Arntz, E.M. (author), van Duin, Ron (author), van Binsbergen, A.J. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author), Klein, T. (author)Introduction: Autonomous delivery robots are a promising alternative for last-mile delivery. To realise successful implementation of delivery robots in public spaces, it is important to study the interaction between robots and the traffic environment. The traffic environment includes the physical infrastructure and the objects using it like cars...journal article 2023

Tapia, R.J. (author), Kourounioti, I. (author), Thoen, Sebastian (author), de Bok, M.A. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdshipping (CS) is an emerging form of freight transport that is expected to reduce the externalities of urban freight transport. The supply of CS services originates from people with an intention to travel, who can choose to engage in a parcel delivery service as incidental carrier. The popular expectation is that this consolidation of...journal article 2023

Karademir, C. (author), Alves Beirigo, B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Atasoy, B. (author)This study considers an integrated water- and land-based transportation (IWLT) system for waste collection. Research on the issue is motivated by increased heavy street movements that damage quay walls as well as congestion. We present a novel two-echelon vehicle routing problem with satellite synchronization based on a two-index formulation and...conference paper 2022

van Duin, Ron (author), Moolenburgh, Ewoud (author), van den Band, Nick (author)Due to population growth in cities the demand for the transport is rising and <br/>therefore a growth of transport movements by trucks and vans can be observed. <br/>These movements have a negative effect on air quality, liveability, noise and safety. LEFVs (Light Electric Freight Vehicles) can be a good solution for last mile deliveries. Today...journal article 2022

Wicaksono, Satrio (author), Lin, X. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Crowdshipping has recently emerged as a sustainable option for urban parcel delivery, where transport tasks are carried out by regular citizens who are engaged in a passenger trip, instead of the usual professional carriers. A key challenge for such as service offering is to maintain a sustainable network of customers (demand) and couriers ...journal article 2022
