This lecture provides a comprehensive overview of advanced research conducted at the USF Supply Chain Innovation Lab, under the direction of Professor Dr. Seckin Ozkul. Spanning a diverse portfolio of publicly and privately funded projects, the work addresses pivotal challenges in logistics and supply chain management. Key research areas include geospatial analyses for truck staging and parking, strategies to mitigate trade imbalances and empty backhauls, logistics activity center (LAC) development potential, and digital supply chain transformations. Utilizing sophisticated methodologies, such as GIS-based spatial modeling, Freight and Transportation Optimization Tool (FTOT) simulations, and scenario analysis, the lab’s studies contribute to optimizing logistics networks, enhancing economic efficiency, and reducing environmental impacts. Specific emphasis is placed on actionable strategies for improving freight flow in Florida, optimizing land use for logistics infrastructure, and modeling alternative fuel supply chains. This body of work reflects the lab’s integration of theoretical insights with applied solutions, offering transformative contributions to the field of supply chain and transportation research.
