Track Description

Daily logistics operations within urban areas are subject to a wide range of uncertainties such as unsuccessful delivery attempts as well as dynamic traffic and parking situations. Simulation and optimization have become highly valuable methods to investigate and optimize related problem settings. This track is dedicated on recent advances and approaches exploring research and applications of simulation and optimization methods in urban logistics and supply chain management.

The track focalizes on “Modelling urban logistics systems”. Topics of interest are:

  • Last-mile distribution and city logistics concepts.
  • Sustainable commercial modes of transport such as cargo-bike and e-mobility.
  • Urban consolidation strategies.
  • Loading, unloading and transshipment systems dedicated to urban operations.
  • Time slot management.
  • Omni-channeling including click & collect and various home-delivery concepts.
  • Environmental, social and policy aspects.

Nevertheless different topics concerning Ports and Terminals Modelling are welcome.
