“…City logistics has recently appropriated an exponential growth of publications [27], [28]. Many novel ideas have been proposed to speed up the city-wide package delivery, such as multi-model express [29], UAV-based (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) delivery [30], and crowdsourced delivery, which is the focus of our paper.…”

City-wide package delivery becomes popular due to the dramatic rise of online shopping. It places a tremendous burden on the traditional logistics industry, which relies on dedicated couriers and is labor-intensive. Leveraging the ridesharing systems is a promising alternative, yet existing solutions are limited to one-hop ridesharing or need consignment warehouses as relays. In this paper, we propose a new package delivery scheme which takes advantage of multi-hop ridesharing and is entirely consignment free. Specifically, a package is assigned to a taxi which is guided to deliver the package all along to its destination while transporting successive passengers. We tackle it with a two-phase solution, named PPtaxi. In the first phase, we use the Multivariate Gauss distribution and Bayesian inference to predict the passenger orders. In the second phase, both the computation efficiency and solution effectiveness are considered to plan package delivery routes. We evaluate PPtaxi with a real-world dataset from an online taxi-taking platform and compare it with multiple benchmarks. The results show that the successful delivery rate of packages with our solution can reach 95% on average during the daytime, and is at most 46.9% higher than those of the benchmarks.

“…Accordingly, two peer-reviewed proceedings journals, "Procedia-Social and Behavioral Sciences" and "Transportation Research Procedia", included in Elsevier were retained, in view of their high quality of papers. The inclusion criteria were derived from Dolati Neghabadi et al [11], whose work summarized the leading research topics of CL development over the years. It is also important to check the recorded information one by one while reading the abstract in parallel.…”

A Scientometrics Review on City Logistics Literature: Research Trends, Advanced Theory and Practice

The contradiction between the contribution of city logistics (CL) to sustainable urban development and its negative externalities is increasingly prominent. Policy supervision measures and the green logistics initiative are also in conflict with the management goal of logistics enterprises. Innovative solutions for CL have attracted increasing research attention worldwide. However, the description of the global research network in the field of CL, research trends, and the discussion of advanced theories and practices have not been systematically reviewed so far. Especially in the past three years, there has been an explosive growth of relevant literature. In this paper, the method of combining scientometric analysis and thematic discussion was adopted to systematically review 513 important works in the literature from 1993 to 2018, aiming to provide a holistic understanding of the status in quo, trends and gaps of CL research, and to further analyze prominent problems. The study has made statistical analyses of the publication year profile, journal allocation and research methods of the included literature, and constructed four kinds of visualized bibliographic information timeline maps for the authorship network, international collaboration network, keywords co-occurrence network and research topic clustering. Then, the three themes summarized by clustering are discussed, mainly focusing on CL strategies and policy, green supply chain management, planning methods, and advanced concepts and practices. Finally, the research gaps framework and agenda were reported. This study contributes to summarizing the research and development of city logistics on the whole, and can also serve as an explorative manual to support sustainable urban freight activities and innovative research.

“…Equations (2) and 3show that truck routes are determined by minimizing the total delivery cost. Equations (4) and (5) guarantee that only one truck visits each zone, and Equations (6) and 7guarantee that one truck departing from the depot returns to the depot [47]. Decision variables x ij are active when a truck travels directly from zone i to zone j.…”

“…Such adverse impacts have prompted substantial interest in improving the operational efficiency of urban goods movement on the part of both the public and private sectors. Government agencies have sought measures to mitigate negative effects caused by freight transport systems in their municipalities [3][4][5][6][7]. Private logistics service providers have endeavored to improve their operational efficiency to satisfy the heightened expectations of customers and to deliver products with shorter life cycles in a timely manner [8][9][10][11].…”

An Effects Analysis of Logistics Collaboration: The Case of Pharmaceutical Supplies in Seoul

This paper estimates the environmental, social and financial effects of logistics collaboration of the existing logistics companies in Seoul, Korea. The truck routing models for collaborative and non-collaborative deliveries are proposed to estimate the collaboration effects. Findings show that both major and minor companies can benefit from logistics collaboration by saving delivery costs and time through economies of scale. The results from the study further indicate that logistics collaboration can mitigate negative environmental impacts resulting from urban logistics by reducing the number of delivery trucks, and shortening delivery times and travel distances. Discussion of related challenges that must be addressed during the implementation of logistic collaboration is included as well.
