In addition to its crucial impact on customer satisfaction, last-mile delivery (LMD) is notorious for being the most time-consuming and costly stage of the shipping process. Pressing environmental concerns combined with the recent surge of…

Last-mile delivery of goods has gained a lot of attraction during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, current package delivery processes often lead to parking in the second lane, which in turn has negative effects on the urban environment in…

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…

We investigate the problem of last-mile delivery, where a large pool of citizen crowd-workers are hired to perform a variety of location-specific urban logistics parcel delivering tasks. Current approaches focus on offline scenarios, where…

This paper investigates the end-user acceptance of last-mile delivery carried out by autonomous vehicles within the United States. A total of 296 participants were presented with information on this technology and then asked to complete a…

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…

China is the world's largest automotive market and is ambitious for autonomous vehicles (AVs) development. As one of the key goals of AVs, pedestrian safety is an important issue in China. Despite the rapid development of driverless…

Today is a time of rapid e-commerce development, and Jing Dong, China's e-commerce giant, has taken its place in the highly competitive industry with its self-built logistics system. This paper analyzed the impact of Jing Dong's self-built…

This paper describes an autonomous shuttle which targets providing last-mile transportation. Often, this involves operation in crowded areas with high levels of pedestrian traffic, and little to no lane markings or traffic control. We aim…

Autonomous driving is a hot research topic in the frontier of science and technology. Technology companies and traditional car companies are developing and designing autonomous driving technology from two different directions. Based on the…

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…

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…

Drone delivery has been a hot topic in the industry in the past few years. However, existing approaches either focus on rural areas or rely on centralized drop-off locations from where the last mile delivery is performed. In this paper we…

Recently, numerous studies have investigated cooperative traffic systems using the communication among vehicle-to-everything (V2X). Unfortunately, when multiple autonomous vehicles are deployed while exposed to communication failure, there…

Autonomous vehicles have been actively investigated over the past few decades. Several recent works show the potential of autonomous vehicles in urban environments with impressive experimental results. However, these works note that…

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…

Self-driving vehicles are a maturing technology with the potential to reshape mobility by enhancing the safety, accessibility, efficiency, and convenience of automotive transportation. Safety-critical tasks that must be executed by a…

The e-commerce boom has led to overwhelming demand for personalized delivery services. Accordingly, various start-ups and tech companies provide crowd-shipping services that aim to be more efficient and effective than traditional logistics…

As platforms increasingly deploy robots alongside human labor in last-mile logistics, little is known about how contextual features like product attributes, environmental conditions, and psychological mechanisms shape consumer preference in…

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…
