The purpose of the study in this paper is to provide details regarding the initiatives and programs for utilizing the untapped potentials of the users present on different social media sites by training them or guiding them to use their energy in something which will bring good results for them and make them digital influencers. Researchers who are working effectively in this research field are utilizing the qualitative research method. The research data related to it was obtained from Amazon programs, blogs, social media, and e-commerce sites, and it is shared descriptively. The finding from this paper indicates that the creation of programs like this will undoubtedly benefit social media users and improve the way social media is currently used by most people. The way forward to make it possible, multiple hurdles need to be passed for successfully implementing this program. The paper will be limited to the extent to which the motive behind it is clearly described, then describe the possible ways for creating this program and how it will work, and lastly, what effect the initiative will have on the social media users and the e-commerce market.

“…During recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the resilience of freight systems. Many studies on the topic of resilience reported in the literature cover a wide range of mode-specific problems, such as port coalitions [7], train intermodal transportation [8], airline cargo transportation [9] and urban delivery [10,11]. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been fresh interest in resilient last-mile delivery, especially smart mobility-assisted delivery.…”

This paper examines the challenges associated with the efficient planning and operation of an E-grocery delivery system using Autonomous Delivery Robots (ADR) during unforeseen events. The primary objective is to minimize unfulfilled customer demands rather than focusing solely on cost reduction, considering the humanitarian aspect. To address this, a two-echelon vehicle routing problem is formulated, taking into account stochastic service times and demands. Two models, namely a deterministic model and a chance-constraint model, are employed to solve this problem. The results demonstrate that the chance-constraint model significantly reduces unmet demands compared to the deterministic model, particularly when the delivery deadline has a broad time window and the ADR/van speed ratio is moderate.

“…In the United States (US), a significant share of the rising urban mobility demand is attributed to on-demand deliveries. While in 2009, online sales represented only 4% of total US retail sales, by 2019, this figure had risen to 11%, and by 2021, it had reached 15% [3]. E-commerce, while potentially reducing the number of trips to physical stores, tends to encourage more frequent purchases, resulting in complex delivery routes with high stop frequency [4,5].…”

In recent years, the rapid growth of on-demand delivery services, especially in food deliveries, has spurred the exploration of innovative mobility solutions. In this context, lightweight autonomous vehicles have emerged as a potential alternative. However, their fleet-level behavior remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, we have developed an agent-based model and an environmental impact study assessing the fleet performance of lightweight autonomous food delivery vehicles. This model explores critical factors such as fleet sizing, service level, operational strategies, and environmental impacts. We have applied this model to a case study in Cambridge, MA, USA, where results indicate that there could be significant environmental benefits in replacing traditional car-based deliveries with shared lightweight autonomous vehicle fleets. Lastly, we introduce an interactive platform that offers a user-friendly means of comprehending the model’s performance and potential trade-offs, which can help inform decision-makers in the evolving landscape of food delivery innovation.
