    • Application of data analytics to transport corridor diagnostics and performance benchmarking 

      Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Venter, W.C. (IEEE, 2018)
      Increase in exports is essential for economic growth in developing countries. In Southern Africa the development of effective multi-national trade corridors is the single biggest stumbling block to achieve this objective. ...
    • An intelligent freight corridor overload control system 

      Hoffman, Alwyn J.; De Coning, Arno (IEEE, 2014)
      Overload control is an important aspect of freight corridors in developing countries that largely depend on road transport to move goods between ports and areas of production and consumption. As the frequent weighing ...
    • An investigation into the economics of fuel management in the freight logistics industry 

      Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Van der Westhuizen, Marius; Naidoo, Jitesh (IEEE, 2014)
      The transport and logistics industry has to confront many challenges to achieve the objective of efficient distributed operations, such as vehicle and cargo traceability and security. Research has identified effective ...
    • Perishable produce temperature profiling using intelligent telematics 

      Emenike, Christian C.; Hoffman, Alwyn J. (SATNAC, 2014)
      Controlling, monitoring and maintaining the temperature of agricultural products in the cold chain is critical to avert the ills associated with this industry. The various segments of the cold chain not only require ...
    • Securing number plates based on digital signatures and RFID 

      Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Geldenhuys, Daniel J.S.; Pretorius, Albertus B. (IEEE, 2013)
      The automated detection of vehicles forms an important part of Intelligent Transportation Systems. The vehicle number plate is the primary token used for the identification of the vehicle; the number plates industry is ...
    • The use of tracking technology for improved management of trade corridors 

      Hoffman, Alwyn J.; Lusanga, Kabanda P.; Bhero, Ernest (IEEE, 2013)
      The sub-Sahara African economy is suffering from the inefficient management of trade corridors. Long delays experienced at weigh bridges and border posts are a big contributor towards the slow average movement of freight. ...
    • Using mobile networks for effective cold chain management 

      Van Eyk, Bernardus P.; Hoffman, Alwyn J. (SATNAC, 2014)
      Research has shown that substantial in transit losses in perishable cargo are sustained due to malpractices in cold chain logistics. Such losses are even more prevalent in developing countries where supply chain systems ...
