“…Consequently, high amounts of start, soak and idle emissions and low average speed occur, which, as shown by Hatzopoulou and Miller (2010), increase air pollution. Beside the distance travelled, fleet composition is an important factor (Lemp and Kockelman 2008). HHC vehicles are either nurses' privately-owned cars or vehicles owned by the service providers.…”

Routing and scheduling of home health care services usually focuses on the case where each nurse operates a separate vehicle. With increasing urbanisation, limited availability of parking spaces and stricter environmental regulations, service providers are starting to investigate car and trip sharing concepts as potential alternatives. This paper numerically investigates a car sharing concept as well as operating a transport system, which delivers and picks up nurses to and from clients combined with the additional option of walking. Different geographic distributions are investigated to identify beneficial settings for successful implementation considering various objectives of decision makers. The evaluation shows that trip sharing performs best if long service durations exist, long delays for parking occur and in areas where clients are both geographically distributed randomly and in clusters. Additionally, facilitating walking as well as trip or car sharing reduces the number of required vehicles substantially. Nevertheless, for walking and trip sharing, travel durations are prone to increase compared to classical planning approaches.

“…En términos de costes medioambientales, las externalidades son entendidas como aquellos gastos que son generados como consecuencia de impactos medioambientales negativos de la actividad empresarial pero que son pagados o soportados por el conjunto de la sociedad. La literatura previa sobre transporte y medio ambiente ha analizado ampliamente los costes causados por el sector transportista (Mayeres et al, 1996;Eriksen, 2000;Saelensminde, 2004, Quinet, 2004Haller et al, 2007;Lemp y Kockelman, 2008;Arimura y Iwata, 2008) e incluso varios estudios han realizado clasificaciones de costes externos causados por el transporte. Por ejemplo, Lemp y Kockelman (2008) clasificaron los costes externos medioambientales del transporte en función del tipo de vehículo, mientras que otros estudios centraron su atención en los diferentes costes externos causados por el transporte rodado en las ciudades (Mayeres et al 1996;Eriksen, 2000;Saelensminde, 2004).…”

Abstract:The implementation of green logistics can reduce the increasingly serious environmental damage and improve the operating efficiency of logistics enterprises. In this paper, through quantitative calculation of logistics negative external costs, including traffic accidents, atmospheric pollution, noise pollution, and pollution caused by packaging, we build accounting standards to calculate the negative external cost of logistics enterprises that mainly generate pollution from transportation and packaging. Then, assuming the impetus provided by government implementing incentive mechanisms in a free market economy, we establish a 'Logistics Negative External Cost Internalizing' model, which quantitatively analyzes the relationships among freight rate, freight volume, investment of enterprise for implementing green logistics, and the subsidy given by government, under the comparison of the two modes 'enterprise operates first' and 'government subsidizes first'. The results show that the introduction of 'government subsidizes first' incentive mechanism and increasing freight rate are helpful in promoting the process of logistics market greening.
