Resum
The continuous movement of package delivery vehicles in cities is one of the problems affecting urban traffic. These delivery vehicles have a very tight schedule to deliver a high number of packages and improve the experience of customers shopping online. In this paper, we propose a new strategy for collaborative truck routing. This new strategy uses complex network concepts and graphing algorithms to find an optimal route for packages to be delivered on time, reducing the distances that deliverers must travel in cities. To test the efficiency of this new strategy, simulations have been designed for the city of Salamanca (Spain). Those simulations have shown that there is a considerable improvement if delivery companies use the new strategy.
