Abstract | This study introduces a synchronized passenger and freight co-modality problem (SPFCP), exploring a crowdsourced co-modality transportation mode where passengers, viewed as an external crowd, volunteer to participate in logistics activities in exchange for compensation. In SPFCP, decision-makers have the option to utilize both crowdsourced passengers (CPs) and self-operated professional couriers (PCs) for deliveries. We formalize the problem and employ a population-based variable neighborhood search to solve it. Our findings indicate that the availability of CPs crucially enhances delivery capacity and efficiency, with the system benefiting from a larger pool of CPs and a higher variability in their travel distances. However, challenges arise from extreme average parcel distances, necessitating precise matching for short distances and extensive crowdsourced resources for long distances. The study underscores the viability of integrating crowdsourced logistics into urban transport systems, suggesting a strategic balance between leveraging crowdsourced solutions and managing logistical complexities. |
