Last-mile logistics is both a source and cause of problems in urban areas, especially related to traffic congestion, unsustainable delivery modes, limited parking availability. In this context, multiple sustainable solutions have been proposed. We focus on micro-depots (MDs), which can function as consolidation center collection-and-delivery point for business-to-consumer (B2C) small parcels. T...

We are on the cusp of a revolution in aviation sector, driven by significant progress electric power and battery technologies, autonomous systems. Several industry leaders governmental agencies currently investigating use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or “drones” as commonly known, for an ever-growing number applications—from blue light services to parcel delivery urban mobility.

Generally, a courier company needs to employ fleet of vehicles travel through number locations in order provide efficient parcel delivery services. The route planning these can be formulated as vehicle routing problem (VRP). Most existing VRP algorithms assume that the traveling durations between are time invariant; thus, they normally use only set estimated times (ETTs) plan vehicles’ routes; ...

The paper studies a series-parallel hybrid powertrain configuration for the medium-duty plug-in hybrid trucks and Volt-like passenger cars. The series-parallel hybrid combines the features of the parallel hybrid and the series hybrid. Series-parallel hybrid powertrains with preand post-transmission configuration for the plug-in hybrid medium-duty trucks were modelled and compared with a convent...
