Shared mobility oriented open vehicle routing with order radius decision

In the era of sharing economy and mobility-as-service, last mile delivery system is undergoing revolutionary changes with emerging a lot new operation modes policies. The crowdsourced mode has become novel popular practice in industry. This brings way for facilitating efficiency on basis shared mobility. paper studies an open vehicle routing problem (OVRP) mobility based mode, which parcel orders are disseminated within circle to attract occasional vehicles (or couriers) fulfill these orders. Different from traditional OVRP, this study further considers decision above mentioned circle’s radius, should be balanced between attracting enough reducing additional cost (reward) covering vehicles’ empty trips pickup location. proposes nonlinear mixed-integer programming model problem. A column generation solution method implemented solve model. Some numerical experiments also conducted validate draw out some managerial implications practitioners. proposed methodology may potentially benefit not only but promoting modern transportation paradigm revolution ridesharing mobility-as-service.
