1、外文翻译原文部分Transportation managementTransport cost is influenced by seven factors. The specific factors are distance, volume, density, stow-ability, handling, liability, and market. In general, the above sequence reflects the relative importance of each factor.Distance is a major influence on transport
2、ation cost since it directly contributes to variable cost, such as labor, fuel and maintenance.The second factor is load volume. Like many other logistics activities, transportation scale economics exist for most movements. Transportation cost per unit of weight decreases as load volume increases.Th
3、e third economic factor is product density, which incorporates weight and space considerations. These are important since transportation cost is usually quoted in terms of dollars per unit of weight, such as amount per ton. In terms of weight and space, an individual vehicle is constrained more by s
4、pace than by weight. Once a vehicle is full in terms of space, it is not possible to increase the amount carried even if the product is light. Since actual vehicle labor and fuel expenses are not dramatically influenced by weight, higher density products allow relatively fixed transport costs to be
5、spread across additional weight. As a result, these products are assessed lower transport costs per unit of weight.The stowability factor refers to product dimensions and how they affect vehicle space ultilization. Odd sizes and spaces, as well as excessive weight or length, do not show well and typ
6、ically waste space. Items with standard rectangular shapes are much easier to show than odd-shaped items.Special handling equipment may be required for loading or unloading trucks, railcars, or ships. Furthermore, the manner in which products are physically grouped together (e.g., taped, boxed, or p
7、alletized) for transport and storage also affects handling cost.Finally, market factors, such as lane volume and balance, influence transportation cost. A transport lane refers to movements between origin and destination points. Since transportation vehicles and drivers must return to their origin,
8、either they must find a load to bring back (“back-haul”) , or when deadhead movements occur, labor, fuel, and maintenance costs must be charged against the original “front-haul” move. Thus, the ideal situation is for “balanced” moves where volume is equal in both directions. However, this is rarely
9、the case because of demand imbalances in manufacturing and consumption locations.Transport documentationSeveral documents are required to perform each transport movement. The three primary types are bills of lading, freight bills, and shipping manifests.The bill of lading is the basic document ultil
10、ized in purchasing transport service. It serves as a receipt and documents commodities and quantities shipped. For this reason, accurate description and count are essential. In case of loss, damage, or delay, the bill of lading is the basis for damage claims. The designated individual or buyer on a
11、bill of lading is the only bona fide recipient of goods. A carrier is responsible for delivery according to instructions contained in the document. In effect, title is transferred with completion of delivery.The bill of lading specifies terms and conditions of carrier liability and documents respons
12、ibility for all possible causes of loss or damage except those defined as acts of God. It is important that terms and conditions be clearly understood so that appropriate actions can be taken in the event of substandard performance.In addition to the uniform bill of lading, another commonly used typ
13、e is order-notified. It is important to select the correct bill of lading for a specific shipment.An order notified or negotiable bill of lading is a credit instrument. In provides that delivery not be made unless the original bill of lading is surrendered to the carrier. The usual procedure is for
14、the seller to send the order notified bill of lading to a third party, usually a bank or credit institution. Upon customer payment for the product, the credit institution releases the goods. This facilitates international transport where payment for goods is major consideration.The freight bill pres
15、ents a carriers method of charging for transportation services. It is developed using information contained in the bill of lading. The freight bill may be either prepaid or collect. A prepaid bill means that transport cost must be paid prior to performance, whereas a collect shipment shifts payment
16、responsibility to the consignee. Considerable administration is involved in preparing bills of lading and freight bills.The shipping manifest lists individual stops or consignees when multiple shipments are placed on a single vehicle. Each shipment requires a bill of lading. The manifest list the st
17、op, bill of lading, weight, and case count for each shipment. The objective of the manifest is to provide a single document that defines the contents of total load without requiring a review of individual bills of lading. For single-stop shipments, the manifest is the same as the bill of lading.Anti
18、lock Braking System for Commercial VehiclesThe ABS prevents the wheels from locking when the vehicle is overbraked. The vehicle therefore retains its directional stability and steerability even under emergency braking on a slippery road surface. The stopping distance is often shorter as opposed to b
19、raking with locked wheels.In contrast to passenger cars, commercial vehicles have pneumatic braking systems. Nevertheless, the functional description of the ABS control circuits for passengers cars applies also to commercial vehicles.The antilock braking system as used in commercial vehicles consist
20、 of wheel-speed sensors, an electronic controller and pressure-modulation valves. The ABS regulates the brake pressure in each brake cylinder by increasing the pressure, holding it constant or by reducing it by exhausting to atmosphere. The brake pressure can be controlled individually for each whee
21、l. Under split conditions (different friction coefficients between right-hand and left-hand wheels, e.g. black ice at edge of road surface, good grip at center of road surface) braking produces a high yawing moment about the vertical axis of the vehicle: this is coupled with a high steering moment a
22、s a result of the positive steering roll radii in commercial vehicles. Vehicles with a short wheelbase are thus difficult to control. Therefore, in the case of unequal friction coefficients on right and left, the yawing and steering moments are limited by a modified control at the steering axle. The
23、 difference in brake pressure between the right-hand and left-hand braking cylinders does not exceed an allowable value.Depending on the number of controlled axles, there are 2-wheel and 6-wheel ABS systems available in order to be able to optimize the equipping of the various models of commercial v
24、ehicle in terms of performance and cost. 2-wheel systems are used predominantly for semitrailers with 2-wheel, 4-wheel or 6-wheel units. The wheels on each axle are individually controlled. Further axles receive the same braking pressure as the controlled axle. 4-wheel systems are used in 4-wheel bu
