Abstract

This master thesis examines the extent to which private companies can reduce the 'last mile problem' in the city logistics by stressing the environmental impact of the delivery to their customers. More precisely, this master thesis aims at identifying whether private companies can bring a solution to the 'last mile problem' by highlighting the environmental impact of the home delivery versus the collect point delivery. Indeed, it is often stressed in the literature that collect points can reduce the 'last mile problem' often observed in city logistics. We intend to address this research objective by conducting an controlled experiment among e-commerce consumers.

Abstract

Last Mile delivery represents a particularly complex part of the process of the Supply Chain for a company. It can be described as a multi-objectives problem dealing with environment, cost, congestion, implementation and social impact. All of them should be considered on the process of delivery of a company. Especially in urban city-centres, with the growth of e- commerce, the concept of delivery must change in order to fit the needs of tomorrow. In collaboration with Proximus, this thesis aims to find alternatives of the current delivery method.

Abstract

Smart Cities seek to optimize their systems by increasing integration through approaches such as increased interoperability, seamless system integration, and automation. Thus, they have the potential to deliver substantial efficiency gains and eliminate redundancy. To add to the complexity of the problem, the integration of systems for efficiency gains may compromise the resilience of an urban system. This all needs to be taken into consideration when thinking about Smart Cities. The transportation field must also apply the principles and concepts mentioned above. This cannot be understood without considering its links and effects on the other components of an urban system. New technologies allow for new means of travel to be built, and new business models allow for existing ones to be utilized. This Special Issue puts together papers with different focuses, but all of them tackle the topic of smart mobility.
