(TU Delft Transport Engineering and Logistics) Schulte, F. (TU Delft Transport Engineering and Logistics) Negenborn, R.R. (TU Delft Transport Engineering and Logistics) Date 2018 Abstract In the realm of human urban transportation, many recent studies have shown that comparatively smaller fleets of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) are able to provide efficient door-to-door transportation services for city dwellers. However, because of the steady growth of e-commerce and same-day delivery services, new city logistics approaches will also be required to deal with last-mile parcel delivery challenges. We focus on modeling a variation of the people and freight integrated transportation problem (PFIT problem) in which both passenger and parcel requests are pooled in mixed-purpose compartmentalized SAVs. Such vehicles are supposed to combine freight and passenger overlapping journeys on the shared mobility infrastructure network. We formally address the problem as the share-a-ride with parcel lockers problem (SARPLP), implement a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation, and compare the performance of single-purpose and mixed-purpose fleets on 216 transportation scenarios. For 149 scenarios where the solver gaps of the experimental results are negligible (less than 1%), we have shown that mixed-purpose fleets perform in average 11% better than single-purpose fleets. Additionally, the results indicate that the busier is the logistical scenario the better is the performance of the mixed-purpose fleet setting.
