Abstract
This research studies the integration of vehicle routing with public transportation systems, various delivery options, and parcel locker facilities. The main objective is to develop a routing plan that reduces overall costs, factoring in both travel expenses and compensation for customers using self-pickup services. A mixed-integer linear programming is developed and solved using the CPLEX optimization solver. To efficiently handle larger problem instances, an adaptive large neighborhood search algorithm is proposed. The performance of this algorithm is assessed through numerical experiments. In addition, the study offers managerial insights into the use of public transportation for improved logistics decision-making. It concludes by summarizing key outcomes and suggesting areas for future exploration.
