Urban e-Grocery Distribution Design in Pamplona (Spain) Applying an Agent-Based Simulation Model with Horizontal Cooperation Scenarios.
A. Serrano Hernandez, A. Ballano, L. Cadarso, J. Faulin
E-commerce has boosted in the last decades because of the achievements of the ICT along with the changes in the society life-style. More recently, the groceries online purchase (or e-grocery), has also prevailed as a way of making the shopping. Thus, we assessed the impact of the cooperation-based policies on distribution costs and times among different supermarkets in Pamplona, Spain. Concerning methodology, first, we carried out a survey in Pamplona for modelling the e-grocery demand patterns. Second, we developed an agent-based simulation model for generating scenarios in non-cooperative, limited, and full cooperation settings, considering the real data obtained from the survey analysis. At this manner, Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) and Multi Depot VRPs (MDVRP) are dynamically generated and solved within the simulation framework using a biased-randomization algorithm. Finally, the results show significant reductions in distances and times when using horizontal cooperation.
Keywords: agent-based simulation, horizontal cooperation, e-groceries, optimization.
