| Abstract | Logistics and transportation are two very aspects in smart city development. This talk is in 2 parts. First, I will discuss the challenges of urban logistics, more specifically in the context of last-mile delivery of freight into mega-cities like Singapore. I will present several case studies in Europe and Asia on the operation of Urban Consolidation Centers (UCCs) which enable collaboration among shippers, carriers, and retailers to consolidate deliveries. I will then discuss my research on market mechanisms and system that provide the necessary technology and incentives for multiple stakeholders to derive win-win benefits from operating within UCCs. In the second part, I will discuss last-mile delivery of passengers from a transport hub (such as a major train/bus station) to their homes. Improving last-mile public transportation is a major challenge in congested cities, and for this, I will discuss my research on mechanisms for taxi ridesharing, which is a viable option for cities like Hanoi, Singapore and many Asian cities where taxis are free-roaming agents. More specifically, I will present 2-level planning framework for making real-time clustering and routing decisions. The first upper/strategic level selects, from the set of current requests, the ones to be scheduled in a given period, which can be modelled and solved as Markov decision process (MDP). The second lower/operational level clusters and then routes the selected requests using a standard vehicle routing heuristic. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
