Abstract
The rise of e-commerce and same-day delivery services has led to increased freight movement in urban areas adding to negative externalities, including traffic congestion, noise, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigates the performance of a microhub delivery paradigm in combination with crowdshipping. Performance was evaluated by comparing it with the traditional hub-and-spoke delivery service paradigm. The proposed Microhubs with Crowdshipping delivery paradigm aims to reduce the number of trucks and crowdshippers dispatched, their fuel usage and operating costs. The study also investigates the effect of network size on the performance of the proposed paradigm.
