Abstract | : | In the context of two-echelon delivery, trucks are used for supplies the intermediate depots, namely satellites, and small vehicles are used to deliver demands to the end customers. In this research, we introduce the crowdsourcing transportation system into the two-echelon delivery system. The crowdsourcing system is modelled as occasional drivers (ODs) that travelling around the distribution system. Occasional drivers are independent drivers that have their origin and destination in the system and also willingly transport one or more parcel to another individual (customer). We define this problem as the two-echelon vehicle routing problem with occasional drivers (2EVRPOD). ODs could utilize their available capacity and pick-up the item from meeting points with second echelon vehicles or satellites which are already supplied by first echelon vehicles. We modelled the ODs would serve the demand depend on the cost and the reward. This mode offers greater flexibility by providing more options to the decision-maker. It could lower transportation costs and require less capital investment than a traditional sourcing approach. We formulate this problem as a mixed-integer programming (MIP) and develop an exact method for solving small instances and a metaheuristic algorithm to handle large instances. In general, this study shows that utilizing the OD’s in a two-echelon last-mile delivery distribution system takes advantage of cost-saving and environmental causes where the total transportation route in the system reduced. |
