Collaborative Transportation for Attended Home Delivery

Activity: Talks and presentationsTalk or oral contributionScience to Science

Description

A challenge of last-mile deliveries is that customers and freight forwarders mutually agree on delivery time windows upon request arrival while future demand is stochastic. This may lead to situations where some deliveries are costlier than anticipated. We investigate whether the exchange of requests by means of
horizontal carrier collaboration can reduce the total costs of delivery. Thus, we integrate ideas of auctionbased request exchange in acceptance mechanisms of attended home deliveries. We show that request exchange allows for higher efficiency of attended home delivery operations.
