This research project, carried out in collaboration with the Freight and Logistics Lab at Delft University of Technology, focuses on last-mile logistics. The primary objective is to investigate and deepen the potential of a sustainable freight distribution system involving parcel lockers and cargo bicycles, to pursue sustainable urban freight development. The research stems from the aims of the LEAD project, an acronym for "Low-Emission Adaptive last mile logistics supporting the on-demand economy through Digital Twins", which received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. The subject of this case study is the Dutch city of The Hague, the political center of the nation, for which the Mass-GT model capable of simulating urban transportation networks has been implemented. In this way, it was possible to create a tool to evaluate the efficiency of the freight distribution system from the point of view of sustainability, through the appropriate key performance indicators. Furthermore, in order to delve deeper into the considered transportation system, an alternative to cargo bicycles was considered, evaluating the possibility of using drone freight transportation. Finally, through multi-criteria analysis, it was possible to evaluate the best alternative, comparing the positive and negative aspects of freight transport using cargo bicycles and drones, from the perspective of the community and public administration.
Questo progetto di ricerca, svolto in collaborazione con il Freight and Logistics Lab della Delft University of Technology, ha come tematica centrale la logistica dell’ultimo miglio. L’obiettivo primario è quello di indagare ed approfondire le potenzialità di un sistema di distribuzione merci sostenibile che prevede l’utilizzo di parcel lockers e biciclette cargo, al fine di perseguire uno sviluppo sostenibile per il trasporto merci urbano. La ricerca nasce dalle finalità del progetto LEAD, acronimo di "Low-Emission Adaptive last mile logistics supporting the on-demand economy through Digital Twins", che ha ricevuto fondi dal programma di ricerca e innovazione Horizon 2020 dell'Unione Europea. L’oggetto del caso studio è la città olandese del L’Aia, centro politico della nazione, per la quale è stato implementato il modello Mass-GT in grado di simulare le reti di trasporto urbano. In questo modo, è stato possibile creare uno strumento che permette di valutare l’efficienza del sistema distributivo merci ideato dal punto di vista della sostenibilità, attraverso gli opportuni indicatori chiave di prestazione. Successivamente, al fine di addentrarsi maggiormente all’interno del sistema di trasporto considerato, si è considerata un’alternativa alle biciclette cargo, valutando la possibilità di ricorrere al trasporto merci tramite droni. Infine, attraverso l’analisi multicriteria, è stato possibile valutare l’alternativa migliore, confrontando gli aspetti positivi e negativi del trasporto merci tramite biciclette cargo e droni, ponendosi dal punto di vista della collettività e dell’amministrazione pubblica.

Abstract
This research project, carried out in collaboration with the Freight and Logistics Lab at Delft University of Technology, focuses on last-mile logistics. The primary objective is to investigate and deepen the potential of a sustainable freight distribution system involving parcel lockers and cargo bicycles, to pursue sustainable urban freight development. The research stems from the aims of the LEAD project, an acronym for "Low-Emission Adaptive last mile logistics supporting the on-demand economy through Digital Twins", which received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. The subject of this case study is the Dutch city of The Hague, the political center of the nation, for which the Mass-GT model capable of simulating urban transportation networks has been implemented. In this way, it was possible to create a tool to evaluate the efficiency of the freight distribution system from the point of view of sustainability, through the appropriate key performance indicators. Furthermore, in order to delve deeper into the considered transportation system, an alternative to cargo bicycles was considered, evaluating the possibility of using drone freight transportation. Finally, through multi-criteria analysis, it was possible to evaluate the best alternative, comparing the positive and negative aspects of freight transport using cargo bicycles and drones, from the perspective of the community and public administration.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
