Common causes of transportation delays and countermeasures

Common Causes of Transportation Delays: Weather Factors: Adverse weather conditions pose significant challenges for transportation. Extreme weather events like heavy rain, snowstorms, and dense fog reduce visibility, while slippery roads or icy snow accumulation compromise the safety and speed of land vehicles. Maritime transport may face storms and towering waves, forcing ships to alter routes or suspend operations. Aviation operations may be disrupted by severe convective weather or lightning strikes, preventing normal takeoffs and landings. Traffic Congestion: During rush hours, urban roads experience dramatic increases in vehicle flow, leading to frequent accidents and reduced road capacity. Construction zones on highways and holiday travel peaks also cause vehicles to move slowly, significantly extending transportation durations.

The goods may be damaged during transportation due to improper packaging and need to be repackaged; the quantity of goods does not match the list and needs to be checked for a long time; or the goods themselves belong to special categories and need additional inspection and quarantine procedures, which will lead to transportation delays.

Human factors: driver fatigue, operation errors, staff unfamiliarity with the transportation process, low work efficiency, etc., may also lead to problems in the transportation process, causing delays.
