dc.description.abstract | Location planning for parcel lockers is a proposed method with great potential for saving
operation costs and minimizing traffic congestion arising from multiple shipments of orders in
urban areas. In this paper, we present a multi-criteria decision-making approach for planning the
location of parcel lockers distributed in urban areas under conditions of uncertainty. The
proposed method involves identifying potential wards in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City,
selecting evaluation criteria, using fuzzy logic to quantify criteria values under uncertainty, and
using the Fuzzy TOPSIS application to evaluate and select the best location to deploy parcel
lockers in urban areas. Sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the effect of criterion
weights on parcel lockers.
The strength of the proposed work is its ability to deal with uncertainty arising from the need for
more actual data in the location planning for parcel lockers. Logistics operators can practically
apply the proposed approach in deciding the exact location of parcel locker considering city
governments' proposed sustainable freight regulations. | en_US |
