Distribution mode of small items using passenger-transport expressway networks

Abstract

Enlightened by the fact that certain passenger buses could deliver small items by imposing some fees for clients, and there exists possible integration of the passenger-transport expressway networks and logistics, we aim to study how to transfer the delivery of simple and small items to logistics distribution of special items by using expressways if we take time-efficient special items as the research object. Choosing automobile passenger stations, expressway service areas and toll-gates as joints, and relying on the luggage compartments of passenger vehicles, this paper analyzes and studies the route choice of the distribution of small items by using expressway networks, and presents new modes and methods to the distributions of time-efficient small items.
