Publication Open Access Topology effects in drone parcel delivery(Cal-Tek srl, 2024) Izco Berastegui, Irene; Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, PJUPNA26-2022Despite the positive sustainability prospects of drones, their flight range is compromised due to their limited battery capacity and the payload of delivered parcels. An alternative to address this challenge is the placement of charging stations where drone batteries are recharged to expand their flying range. The aim of this work is determining the number and location of drone charging stations for topology-dependent scenarios: rural areas and densely populated urban areas. To the best of the researchers' knowledge, there is currently no existing study in the literature that specifically investigates the impacts of topology on drone-assisted delivery. This study focuses on designing drone assignment strategies through optimization-simulation, aiming at minimizing charging station installation costs and operational costs and as a novelty, drone battery consumption is considered in the model design. Drone delivery order instances with different sizes and spatial distributions are generated to simulate realistic scenarios of demand and evaluate the optimization model to allocate the customer demands to stations and dimensioning drones fleet. Results show that considering parcel weight and flight distance has a significant impact on the performance of drone allocation to stations and highlight the effects of topology in the implementation of a drone-assisted delivery network.Publication Open Access Using modelling techniques to analyze urban freight distribution. A case study in Pamplona (Spain)(Elsevier, 2018) Alvarez Indave, Pablo; Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Juan Pérez, Ángel Alejandro; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCThe city of Pamplona, in Spain, is currently experiencing several changes regarding sustainable mobility such as pedestrianization of some streets in the city center, and access control to the Old Town for motor vehicles through the use of automatic number-plate recognition. However, some groups including local neighbors and businesses are raising complaints as they are being affected by these measures. This is also the case for couriers and logistics companies which have now to comply with new regulations regarding delivery routes throughout the Old Town. This paper will present a comprehensive study of the situation that is being carried out, and in which social perceptions and freight traffic patterns in the Old Town of Pamplona are analyzed to understand how urban freight distribution could be improved in the area. For this purpose, we make use of a survey-based research to the stakeholders, i.e. pedestrians, logistics companies, retailers, and authorities of Pamplona. Results highlight pollution derived from transportation, lack of parking spaces as well as invasion of public spaces in the city center as the key issues for improving freight transportation in the Old Town. Finally, placing a distribution center in the Old Town and the promotion of the cycle-logistics are considered as the future of the urban distribution in Pamplona.Publication Open Access Internacionalización de los costes medioambientales del transporte por carretera transpirenaico(2014) Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Hualde Bilbao, Javier; Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales; Ekonomia eta Enpresa Zientzien FakultateaLa finalidad principal de este estudio es analizar el problema de la contaminación atmosférica y el ruido en los dos pasos transpirenaicos más importantes de España. En Irún (País Vasco) y La Junquera (Cataluña) se produce un efecto embudo por el que trasiegan constantemente vehículos, muchos de ellos camiones (Observatorio hispano-francés de Tráfico en los Pirineos, 2013). Por tanto los vecinos de las rutas habituales de este tráfico sufren los efectos derivados del tránsito continuo de vehículos por las vías que se encuentran junto a sus casas. Es posible valorar económicamente estas externalidades de muchas formas diferentes, en este trabajo se propone el uso de encuestas de valoración contingente (Mitchell and Carson, 1989).. Además, otros objetivos secundarios serán cómo afectan otros factores en esa disposición a pagar y analizar cuáles serán los más relevantes y en los que se puede hacer hincapié. Por ello la encuesta presenta más preguntas que nos da información de variables socioeconómicas, ecológicas, demográficas, etc. de los encuestados. Por tanto, este TFM se centra en la extracción de información de los resultados de las encuestas realizadas mediante modelos probit y tobit para tener estimaciones de costes medioambientales (polución y ruido) del transporte por carretera transpirenaicoPublication Open Access The impact of integrating open data in smart last-mile logistics: the example of Pamplona open data catalog(MDPI, 2025-01-08) Al-Rahamneh, Anas; Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCLast-mile logistics is one of the most complicated operations in the whole logistic process. This concept describes the final leg of a product travel from a warehouse or hub to specific customers. One of the last-mile logistics challenges that courier delivery companies face is route planning. Ineffective route planning can cause operational delays that cascade and affect several last-mile deliveries. Thus, numerous factors need to be considered to plan and optimize effective delivery routes. These involve many extraordinary and unpredictable events, including weather, traffic conditions, and traffic regulations. A lack of accessible data hinders dynamic, efficient, and reliable route planning, leading to these factors being overlooked. In this paper, we propose the use of open data (OD) to overcome these limitations. OD are information available for anyone to access, reuse, and distribute for free with minimal attribution and sharing restrictions. Therefore, the aim of this work is to examine the impact of incorporating specific open data elements on the performance of the Clarke and Wright algorithm, particularly in calculating savings, and identifying optimal routes. The results we obtained showed the effect of considering OD with an increase rate of approximately 2% on the total distance compared to not considering them.Publication Open Access Selecting freight transportation modes in last-mile urban distribution in Pamplona (Spain): an option for drone delivery in smart cities(MDPI, 2021) Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Ballano Biurrun, Aitor; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Economía; EkonomiaUrban distribution in medium-sized cities faces a major challenge, mainly when deliveries are difficult in the city center due to: an increase of e-commerce, weak public transportation system, and the promotion of urban sustainability plans. As a result, private cars, public transportation, and freight transportation compete for the same space. This paper analyses the current state for freight logistics in the city center of Pamplona (Spain) and proposes alternative transportation routes and transportation modes in the last-mile city center distribution according to different criteria evaluated by residents. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was developed. A number of alternatives have been assessed considering routes and transportation modes: the shortest route criterion and avoiding some city center area policies are combined with traditional van-based, bike, and aerial (drone) distribution protocols for delivering parcels and bar/restaurant supplies. These alternatives have been evaluated within a multicriteria framework in which economic, environmental, and social objectives are considered at the same time. The point in this multicriteria framework is that the criteria/alternative AHP weights and priorities have been set according to a survey deployed in the city of Pamplona (Navarre, Spain). The survey and AHP results show the preference for the use of drone or bike distribution in city center in order to reduce social and environmental issues.Publication Open Access Exploring crowdshippers' behavior and preferences: intertwining urban distribution and people mobility(Elsevier, 2025-05-14) García Herrera, Alisson Maurinne; Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaCollaborative economy companies in the transport field have been a disruptive force in the urban mobility landscape around the world during the last decade 2010-2020. Crowdshipping has emerged as a collaborative economy option promoting improved utilization of currently underutilized transportation capacity, thereby reducing transportation costs and emissions. This article aims to analyze and synthesize existing research on the impact of the crowdshipper (individuals responsible for collecting and delivering the product) behavior on the system and the factors that drive his or her willingness to participate, to identify best practices and opportunities to enhance business analytics, decision-making, and model efficiency in this emerging area.Publication Open Access A strategic multistage tactical two-stage stochastic optimization model for the airline fleet management problem(Elsevier, 2020) Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Cadarso, Luis; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCThis work proposes stochastic optimization for the airline fleet management problem, considering uncertainty in the demand, operational costs, and fares. In particular, a multistage tree is proposed, compounded of strategic and tactical nodes. At the former ones, fleet composition decisions are made, while at the latter ones, aircraft assignment decisions are formulated. Computational experiments are based on a small air network with seven strategic nodes and fourteen tactical nodes (i.e., seasons) where two fleet types are available to be included: Airbus 320, and Boeing 737. These results provide the optimal fleet planning and assignment at both strategic and tactical scopes. Finally, it is shown the superior performance of the stochastic version of this problem against the deterministic one.Publication Open Access Optimizing energy consumption in transportation: literature review, insights, and research opportunities(MDPI, 2020) Corlu, Canan Gunes; Torre Martínez, Rocío de la; Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Juan Pérez, Ángel Alejandro; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCFrom airplanes to electric vehicles and trains, modern transportation systems require large quantities of energy. These vast amounts of energy have to be produced somewhere—ideally by using sustainable sources—and then brought to the transportation system. Energy is a scarce and costly resource, which cannot always be produced from renewable sources. Therefore, it is critical to consume energy as efficiently as possible, that is, transportation activities need to be carried out with an optimal intake of energetic means. This paper reviews existing work on the optimization of energy consumption in the area of transportation, including road freight, passenger rail, maritime, and air transportation modes. The paper also analyzes how optimization methods—of both exact and approximate nature—have been used to deal with these energy-optimization problems. Finally, it provides insights and discusses open research opportunities regarding the use of new intelligent algorithms—combining metaheuristics with simulation and machine learning—to improve the efficiency of energy consumption in transportation.Publication Open Access Decision making with horizontal cooperation and environmental criteria for transportation: optimization and simulation models for the vehicle routing problem and the facility location problem(2018) Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta MatematikaTransportation is a major contributor to the development of the world economy and, at the same time, a major contributor to air pollution and global warming. Additionally, the unstoppable increase of competition as consequence of the globalization, as well as the increasingly service quality demanded by customers related to shorter times and lower costs, are forcing logistics companies to consider new managerial strategies. In this sense, horizontal cooperation among logistic companies is seen as a real alternative for gaining efficiency and sustainability. These agreements can be summarized as any arrangement between partners, tacit or not, which involves more than one company without vertical relationship between them, i.e., no supplier-customer relationship, based on trust and mutual commitment to identify and exploit win-win situations with the goal of sharing benefits (or risks) that would be higher (or lower) than each company would obtain if they acted completely independently. Therefore, in the first part of this thesis, several simulation models have been developed to track the evolution of a coalition in order to quantify horizontal cooperation impact in both economic and environmental sides considering the existence of trust-related issues. Additionally, as a great source of cooperation, a real application consisted on the location of a biorefinery is presented, developed, and discussed. On the other hand, environmental impacts of transportation should be measured and assessed for their integration in the existing optimization models. Thus, the second part of this thesis is devoted to the pricing through a contingent valuation survey of environmental impacts (externalities) and their internalization in the well-known Vehicle Routing Problem. In this sense, several optimization models are developed to assess the impact of the internalization of externalities on the routing decisions of logistics operations.Publication Open Access Valuations of transport nuisances and cognitive biases: a survey laboratory experiment in the Pyrenees region(Springer, 2021) Denant-Boemont, Laurent; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Hammiche, Sabrina; Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Estadística, Informática y MatemáticasWe designed a survey that aims at estimating individual willingness-to-pay to reduce noise and air pollution arising from transportation activity near the Pyrenees in Navarre (Spain). Our participants cope with a series of contingent valuation questions and also with an economic experiment with real incentives about the same topic. Our goal is to identify several methodological problems in the valuation process coming from hypothetical bias, correlation effect and sequence effect when series of responses are requested. Our main results are that hypothetical bias is significant, because the willingness-to-pay is greater when the survey is hypothetical compared to when there is real monetary incentive. Likewise, the correlation effect also observes the same behavior since the willingness-to-pay for pollution mitigation is close to the one established for noise reduction. Finally, we have obtained mixed evidence for the sequence effect, being present only in the contingent valuation survey part.
