The present review paper provides a systematic insight into the studies published so far when it comes to research on cost and performance optimisation in parcel delivery phase. Globalisation, as well new trends, such selling online, directly influences demands for of goods. Demand goods proportionally affects transport prices. A great majority deliveries is carried out densely populated urban ...

Abstract To make the last mile of parcel delivery more efficient, service providers offer an increasing number modes as alternatives to traditional and often cost-intensive home service. Parcel lockers pickup stations can be utilized reduce stops avoid costly detours. design smart networks, must evaluate different business models. In this context, a multitrip vehicle routing problem with option...

In this paper, we consider the use of lockers in parcel delivery, a recent method used last mile logistics. Lockers are pickup points made several cells that located city where customers can collect their parcels as an alternative to home delivery. We study routing problems which one or multiple vehicles deliver directly lockers. also influence introduction when these include time windows. prop...

Parcel delivery service by collect-on-delivery (COD, a.k.a. cash-on-delivery) companies is a new distribution mode in China. The design of the distribution network of a COD company in urban areas is of great importance and a relatively new research direction. In this paper, we aim to model this distribution network as a two-echelon location routing problem (2E-LRP) and propose a novel efficient...

Parcel Eulerian–Lagrangian Hamiltonian formulations have recently been used in structure-preserving numerical schemes, asymptotic calculations, and in alternative explanations of fluid parcel (in)stabilities. A parcel formulation describes the dynamics of one fluid parcel with a Lagrangian kinetic energy but an Eulerian potential evaluated at the parcel’s position. In this paper, we derive the ...

Electric vehicle routing problems can be particularly complex when recharging must performed mid-route. In some applications such as the e-commerce parcel delivery truck routing, however, mid-route may not necessary because of constraints on capacities and maximum allowed time for delivery. this study, we develop a mixed-integer optimization model that exactly solves time-constrained capacitate...

Gig economy delivery services such as food are common in many cities. The business models for these rely on self-employment. Studies suggest that this model can negatively affect service quality and client satisfaction. This study proposes food-delivery the gig will show worse results compared to traditional professional companies regarding To test proposition, a thematic analysis of approximat...
