Abstract: Integrating public transport in sustainable last-mile delivery
We consider a delivery system for last-mile deliveries in urban areas based on the use of Public Transport Service. The idea is to exploit the spare capacity of public transport means to transport parcels within urban areas, thus reducing externalities caused by commercial delivery vans. Specifically, the system is such that parcels are first transported from origins to drop-in stations on public vehicles itineraries. Then, they are transported through public vehicles to drop-out stations, from where they are delivered to destination by freighters using green vehicles. The system is known as Freight-On-Transit (FOT). We present the optimization problem related with and operational decisions, as well as ad-hoc solution methodologies and simulations on synthetic data.
