Abstract

To validate the benefits of shared-use and cargo-sharing applications in urban delivery, we describe a model of the dispatching processes and their necessary factor combinations of production, with respect to the total costs of ownership (TCO) and feasibility. Further, we show how to implement this model as Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) in an experimental declarative software tool to give the dispatcher a tool for fast decision making.
