Abstract: Recently, the use of more sustainable forms of transportation such as electric vehicles (EVs) for delivering goods and parcels to customers in urban areas has received more attention from urban planners and private stakeholders. The urban freight transportation sector is examining such a shift toward using electric vehicles, besides current combustion engine vehicles, to deliver goods and services to customers. To contribute toward sustainable transportation in urban logistics, we consider the important factor of decision replacement management and study how to shift toward sustainable modes of transportation, specifically EVs, in an urban area. We will present various optimization frameworks for different vehicle replacement decision problems that can be used by the operators (private and public stakeholders) for a combination of various types of vehicles in their fleet in order to achieve an optimal fleet structure.

NOVA Math‘s focus is on cutting edge research, in both pure and applied mathematics, valuing the use of mathematics in the solution of real-world problems at the industrial level and of social relevance.
One of the main strategies developed by NOVA Math is to promote the exchange of knowledge with other sciences. It is important to engage with the users of mathematics, given them the support for their research on one hand, and on another hand, to direct mathematical researchers that seek real-life problems.
