| Abstract: | Sustainable urban logistics has become challenging over the course of the last decades due to logistics sprawl and increased demands of goods in urban areas. To overcome this problem, a fine-grained network of decoupling hubs, separating suppliers and customers in a spacial and timely manner, are needed. The paper at hand introduces a model of how to calculate optimal decoupling hub locations within urban areas with the goal that inhabitants walk or cycle to the next decoupling hub and do not take a motorised vehicle. The study at hand uses the northern district of Zurich as unit of analysis and shows that by using the developed model, 80% of the inhabitants need to walk less than 250 metres to their next decoupling hub, which is within the radius of 100 metres to the next public transport stop. This supports the integration of picking up or dropping off deliveries while commuting. |
