Abstract
The market for parcel service providers has been growing dynamically over the past 15 years. Especially the increasing e-commerce is one major factor for this development. According to forecasts, this development will continue in the future, which leads the parcel service providers towards several challenges. They have to adapt their existing networks to the increasing quantity of parcels. For this reason, tools for analyzing the impact of increasing quantity of parcels are necessary. This paper will present hierarchical mesoscopic simulation models of a parcel service provider?s network to support analyzing and planning tasks.
