Low-Carbon Economy for Last-Mile Delivery

• PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

  • In this project, the highly complex routing optimization for Low Carbon Economy for Last Mile Delivery (LCELMD) under stochastic-dynamic environments and carbon tax policy is addressed. 

  • The cost function is proposed comprising the emissions taxed and the fuel consumption during the traveling and idling and simulated under stochastic-dynamic environment. 

  • The use of integrated simheuristics approach is introduced as effective and efficient optimization framework. project reveals that a short travel distance routing and a fast travel time routing are not necessarily low-cost and low-emission routing. 

  • Finally, the impact of omitting the dynamic-stochastic environment is also studied which can degrade the solution by up to 40%.
