Developing a Stochastic Two-Tier Architecture for Modelling Last-Mile Delivery and Implementing in Discrete-Event Simulation

Modelling freight logistics is challenging due to the variable consignments and diverse customers. Discrete-event Simulation (DES) is an approach that can model freight logistics and incorporate stochastic events. However, the flexible delivery routes of Pickup and Delivery (PUD) are still problemat...
