Profit-maximizing parcel locker location problem under threshold Luce model

Yunhui Lin et al.

Summary: This paper studies a parcel locker location problem in the context of the growing complexity of logistics services in the e-commerce industry. The objective is to maximize profit by attracting customers through the introduction of self-service parcel lockers. The paper proposes a combinatorial optimization model that relaxes the strict assumptions of the binomial logit model and the multinomial logit model. The results show that the use of these models can lead to either conservative or aggressive revenue estimation, highlighting the need for a more flexible approach. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the impact of the relative attractiveness of locker services on location decisions, emphasizing the importance of calibrating the input parameters.

A branch-and-price algorithm for location-routing problems with pick-up stations in the last-mile distribution system

Mengtong Wang et al.

Summary: In response to the increasing demand for e-commerce and environmentally friendly urban delivery solutions, package delivery companies are focusing on enhancing user experience and sustainable operations. This study proposes a solution that simultaneously optimizes the location of pick-up stations and the delivery plan of green vehicles to meet customer demand while minimizing costs. The research utilizes mixed-integer programming and a branch-and-price algorithm to find an optimal solution and provides valuable insights for package delivery companies.

A cost-based comparative analysis of different last-mile strategies for e-commerce delivery

Anmol Pahwa et al.

Summary: This study discusses the opportunities and challenges associated with different last-mile strategies for e-commerce delivery. The research finds that traditional last-mile delivery with diesel trucks is a good fit for dense environments with lenient temporal constraints, while outsourcing alternatives can render low-cost distribution in sparsely populated environments with stringent temporal constraints.

Optimal locations and electricity prices for dynamic wireless charging links of electric vehicles for sustainable transportation

Haoxiang Liu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the optimal locations and electricity prices for dynamic wireless charging links of electric vehicles to minimize total social cost while ensuring nonnegative operating profit for the government. A logit-based stochastic user equilibrium model and a linear programming approach are utilized to determine a path recharging plan within a given budget. The problem is solved using an efficient surrogate model-based algorithm.
