“…Cities act as sophisticated systems exemplified by many interconnected residents and communities and various modes of transport and facilities. A smart city needs urban space to be rethought to optimise the flow of traffic and increase and encourage the use of non-motorised transport, such as pedestrian movement (Makarova et al. , 2017).…”

PurposeThe emerging concept of smart city is known to aim at sustainable urban development. One of the requirements for a smart city is to address accessibility inequalities. This study aims to investigate the accessibility level issues in urban transformation before and after combining different street networks for Penang, Malaysia, as a case study to reveal greater insight and helpful information into mobility and accessibility inequalities for future smart city planning.Design/methodology/approachUsing DepthmapX software, two main quantitative methodologies of space syntax, namely, spatial integration accessibility (SIA) and angular segment analysis by metric distance (ASDMA), are employed to analyse the level of accessibility for the main streets of George Town site before and after combination with contemporary networks. Integration, choice and entropy values were calculated for the study analysis.FindingsResults revealed the implications of combining old irregular gridiron structures with the existing planned grid structures. George Town seems to have gained a higher capacity for pedestrian accessibility; however, vehicle accessibility has lost its capacity. Findings further suggest that a combination of irregular structure and grid structure is essential for urban growth in similar historical contexts to improve accessibility and address mobility inequalities.Originality/valueThe study concludes by highlighting the importance of the analysis of street structure transformation to predict consequences and promote the potential to reduce current inequalities in vehicle accessibility.

“…As cost minimisation is one of the primary goals of distribution logistics, much attention in recent literature is focused on suggesting to interested companies how to limit delivery costs while minimising pollutant emissions (Dekker et al, 2012 [2]; Bektaş et al, 2019 [3]; Heshmati et al, 2019 [4]). In particular, taking into account also the social need and the impact that the distribution of goods has on citizens, in the current decade, many studies have been proposed aimed at sustainable urban mobility, especially from a smart city perspective (Nathanail et al, 2016 [5]; Behnke and Kirschstein, 2017 [6]; Carrabs et al, 2017 [7]; Marakova et al, 2017 [8]; Cerulli et al, 2018 [9]; Strale, 2019 [10]; Cerrone and Sciomachen, 2022 [11]). This concern is deeply considered in cities not only with high populational density but also with a lack of parking spaces and pickup-delivery stations, which will potentially lead to unnecessary vehicular movements and increase carbon emissions (UNFCCC, 2015 [12]).…”

This paper deals with a variant of the multifacility location-routing problem in urban areas. The distribution network is modelled by an undirected graph, in which the nodes are split into a set of pickup-delivery stations, a depot, and a set of customers. The arcs represent the minimum-cost connections between nodes. A customer is assigned to a pickup-delivery station if he or she can reach it at the lowest sustainable cost, i.e., on foot or by bicycle, without exceeding a predefined maximum distance. The goal is to minimise the goods’ total delivery cost, including pollutant emissions. In this perspective, both travel distance and means of transport play a key role. We present an exact novel approach based on partitioning the research space of the solutions of a Mixed Integer Linear Programming model. In the model, Boolean decisional variables, representing the selection of the locations for the pickup-delivery stations, are fixed simultaneously with the solution of the classical Travelling Salesman Problem. A branching constraint allows us to determine the route that serves the selected pickup-delivery stations and the route, if any, that serves customers who do not go to any pickup-delivery station. We conduct extensive experimentation to test the proposed approach’s computational efficiency and analyse the optimal solution’s robustness with respect to the maximum distance of customers from the stations, their activation cost and the pollutant emissions. The effectiveness of the proposed approach in terms of solution quality and computation time is certified by a set of computational tests based on randomly generated instances with up to 150 customers and 30 pickup-delivery stations. The application of the proposed exact method to a case study related to a district of the city of Genoa (Italy) confirms its validity also for sustainably addressing real-size urban delivery problems. An evaluation of incentives for customers using pickup-delivery stations, possibly by implementing discount policies on orders, is also proposed.

Bicycle sharing systems are implemented to increase the use of bicycles worldwide. The potential demand for bicycle sharing stations and the appropriate selection of the locations of the stations profoundly affect the success of these systems. University campuses with a high young population and convenient distances for bicycle use, determine the sphere of the study. In this study, a geographic information system (GIS) based multi-criteria decision-making system is proposed to determine the bicycle routes and sharing stations in Balikesir University Cagis Campus in the most appropriate way. In this context, primarily, cycling routes in the campus are determined by using geographic information systems. Afterwards, GIS and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is a widely used multi-criteria decision-making method, is used together to determine the most appropriate bike sharing stations for the use of students and staff on campus. With the recommended bike sharing system, it is aimed to transform the campus into a more efficient atmosphere in environmental and social terms, and to provide a healthier environment for students and staff in terms of physical and mental aspects. Within the scope of the study carried out on the Cagis Campus, it is thought that the method used provides efficiency in determining the locations of the most proper bike sharing stations and constitutes a more dynamic and environmentally friendly transportation opportunity within the campus.
