Title
Natural evolution tells us how to best make goods delivery: use vans.
Abstract
Nowadays, city streets are populated not only by private vehicles but also by public transport, distribution of goods, and deliveries. Since each vehicle class has a maximum cargo capacity, we study in this article how authorities could improve the road traffic by changing the different vehicle proportions: sedans, minivans, full-size vans, trucks, and motorbikes, without losing the ability of moving cargo throughout the city. We have performed our study in a realistic scenario and defined a multi-objective optimization problem to be solved, so as to minimize these city metrics. Our results provide a scientific evidence that we can improve the delivery of goods in the city by reducing the number of heavy duty vehicles and fostering the use of full-size vans instead.
