Optimizing Last-Mile Delivery in Urban Areas: A Hybrid Approach

Authors

  • Lilya Sharma Author

Abstract

Last-mile delivery is one of the most challenging aspects of urban logistics. This paper presents a hybrid approach to optimizing last-mile delivery by combining traditional methods with innovative solutions such as drones, autonomous vehicles, and crowd-sourced delivery platforms. We analyze the cost, efficiency, and environmental impact of various last-mile delivery strategies.
