Abstract
The advent and growth E-Commerce has led to not only a huge increase in demand for rapid and guaranteed transport/delivery services, but also in the numbers of vehicles entering and leaving urban cities to deliver goods and services, clogging the roads and polluting the air. Seeking efficient usage of resources is inarguable. Motivated by these challenges, this Paper studies the design of hyperconnected parcel network design in line with the Physical Internet initiatives, modelling it as a coalition-formation game. The objective is to design a cooperative parcel delivery network among multiple delivery actors such that the actors within the same coalition can share resources. We develop a case study of La Poste to understand the impact of coalitional decisions and cost-sharing methods on the global and individual network design cost.
