RELM: Reducing Emissions of Last Mile

City Logistics play a fundamental role in the economic development of cities. At the same time, the rise of e-commerce and home-deliveries is creating additional congestion, causing several externalities. The overall aim of this project is to establish an open source evaluation framework, coupling optimization and simulation for innovative last mile (LM) deliveries. RELM provided an exploration of the effects of innovative LM delivery to emissions and energy consumption, taking into account demand-supply interactions, something that to the best of the applicant’s knowledge is missing.
