Efficient workload assignment to the workforce is critical in last-mile package delivery systems. In this context, traditional methods of assigning package deliveries to workers based on geographical proximity can be inefficient and surely…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of a last-mile delivery service that selects up to $N$ available vehicles to deliver $M$ packages from a centralized depot to $M$ delivery locations. The objective of the last-mile delivery service…

We consider an e-commerce retailer operating a supply chain that consists of middle- and last-mile transportation, and study its ability to deliver products stored in warehouses within a day from customer's order time. Successful next-day…

Last-mile logistics is regarded as an essential yet highly expensive component of parcel logistics. In dense urban environments, this is partially caused by inherent inefficiencies due to traffic congestion and the disparity and…

A variety of goods and services in the contemporary world requires permanent improvement of services e-commerce platform performance. Modern society is so deeply integrated with mail deliveries, purchasing of goods and services online, that…

We propose a model for optimizing the last-mile delivery of n packages, from a distribution center to their final recipients, using a strategy that combines the use of ride-sharing platforms (e.g., Uber or Lyft) with traditional in-house…

We consider a combined system of regular delivery trucks and crowdsourced drones, available via a sharing economy platform, to provide a technology-assisted crowd-based last-mile delivery experience. We develop analytical models and methods…

Delivering a parcel from the distribution hub to the customer's doorstep is called the \textit{last-mile delivery} step in delivery logistics. In this paper, we study a hybrid {\it truck-drones} model for the last-mile delivery step, in…

In this paper, we investigate the online parcel assignment (OPA) problem, in which each stochastically generated parcel needs to be assigned to a candidate route for delivery to minimize the total cost subject to certain business…

The last-mile problem refers to the provision of travel service from the nearest public transportation node to home or other destination. Last-Mile Transportation Systems (LMTS), which have recently emerged, provide on-demand shared…

One innovative solution to the last-mile delivery problem is the self-service locker system. Motivated by a real case in Singapore, we consider a POP-Locker Alliance who operates a set of POP-stations and wishes to improve the last-mile…

Consider a storage area where arriving items are stored temporarily in bounded capacity stacks until their departure. We look into the problem of deciding where to put an arriving item with the objective of minimizing the maximum number of…

This study explores the potential of using public transportation systems for freight delivery, where we intend to utilize the spare capacities of public vehicles like buses, trams, metros, and trains, particularly during off-peak hours, to…

Motivated by ride-sharing platforms' efforts to reduce their riders' wait times for a vehicle, this paper introduces a novel problem of placing vehicles to fulfill real-time pickup requests in a spatially and temporally changing…

We study routing for on-demand last-mile logistics with two crucial novel features: i) Multiple depots, optimizing where to pick-up every order, ii) Allowing vehicles to perform depot returns prior to being empty, thus adapting their routes…

Motivated by distribution problems arising in the supply chain of Haleon, we investigate a discrete optimization problem that we call the "container delivery scheduling problem". The problem models a supplier dispatching ordered products…

Companies like Amazon and UPS are heavily invested in last-mile delivery problems. Optimizing last-delivery operations not only creates tremendous cost savings for these companies but also generate broader societal and environmental…

The Last Mile Delivery (LMD) refers to the last and most inefficient part of the supply chain. This is caused by the spatial distribution of disperse small receiving points, the ever-growing demand for faster shipment and the new time…

In pursuit of a more sustainable and cost-efficient last mile, parcel lockers have gained a firm foothold in the parcel delivery landscape. To fully exploit their potential and simultaneously ensure customer satisfaction, successful…

On-demand delivery has become increasingly popular around the world. Motivated by a large grocery chain store who offers fast on-demand delivery services, we model and solve a stochastic dynamic driver dispatching and routing problem for…
