Hypercube Queueing Model to Estimate the Level of Service for Delivery Vehicles depending on the Location of Urban Loading and Unloading Bays: Application for Santiago, Chile
Abstract. Urban logistics and last-mile distribution are a fundamental process in everyday activities for any city. Among the most attractive options to improve last mile distribution operations in urban areas is the implementation of loading and unloading bays (LUBs), since it is a costeffective solution with a short-term implementation period. LUBs appear as a good solution, especially since parking spaces and its regulations are natural proposal for authorities and may be adapted easily to the context and characteristics of each city. However, in order to implement a successful plan, we need to determine the number and location of loading and unloading bays. Aspects as intensity of distribution activities and the coverage of demand for each bay have to be considered. But also, vehicle parking behavior, the zone’s legislation, and physical characteristics of the area, could impact on the quantity and specific position of each bay. In this work, we propose a disaggregated model to evaluate local queues at each bay. The proposed disaggregated model considers blocks as feasible locations of bays and determines the level of service for delivery vehicles given the number of bays in each block. These levels of services are obtained evaluating the delays at each location using the hypercube queueing model, originally proposed by Larson (1973). The proposed model is then applied to a case study of the Santiago`s CBD in which the historical center was divided into 60 zones.

Cleaner urban delivery vehicles: a discussion of economic, logistical, and environmental tradeoffs.
Abstract. Private companies and public officials are seeking sustainable and cost effective ways to green supply chains and freight deliveries. There is a lot of enthusiasm regarding the potential benefits that cleaner technologies such as electric trucks, cargo bikes, or drones can generate. This presentation reviews the main characteristics and tradeoffs of each vehicle type. Key insights that arise from modeling economic, logistical, and environmental performance are discussed.
