In traditional parcel delivery operations, customers determine delivery locations and, hence, the performance of a transporter. We exploit this idea and show that customers can improve the efficiency of a transporter by giving the latter flexibility in choosing the delivery locations. Two possible policies to enable this flexibility are presented and evaluated. The first policy, conceptually similar to roaming vehicle routing, is related to the presence of alternative locations. The second policy is related to the possibility of aggregating/skipping some locations. We show that route optimization behind both policies can be modelled via the well-known generalized travelling salesman problem. Extensive computational experiments with real parcel delivery data are performed to evaluate the potential of the presented policies and to obtain insights for possible implementation in daily practice. The experiments show that under certain conditions, the two proposed policies can lead to 15 to 20% improvement in the route length and in extreme yet realistic cases up to 40 to 50%. Consequently, the concept of flexible delivery locations has potential for practice, especially in densely populated areas.

This research incorporated an auction mechanism into the vehicle routing problem with occasional drivers and produced simulations in an agent-based environment. Auctions were used to match online orders with potential occasional drivers. While a centralized system optimizes system performance under global objectives, the novel decentralized approach presented here illustrates emergent phenomena resulting from the interaction of individual entities in highly dynamic cases. In the simulations, the auctions were executed after a fixed time interval called a rolling time horizon. Our results suggest that the appropriate rolling time horizon produces a lower average unit compensation cost because better matches can be found when the accumulation of online orders and occasional drivers is maintained at a certain level. The simulation results also indicate that the use of an auction mechanism instead of simple nonauction rules can improve the average unit compensation cost by up to 25.1%.

“…On the contrary, charging lower price and paying lower compensation do not facilitate as many matches as expect because of the reluctance to participate in the CS market. With regard to the literature, a study of Allahviranloo and Baghestani (2019) also incorporated senders' WTP and couriers' ETP behaviours into their optimization model, but the study did not examine benefits and surpluses of stakeholders. More results from our analysis are summarized in Appendix B.…”

“…Their approach provide better behavioral insights of conventional vehicles and couriers. In addition, Allahviranloo and Baghestani (2019) built a dynamic CS model that matches senders and couriers based on their WTP and ETP, respectively. There is no available study that considers pricing and compensation, routing and compensation, or matching and compensation.…”
