Table 1 Map of the different Scenarios
From: A cost benefit model for high capacity transport in a comprehensive line-haul network
Scenario A Solely LHV | Scenario B Solely HCV | Scenario C Optimal | |
|---|---|---|---|
Vehicle Type | LHV 64 t / 25.25 m | HCV 64 t / 34.5 m | LHV 64 t / 25.25 m HCV 64 t / 34.5 m |
Extent | Full Terminal Network | Full Terminal Network | HCV only operates when it is more cost efficient than LHVs |
Description | A current situation analysis and net present value in which only LHVs are permitted to operate in the terminal network | A situation analysis in which HCVs are introduced in the full terminal network and replace all LHVs | A situation analysis in which the vehicle most optimised for every single trip between two different terminals is used, with respect to capacity and operational costs |
