Abstract
This paper explores the integration of public transport networks for urban freight deliveries within the framework of Hyperconnected City Logistics (HCL), focusing on multistakeholder perspectives. By synergizing freight and passenger networks, the study optimizes parcel consolidation and containerization in the urban middle-mile, efficiently moving parcels between access hubs during off-peak hours to reduce reliance on dedicated freight vehicles. The model is validated through computational experiments based on public transport system, evaluating various collaboration strategies among multiple logistics service providers. Specifically, it examines three consolidation policies: independent, where each provider reserves its own vehicle; partially shared, where different providers share the same vehicle, but containers remain separate; and fully integrated, where parcels from different providers are consolidated in the same container. To compare policies, a realistic case study based on the city of Bordeaux, provides insights into the operational and collaborative potential of integrating public transport into urban logistics.
