decision makers with a clear awareness of the positive as well as critical aspects of urban areas, and thus helping them shape the measures to be taken for an improved city management and development.
