• Last-mile delivery
– e.g. Amazon Flex, Walmart, DHL
• Inventory Monitoring
– e.g., Gigwalk
Current Practices
Key Research Challenges
• Planning and recommending tasks with
uncertainty in workers’ movement patterns
• Pricing of bundles for workers
• Fairness
9. • Recommend tasks to users that minimizes their
detour from their “expected” future paths
• Create an experimental platform that helps study
behavioral aspects of crowdsourcing
Task Bundling
Pricing
Truthfulness
• Investigate the feasibility of crowdsourcing as an
enabler of SMU’s “smart campus” vision
• Extend to crowdsourcing citizen participation in
municipal services

10. Urban Consolidation Center (UCC)
A facility in which freight
flows from outside the city
are consolidated with the
objective to bundle inner-
city transportation
activities so as to reduce
volume of distribution
activities in the city
1. Consolidation
2. Warehousing
3. Cross docking
4. Last-mile delivery
11. Stakeholders
• aims to
- reduce costs of goods
distribution in urban areas
- increase flexibility, speed and
service level and supporting
adding additional value
creation
- improve city's social &
environ- mental situation
through the use of business &
decision analytics
• addresses city's & industry’s
needs
• leverages city and government
authorities as major supporters
• promotes innovative and best-
practice solutions across
academia and industry
Collaborative Urban Logistics
Collaborative Urban Logistics
…..as enablers
• Implement policies to reduce city
challenges, e.g. pollution, congestion
• Support urban logistics through
regulations or incentives, e.g., city toll,
delivery restrictions, etc.
Authorities
….as customers
• Implement products to reduce cost,
increase flexibility, speed and
service level
• Implement solutions that increase
the value add for the customer
Business
owners
Service
Providers
….as partners
• Implement optimized and
collaborative services
• Design innovative solutions that
further increase productivity
Challenge: Get stakeholders to collaborate, i.e. need
a win-win solution to participate in the UCC

12. Collaborative Urban Logistics
Research Challenges
• Data collection and analytics on urban freight flows
• Behavioral modeling of shippers, carriers and
receivers
• Design of mechanisms that enable multiple parties to
consolidate loads and coordinate delivery timings to
achieve system efficiency and cost effectiveness
• Design of an e-marketplace platform
14. Multi-Modal Logistics
• 4 factors driving demand for multi-modal logistics:
a) Cross-border e-Commerce
b) Speed- to-market product delivery
c) Integrated supply chain management
d) Establishment of new routes under OBOR
• EU Framework Programme Projects
– e-Freight: an electronic framework for multimodal transport
of goods among all EU freight transport stakeholders
– iCargo: support new intermodal logistics services:
synchronise vehicle movements and logistics
operations; adapt to changes through an intelligent
cargo concept and develop an open freight
management ecosystem 14
17. Multi-Modal Logistics Challenges:
From Fragmentation to Coordination
• Operational Challenges:
– Transportation infrastructure is built by modal agencies that
historically did not interact
– Transportation companies are still structured around modes
– Difficulty to have a single multimodal operator to handle
end-to-end delivery
17
• Research Challenges:
a) Collaboration and Alliance mechanisms among partners
b) Data-driven real-time Decision Support Systems for
managing multimodal transport
18. • Develop sophisticated multi-modal
transportation models through the use of
data analytics and AI planning & scheduling
• Multi-modal logistics challenges:
– Strategic
– Tactical
– Operational
