Planning hyperconnected, urban logistics systems

Introduction to Logistics Systems Planning andControl

Collaborative Data Analysis in Hyperconnected Transportation Systems

Taxi trip duration affects the efficiency of operation, the satisfaction of drivers, and, mainly, the satisfaction of the customers, therefore, it is an impor‐ tant metric for the taxi companies. Especially, knowing the predicted trip duration beforehand is very useful to allocate taxis to the taxi stands and also finding the best route for different trips. The existence of hyperconnected netwo...

Sustainable urban logistics: Concepts, methods and information systems

Simulation of Mutualized Urban Logistics Systems with Real-Time Management

This work aims at proposing a new organization of urban merchandize distribution based on mutualized and optimized resources. In this context, our contribution is twofold. On one hand, we develop a set of models to manage merchandize distribution. We develop a new reservation system that enables customers to request a merchandize transportation service (delivery and collect) or to book a vehicl...

On Planning and Design of Logistics Systems for Uncertain Environments

1. This paper addresses some issues that arise in the planning and design of logistics systems when the environment in which they are to be operated cannot be modeled accurately with certainty. The paper describes the analytical difficulties introduced by explicitly considering uncertainty, and suggests possible modeling steps that may result in more efficient, uncertainty-friendly plans.
