Abstract: Increases in last-mile transport contribute to congestion and pollution in urban environments. To make deliveries more sustainable, they may be integrated with existing public transport infrastructure, e.g., metros or trams. This integration can rely on alternative operational modes: shared infrastructure lets passenger and cargo vehicles share the same rail network, whereas shared vehicles simultaneously transport cargo and passengers.
