Abstract
Off-Peak is an efficient way to transport goods to dense urban environments where congestion and lack of space have a major impact on the productivity of the delivery. Battery Electric Vehicles are quiet and have opened the possibilities for freight deliveries in cities at night. One challenge is that the deliveries must be possible to make without having staff at night to receive the delivery. In the HITS (Sustainable & Integrated Urban Transport System) project, we have accomplished a successful test and proven that unmanned off-peak deliveries can start to be implemented for many applications and can reduce delivery time by 30 percent. One-time encrypted digital smart lock solutions enable the right goods, from the right truck, at the right time, in the right location to get access to, e.g., restaurants after closing hours. In order for offpeak deliveries in a “Physical Internet”-setup to work, data needs to be shared between the actors. One part of the project has studied the prerequisites for data sharing to enable a trustful collaboration between different stakeholders in general. Important factors are the willingness to apply data-driven decision making and trust between the different actors within a supply chain.
