Abstract

Electric trucks (ETs) face operational challenges due to limited range, sparse charging infrastructure, and temperature-sensitive energy consumption. To assess these vulnerabilities, we formulate a Pickup and Delivery Mixed-Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem (PDMFVRP) that incorporates constraints for both ETs and diesel trucks (DTs), including partial charging and temperature-dependent energy use. An Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS) algorithm solves the model on Walmart’s Illinois store network. The electric-to-diesel truck (ET-to-DT) replacement ratio ranges between 1.1 to 1.7 under different temperature conditions, with up to 77% increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Enhancing battery capacity, charging rate, and station density can reduce ET fleet size and VMT by up to 10%–30% and 9%–58%, respectively. This study contributes a mixed-fleet routing formulation, an efficient solution approach for large-scale applications, a metric to quantify electrification impacts, and a resilience-focused scenario analysis to inform infrastructure planning, fleet composition, and policy strategies for sustainable logistics.

迈向弹性物流电气化：在可变温度下评估柴油到电动车队的过渡

由于行驶里程有限、充电基础设施稀疏以及对温度敏感的能源消耗，电动卡车（ETs）面临着运营挑战。为了评估这些漏洞，我们制定了一个接送混合车队车辆路径问题（PDMFVRP），该问题结合了对ETs和柴油卡车（dt）的限制，包括部分充电和温度相关的能源使用。一种自适应大邻域搜索（ALNS）算法在沃尔玛伊利诺伊州门店网络中求解该模型。在不同的温度条件下，电动-柴油卡车（et - dt）的替代比率在1.1到1.7之间，车辆行驶里程（VMT）最多可增加77%。提高电池容量、充电率和充电站密度可以分别将电动汽车车队规模和行驶里程减少10%-30%和9%-58%。本研究提供了混合车队路线规划、大规模应用的有效解决方案、量化电气化影响的指标，以及以弹性为重点的情景分析，为基础设施规划、车队组成和可持续物流政策策略提供信息。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
