The concept of Hyperconnected City Logistics (HCL) suggests an open and
shared system associate with multi-modes transportation to meet the
challenges of City Logistics (CL). A new application of Parcel lockers
is suggested in this paper which is to be used as transhipment hubs
besides the current popular utilization as ship/reception lockers.
Transhipment could be easily processed through parcel lockers rather
than building new specific transfer hubs which are cost consumption and
normally away from demand nodes. We formulate the model from the
perspective of Pick-up and Delivery Problem with Transhipment and
Time-Window (PDPTTW) and propose Combine Saving heuristic for solving
the PDPTTW. The heuristics has been evaluated by a set of examples and
show a good performance.
