GreenCityHubs - Last-mile delivery logistics with multiple hubs as well as alternative vehicle and drive technology
Overview
Objectives:
The project involved developing a concept for sustainable inner-city delivery logistics on the basis of inner-city distribution centres and vehicles powered by alternative drives. Setting up inner-city transhipment points (city hubs) should reduce the length of the actual delivery trips and make it easier to use alternative vehicle technologies and drive systems.
Methodology:
A model-based development and optimisation of the technical, geographical and logistical aspects of the problem led to the development of a generally valid model and a workable approach to the problem for each of the three sub-areas. The findings were taken up and implemented by the field partners through a structured implementation recommendation for logistics companies and through integration and visualisation in a web-based platform.
