Planning the Future: Innovative Technology for City Logistics

This paper describes the needs to develop proper infrastructure and improved solutions for reducing emissions of last mile distribution and determining vehicle routing optimization with emphasis in city logistics 4.0 that consider urbanization, volatility as well as quality of life and climate change. To this end, the development of an online application is proposed to automate the vehicle routing optimization of electric light goods vehicles (LGVs) in an attempt to enhance the design and management of city logistics.
