Last-mile delivery with traditional delivery trucks is ecologically unfriendly and leads to high road utilization. Thus, cities seek for different delivery options to solve these problems. One promising option is the use of cargo bikes in last-mile delivery. These bikes are typically released at micro hubs, which are small containers or facilities located at advantageous places in the city center. Since the bike’s travel speed depends on its remaining load and the street gradient, placing the hubs at valleys might cause additional work for rides. Therefore, the following question arises: How high is the impact of load-dependent travel times on micro hubs’ cost-optimal placements?

货运自行车的时间窗和负载相关行驶时间的位置路径问题


使用传统送货卡车进行最后一英里配送对生态不友好，并导致道路利用率高。因此，城市寻求不同的交付选项来解决这些问题。一个有前途的选择是在最后一英里交付中使用货运自行车。这些自行车通常在微型枢纽发布，微型枢纽是位于市中心有利位置的小型集装箱或设施。由于自行车的行驶速度取决于其剩余负载和街道坡度，因此将轮毂放置在山谷可能会导致额外的骑行工作。因此，出现了以下问题：与负载相关的行驶时间对微型中心的成本最优放置的影响有多大？
