Wang, S. (author), Zhu, Xiaoning (author), Shang, Pan (author), Lin, X. (author), Yang, Liya (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)The considerable increase in parcel deliveries has negatively impacted the accessibility and livability of cities. One solution strategy is to decouple short-distance from long-distance shipping so that last-mile transport can be performed with low-footprint vehicles. Such solutions are referred to in the literature as multi-echelon...journal article 2024

Hasenaar, Hendrik (author)In this report, a proposal for a sustainable last mile is given. Inner city logistics brings many problems with it regarding livability in the city; polluting vans standing in the way on the road or the sidewalk and driving too fast because of high demands of the consumer and competitive nature of carriers. Unsustainable practices are being...master thesis 2023

Warns, Ruben (author)Innovation, akin to crafting a novel recipe, involves identifying problems, experimenting, testing, and sharing solutions. This study delves into "reuse innovations," which emphasize prolonging product usage before disposal. A prime exemplar is Home Carbonation Kits (HCKs), which can replace over 3000 single-use water bottles. Despite the...master thesis 2023

Ahmad, Amna (author)The Bayesian approach is a very important approach for tackling problems in statistics. It involves choosing a distribution that reflects the prior knowledge and thus takes all knowledge into account in contrast to the frequentist approach. It also assumes that the parameters (the regression coefficients) follow a distribution called the...bachelor thesis 2023
