The implementation of new forms of urban mobility is a fundamental challenge for improving the performance of city logistic systems in terms of efficiency and sustainability. For such purposes, the exploitation of electric vehicles is currently being investigated as an alternative to traditional internal combustion engines. In particular, the employment of lightweight electric cargo bikes is seen as an attractive possibility for designing improved city distribution systems. Such vehicles, however, present substantial limitations related to their endurance, speed, power, and recharging times; therefore, their configuration must be optimized considering the actual operational context and the …

Vehicle routing with private and shared delivery locations
2021
Abstract The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to an increase of home delivery requests. Providing efficient distribution systems for services on the last mile has become a challenging issue for logistics companies, where a trade-off between the classical approaches, attended home delivery (AHD) and usage of shared delivery locations (SDLs) has been identified. AHD provides a higher quality of service but implies very high costs for the company, while usage of SDL requires customers to perform the very last mile by themselves. For companies, this bears the risk of a decrease in the perceived service quality. However, due to consolidation effects, transportation costs can be considerably mi…
Mikromobilitātes klimata paplašināšanās iespējas Ziemeļvalstīs - iespējas un draudi
2020
Anton Martikainen rakstītajā maģistra darbā tiks pētīta mikromobilitāte, kas specializējas e-skūteros – šobrīd esošs fenomens, kas aizsākās 2018. gadā Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs un ienāca Eiropā 2019. gada sākumā. Darba teorētiskā pieeja ir balstīta uz teoriju, kas saistīta ar paplašināšanos - mobilitāte kā pakalpojums un trešo pušu loģistikas teorija, kurai ir svarīga loma e-skūteru nozarē. Mikromobilitāte ir kļuvusi par aktuālu tēmu visā pasaulē, mainot veidu, kā cilvēki pārvietojas. Autors savā pētījumā definēs mikromobilitāti, analizēs galvenos tirgus dalībniekus un precīzi norādīs uz iespējām un draudiem un, kā tos redz iekšējās un ārējās iesaistītās puses. Darba izstrādes laikā tik…

Last mile logistics is considered the most expensive part of the supply chain. This is due to the high cost of deliveries related to the costs of organizing the transport of small parcels to individual customers, including the costs of fuel, vehicle operation and couriers. Considering the growing popularity of e-commerce among citizens, the growing problem of the last mile of deliveries should be analysed. The study focuses on the analysis of the literature on the subject, as well as on the existing or possible solutions to issues related to deliveries to the end customer. The main aim of the study is to present the proposed solutions to the last mile problem in the light of possible benefi…
