“…Thus, the maximum willingness to work as crowd-shippers [21], expected pay value per delivery [31], and travel time tolerance issues [32] were studied. The potential readiness of people to be couriers was studied using survey methods [31,33], regression and correlation analysis [12,32] interviews [34], modeling [35][36][37]. Analysis of methods used in crowd shipping is presented in Table 1.…”

The article studies the development of crowd shipping technologies in the Old Town of Bratislava. The paper aims to assess the potential for implementation of the crowdsourcing technology in the transport system of Bratislava. Methodology: An interview with the entrepreneurs in this area was conducted to assess the potential demand. In the survey, we collected information about type of goods; operations, quantities, and frequency of delivery; willingness to pay for one delivery among others. Based on the results, the freight demand, and its characteristics were assessed. The second part of the paper is devoted to assessing the supply of logistics to meet the demand. A survey of the willingness of ordinary travelers to work as an occasional courier was conducted. In the end, the equilibrium of demand and supply in the crowd shipping market in Bratislava is presented. The regression and correlation analysis were performed to understand the relationship between parameters of demand and delivery quantities in the first part of the research, sociodemographic characteristics of nonprofessional couriers, and the maximum weight of the parcel nonprofessional couriers agree to delivery. The willingness to pay per delivery was determined for respondents of different genders. Key findings: The results of the survey allowed us to estimate the freight demand for the Old Town of Bratislava, as well as to understand the needs of potential demand for crowd shipping services. The results of the second questionnaire show the sociodemographic characteristics of nonprofessional couriers (age, gender, gender, income, travel time) significantly influence the decision to participate in the delivery market.

“…Their study indicated that a mi xed model of crowdsourcing delivery and conventional logistics can save up to 62% of costs. Dupljanin et al (2019) used total delivered parcels and just-in-time delivery rates to quantify the performance of crowdsourcing delivery under different transpor t modes for m inim izing the transport cost. Arslan et al (2019) considered adopting a crowdsourcing delivery mode consolidating the dedicated vehicles of logistics businesses and ad hoc drivers' vehicles (crowdsourcing couriers' vehicles).…”

Recently, the last-mile delivery problem of rural e-commerce has emerged and became a bottleneck issue, due to the booming development of rural e-commerce which drives the vigorous growth of upstream agricultural products and downstream industrial products. This paper takes rural areas of China as a case study to discuss the last-mile delivery cost under crowdsourcing logistics. Owing to the absence of theoretical guidance on rural crowdsourcing logistics, the paper firstly intends to explore the theoretical framework of rural crowdsourcing logistics in terms of multi-level perspective (MLP). Then, the couriers' willingness coefficient is introduced to develop a mathematical optimization model containing time windows and vehicle capacity constraints, and the heuristic algorithm is applied to solve the model. The final results indicate that the transportation cost and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) can be saved 23.85% and 37.38% respectively, compared with conventional rural logistics. Besides, analysis indicates that under certain conditions the approach of crowdsourcing delivery can be economically competitive and has valuable implication for unchoking the last-mile delivery problem of other similar rural regions.

“…For example, transhipment DC works with zero stock balance, and there are lower operational costs. The expenses for each delivery type are also highly dependent on pallet height [20]. In the case of DC order delivery -1.5 meters, and, in case of Store order delivery, the height of pallet is 1.2 meters (or 1.25 times lower).…”

In this study, the author investigates a two-stage transport system, which consists of several warehouses and demand points grouped into clusters. The study aims to identify the combination of shipping and delivery strategies, which implementation in two-stage transport system increase efficiency. To achieve this objective, the author models the costs associated with the application of those strategies in different transport solutions, proposes a framework useful for efficiency evaluation and its practical application. During a case study, the author investigates those transport solutions and specifies the most economically attractive ones allowing to achieve costs reduction for products supply to each cluster. According to the case study analysis, approximately 47 % of costs could be minimised in the transport system by applying the transportation solution, which includes the combination of store order shipping and direct store delivery strategies. The scientific novelty of this research is the application of the proposed framework for efficiency examination in the two-stage transport system.
