Minimizing urban logistics cost using crowd-shipping

Over the years, many researchers have extended VRP, with the aim of shortening total mileage, reduce costs and optimize vehicle capacity. This study aims to determine the method of a crowd-shipping that can reduce shipping costs. The proposed model is an extension of the classical VRP method. In its application this model involves ordinary people for the delivery process. The CSVRP model is divided into two. The first model changes in fixed price and the other models with changes in variable price. This model is tested using data from one of the logistics companies in Bandung, Indonesia. Both models show quite good results, where shipping costs for CSVRP with Fixed Price can be reduced by 33% also CSVRP with Variable Price can be reduced by 39% . In addition, the calculation of carbon dioxide emissions is also a consideration for both models. The output produced from the two models is also quite good, because at least 46% of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced. Overall, this research has the potential both in economic scope and also in environmental sustainability.
