Abstract
Empty running and half-empty trailers have been a headache for logistics
service providers for years. It is costly and time consuming as well as a cause
of unnecessary emissions, congestion and air pollution.
Despite numerous attempts involving new technology, company mergers and
ad-hoc collaboration between competitors, empty running still presents a
major challenge for the business as well as for the environment.
In 2016, a group of researchers and industry professionals gathered to de-
velop a system that automates the ad-hoc collaboration by matching avai-
lable goods and excess capacity - we call it the DiRECTLY system.
However, doing this in practice was far from straightforward.
This book is about the DiRECTLY project - a project that ended up not only
being about collaborative logistics, but also about how to advance the road
freight industry through new technology.
