Provably Good Region Partitioning for On-Time Last-Mile Delivery

Managing on-time delivery systems is challenging because of the underlying uncertainties and combinatorial nature of the routing decision. In practice, the efficiency of such systems also hinges on the driver’s familiarity with the local neighborhood. In “Provably Good Region Partitioning for On-Time Last-Mile Delivery,” Carlsson et al. study a region partitioning policy to minimize the expected delivery time of customer orders in a stochastic …
