“…Connected and automated vehicles have the potential to deliver great benefits in terms of enhancing road safety, reducing traffic emission, optimising road efficiency and improving social inclusion [ 23 ]. They also potentially bring new opportunities to fundamentally change urban mobility and logistics services [ 34 ]. Among the vehicles equipped with higher levels of automation systems (SAE Level 3 and over), Level 4 automated vehicles could include a failsafe mode which ensures the safety of the vehicle in urgent situations where the vehicle is out of the designed service areas [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Connected and automated vehicles have the potential to deliver significant environmental, safety, economic and social benefits. The key advancement for automated vehicles with higher levels of automation (SAE Level 4 and over) is fail-operational. One possible solution for the failsafe mode of automated vehicles is a 5G-enabled teleoperation system controlled by remote drivers. However, knowledge is missing regarding understanding of the human–machine interaction in teleoperation from the perspective of remote drivers. To address this research gap, this study qualitatively investigated the acceptance, attitudes, needs and requirements of remote drivers when teleoperating a 5G-enabled Level 4 automated vehicle (5G L4 AV) in the real world. The results showed that remote drivers are positive towards the 5G L4 AV. They would like to constantly monitor the driving when they are not controlling the vehicle remotely. Improving their field of vision for driving and enhancing the perception of physical motion feedback are the two key supports required by remote drivers in 5G L4 AVs. The knowledge gained in this study provides new insights into facilitating the design and development of safe, effective and user-friendly teleoperation systems in vehicle automation.

“…Using crowdsourcing for logistics and last-mile delivery has been the subject of multiple prior research studies and has been the focus of city logistics-based technological innovation (Kaspi et al , 2022; Kızıl and Yıldız, 2022). Furthermore, as two of the most important components of e-commerce are home delivery and fragmentation of the orders, it compels the transportation services to be extremely dynamic, often leading to a mismatch between the size of the vehicles and the volume of the delivery (Iwan et al , 2016).…”

“…Statistics have exhibited that apparels and shoes form the largest genre of returned goods, and over 80% of online shoppers look at the return policy before committing to a purchase (Magneto, 2020). Thus, the exponential rise of e-commerce has further led to the development of an independent new wing of logistics – “Product Return Management” (Ambilkar et al , 2022; Kaspi et al , 2022).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the conditions for the financial feasibility of an incentive-based model for self-drop or crowdsourced drop of the product to be returned at designated drop boxes (thereby ensuring a contactless process). Design/methodology/approach Constraint-based non-linear mathematical modeling was done for cost differential with and without crowdsourcing. This was analyzed against returns on investment for the installed infrastructure. Scenarios were looked into from the linear, iso-elastic and logarithmic demand functions to identify the optimal incentive policy. The results were further evaluated using “willingness to return” for customer willingness for product returns via drop boxes. Findings Crowdsourcing is viable when product returns are no more than 15%–20% of the overall products, with a logistics cost differential of 15%–25%. These were only viable when the product return incentive was within the range of 15%–20% of the product cost, as well as the penalty was in the range of 25 to 40% for wrong returns. Research limitations/implications The findings are expected to aid the organizations in successfully designing product return policies while adhering to the post-COVID-19 norms, including contactless transactions and social distancing. Originality/value The study provides a look into the viability sensitivity of effective gains/profitability against the required level of service for returns, wrong returns, penalties and incentives for crowdsourcing in a developing country like India.

“…A study on urban consolidation center initiatives identified financial-, practical-, social-, cultural-, and goods-specific barriers [10]. Other studies have identified barriers to adopting smart lockers [11], vendor-managed inventories [12], bike sharing [13], crowd shipping [14][15][16], bicycle logistics [17][18][19], and electric and autonomous vehicles [20][21][22].…”

The purpose of this study is to provide a system perspective on the barriers to the development of a fossil-free and thus more sustainable urban freight system and to provide insights regarding these barriers and how they impede progress. The system perspective complements earlier research, where barriers were identified in delimited parts of freight systems. Here, the urban freight system in a Swedish city is explored using an inductive and qualitative approach, according to which barriers are both detailed and categorized. This study is based on empirical data concerning the perceptions of multiple stakeholders in one system. The interrelationships between barrier categories and changes to the urban freight system are explored through management theory. This study provides a unique overview of the barriers to development in one system and insights concerning these barriers and how they impede development of the system. Ten categories of barriers are identified: technology, infrastructure, economy, knowledge, policy, goals, organization, cooperation, politics, and societal factors. The categories can be divided into four different types, which are related to each other and to the overall system in various ways, based on how they impede the development toward sustainability. Future research could advance this theoretical knowledge by continuing to study urban freight system development processes and by adding insights from other contexts, stakeholders, and theoretical areas.
