Abstract

City logistics service providers are expected to offer high quality, reasonably priced delivery services in the environment of congested urban areas. The role of city logistics service providers has become more and more important in recent years, since just-in-time concepts have found their way into complex supply chains. This is reflected by challenging restrictions for delivery in terms of tight delivery time windows. Furthermore, city logistics service providers are often the only physical and legal activity perceived by the customer, leading to increasing importance of reliability and service quality of delivery. Online retail, for example, makes consumers believe that goods are available at all times in almost no time at almost any costs, but delivery concepts are actually very demanding.
