“…In some cases, the limitations are language and local regulations, but above all logistics, especially the delivery of the product to the customer, because not all sellers offer the possibility to deliver the product to every location. On the other hand, it represents a huge potential for the sector of logistics and postal services (Turska and Madlenakova, 2019). Due to the lack of geographical restrictions, there are opportunities to buy and sell even bigger because almost anyone can be a customer.…”

Society, companies and institutions are involved in a digital transformation that can be pervaded in various industries or sectors, and this also applies to communication, sales and distribution channels. The possibilities of e-commerce have also increased and world trade has been further developed. In 2020, more than two billion people bought goods or services over the Internet. Customer satisfaction depends on the solution of the last mile process, the method of picking up shipments as well as the time and place of picking up the shipment. The most common forms of off-premises delivery are automated parcel locker or machine (APM) and pick-up and drop-off delivery (PUDO). The aim of the paper is to analyse the level of the PUDO and APM network in European countries and in the V4 countries with regard to the size of the country and the population. For this purpose, it was necessary to focus on determining the population per 1 PUDO and the number of inhabitants per 1 APM in individual European countries and subsequently in the V4 countries. The obtained data were processed and recalculated in Excel. The results showed that within European countries the best values were achieved by Finland with 526 inhabitants per 1 PUDO and Spain with 188 inhabitants per 1 APM. Regarding the V4 countries, the Czech Republic achieved the best value in the case of inhabitants on PUDO with 729 inhabitants per 1 PUDO and in the case of APM Poland with 3,184 inhabitants per 1 APM.

“…Important features of the smart city are, therefore, a cooperation economy, a shared economy, a green economy and a circular economy (Matúšková, M. and Madleňáková, L. 2016). These represent changes in the social paradigm of the position of people in society in the 21 st century, who do not need to own items of daily consumption and are able to use common products thanks to various communication tools (Turská, S. and Madlenáková, L. 2019). People or organizations share the resources at their disposal that they do not make full use of (e.g.…”

The concept of smart city and the perceptions of urban inhabitants: a case study from Žilina, Slovakia

et al. 2021

The smart city concept is a comprehensive approach to the functioning of the urban region. It concerns various areas of life such as culture, infrastructure, environment, energy, and social services. Public perceptions of the smart city concept are not commonly addressed. The aim of this paper is to examine perceptions of the smart city concept among inhabitants, doing so through a case study focusing on the city of Žilina in Slovakia. The methodology that the researchers applied includes primary research and surveys as well as secondary research. Based on the analysis of the environment and the results of the survey, opportunities for the development of a ‘Smart City Žilina’ concept are identified. There is a growing interest in green solutions among the inhabitants of Žilina. A significant number of respondents indicated their support for intelligent waste collection and renewable energy sources. And they were also supportive of green roofs. The update of the strategy must consider a number of steps in waste management, from collection to transport, with a view to the overall recovery of the waste generated. As part of the smart city concept and projects, the public administration and the municipality must communicate effectively with the public. This will require specific approaches and tactical decisions for optimal success.

“…where: A -distribution function of the inter arrival times, B -distribution function of the service times, where m is a number of servers, K -capacity of the system, the maximum number of customers in the system including the one being serviced, where n is the population size, which determines the number of sources of customers, D -service discipline. Exponentially distributed random variables are expressed by M, meaning Markovain or memoryless [22][23].…”

This paper displays the design and application of a model that simulates the queuing system of a fictional post office. Starting point for solving more complicated optimization tasks is to create a system model that consists of elements of reality and the relationships between these elements. The key part of the paper includes the model of a queuing system of a post office created in Anylogic simulation software. The model of the post office displays post office with 5 postal counters, a certain input flow and a certain service time with an exponential probability distribution. The model also includes statistics and cost calculation.
