Abstract
Urban freight transport is a major contributor to congestion, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in urban areas where last-mile delivery demand is rapidly increasing. In this context, crowd-shipping has emerged as a promising approach to complement conventional urban logistics by exploiting unused capacity in passenger mobility. This doctoral thesis investigates the potential of crowd-shipping as an innovative component of urban delivery systems, assessing its feasibility and its possible contribution to reducing operational costs and environmental impacts for urban delivery systems. The research develops an integrated methodological framework combining GPS-based reconstruction of delivery tours, marginal cost assessment of individual delivery segments, and the spatial matching between freight origin–destination pairs and census section-based commuting flows. On this basis, a probabilistic model is formulated to estimate the acceptance rate and penetration of crowd-shipping, by quantifying the likelihood that at least one commuter is willing to perform a freight delivery on a given O-D pair. Building on this probabilistic estimation, a combinatorial procedure is subsequently introduced to explore all feasible activation scenarios of delivery stops and to derive expected tour distances and associated economic and environmental indicators. The empirical application to the Campania Region shows that even moderate levels of crowd-shipping acceptance can generate measurable reductions in tour length, operating costs and CO₂ emissions, particularly when targeted at the most inefficient delivery segments. Overall, the findings confirm that crowd-shipping can act as an effective complementary strategy for improving the efficiency and sustainability of urban delivery systems, while highlighting the central role of behavioural acceptance in enabling real-world implementation.
