Research grant in "Optimization Models for Transportation with 
Crowdsourcing"

INESC TEC is accepting applications to award one Postdoctoral Grant in 
project "LASTMILE - Rethinking last-mile delivery through crowdsourcing".

Project overview:
This project deals with inviting in-store customers for delivering 
parcels, ordered by on-line customers, on their way home.  The remaining 
parcels must be delivered by the company's fleet of professional 
drivers, whose route is optimized as a vehicle routing problem.  This 
allows reducing environmental impacts and urban congestion. The project 
concerns the development of models and tools for solving this problem, 
which turns out to be a very challenging stochastic combinatorial 
optimization problem.

Reference Monthly Value (gross): €2.128,34
Application Period: from 2019-02-21 to 2019-04-15
