| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the potential of adopting cargo bikes into last-mile delivery models within Riyadh by comparing their efficiency with that of traditional Suzuki Dzire vehicles in low-density (LD) and high-density (HD) traffic conditions. Based on an Excel spreadsheet with a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) model run using the Evolver genetic algorithm add-in, the study optimised the delivery routes of 60 customer locations and a centralised distribution depot. Four scenarios were considered: Suzuki LD, Suzuki HD, CargoBike LD, and CargoBike HD. | |
