Abstract

Ride- Parcel- Pooling expands conventional ride-pooling on-demand mobility services. It does not only offer passengers shared rides but also integrates parcels into the assignment problem to increase vehicle utilization during times of low passenger demand. This article examines the potential behind the combination of on-demand mobility and city logistics using a case study for the city of Munich, Germany. We examined and evaluated the effects of Ride-Parcel-Pooling in three different scenarios. The first scenario replicates the status quo (two separate services for passenger and parcel delivery), while scenarios two and three examine different forms of combining on-demand mobility and city logistics. This study shows that about 80 % of the distance traveled to provide logistics services could be saved. Within the case study, this work also provides insights on the environmental impacts of Ride-Parcel-Pooling by analyzing the most prominent global and local emission parameters of road traffic. Results show a reduction of overall CO2emissions as well as of the investigated local air pollutants NOx, PM10, CO, and SO2.
