    Analyzing the Challenges to Adoption of Drones in the Logistics Sector Using the Best-Worst Method
    (Adem Anbar, 2023) Çıkmak, Sinan; KIRBAÇ, GÖKHAN; Kesici, Buşra
    Drones, which are unmanned aerial vehicles, are used in various areas. Some important worldwide companies have been interested to integrate drone technology into their logistics applications. Although the use of drones promises various advantages such as reducing costs and improving responsiveness in the logistics sector, there are also various challenges to the adoption of this technology. Therefore, this study aims to identify and prioritize the challenges to drone technology adoption in the logistics sector. Initially, 34 challenges under seven major dimensions for the study were identified by a thorough literature review and consultation with selected experts. Then, the best-worst method (BWM) is applied to rank these major challenges and associated sub-criteria. The results show that “terrorist attacks”, “lack of legal regulations”, “difficulty of flight permit processes”, “flight area limitation due to restrictive visual line of sight (VLOS)”, and “personal data protection” are the top five challenges that confront the logistics sector for adopting drone technology. The findings of this research will provide important insights to practitioners and researchers interested in new technologies that can be applied in the logistics sector.

    Blockchain's roles in enhancing supply chain objectives and transportation efficiency
    (2019) Kırbaç, Gökhan; 123816; 121399
    Logisties serviees often play a key role in a firm 's ability to deliver eustomer value. It is also so crucial for transportation seetor. Among the key objeetives of an effeetive logisties and transportation serviees within supply ehain management involves getıing the produet in the right condition, in the right time and at the lowest possible eosts. Globalization of supply ehains and transportation modes makes their coordination and control more diffieult. Bloekehain technology enhanees transparency, traceability, and seeurity in global supply ehain and transportation. Measurement of supply ehain management performanee is often deseribed in terms of objeetives such as quality, speed, dependability, eost and flexibility. Bloekehain technology is a distributed ledger technology whieh is essentially a peer-to-peer distributed asset database that can be shared across a network of multiple sites, geographies or instilutions. The teehnology's core innovation lies in its ability to publicfy validate, record and distribute transaetions in immutable, enerypted ledgers. Bloekehain is a disruptive technology for the design, organization, operations, and general management of supply ehains. Many people believe that bloekehain technology will have a profound effeet on industries and societies onee it ereates a global network, allowing individuals, organizations and maehines to transaet with eaeh other without having to trust eaeh other or use third-party verifieation. Bloekehain technology is expeeted to provide more benefits with the rapid use ofnew teehnologies such as the Internet-oj-things (loT) and artifieial intelligence. The aim of this study is to analyze the both in terms of potential conceptual and applieation areas of the bloekehain technology in supply ehain and transportation. Then eomprehensive literature review will be performed in our study. Firstly, the bloekehain studies will be analyzed through ease studies and applieations and new model suggestions will be made for supply ehain and transportation. Furthermore, analyzes will be made on the statisties of eertain authorities on the use of bloekehain technology to reduee ineffieieney in the transportation seetor. In conclusion, Deloitte 's 2019 Global Bloekehain Survey will be analyzed and suggestions will be made aeeordingly.
