Contribute to our special issue on Urban Logistics Innovations in the Sharing Economy
How will the sharing economy impact the organisation of shared urban logistics and transport?
Could your research help create better models for urban logistics and help society explore alternative concepts of personal transport?
In this special Issue, we will provide a platform for exchanging knowledge on emerging methods, practical implementation, and lessons learned regarding both urban freight logistics and the mobility of people in the sharing economy, and you can join the conversation.
Fuelled by digital technology and the Internet, the sharing economy (also referred to as collaborative consumption) is a developing phenomenon based on renting or borrowing goods and services, rather than owning them (Chan & Shaheen, 2012). The emerging sharing economy is particularly relevant in the context of cities that struggle with population growth and increasing density. Undoubtedly, some shared urban logistics and transportation service models may have disruptive impacts, and likely change the way in which people and goods are moved within a city (Savelsbergh & Woense, 2016). Urban logistics infrastructures and transportation systems in many cities already operate at maximum or near-maximum capacity, so it is important to consider novel approaches to organising shared urban logistics and transport.
In this special issue, we call attention to the movement of both freight and people. Shared mobility, the shared use of motor vehicles, bicycles, or other transportation modes, is one facet of the sharing economy, often accompanied by new organisational concepts, such as mobility-as-a-service (MAAS). Shared mobility could potentially improve urban sustainability by decreasing total vehicle-miles and congestion, saving energy, and reducing greenhouse gases, but these advantages may be diminished by rebound effects. This sharing is also applied to urban freight logistics, which involves the movement of freight within cities. Shared freight logistics enables companies to share existing assets and capacities, resulting in increased consolidation, higher capacity utilisation, and decreased fleet sizes for collaborating partners (Matzler, Veider, and Kathan, 2015; Seo et al., 2016).
The emerging concept of the sharing economy continues to motivate researchers and practitioners to develop better models for urban logistics and explore alternative concepts of personal transport. From the academic point of view, research on sharing logistics and transportation has predominantly relied on normative quantitative research methods; especially optimization studies (see Savelsbergh & Woense, 2016 for a review), and conceptual papers are also common (Henten & Windekilde, 2016). However, empirical studies concerning urban logistics in sharing economy remain scarce.

共享经济将如何影响共享城市物流和运输的组织？
您的研究能否帮助创建更好的城市物流模型，并帮助社会探索个人交通的替代概念？
在这个专题中，我们将提供一个能够交流有关城市货运物流和共享经济中人员流动的新兴方法，实践实施和经验知识的平台，您可以参与交流。
在数字技术和互联网的推动下，共享经济（也称为协作消费）是一种正在发展的现象，它以租赁或借贷商品和服务，而不是拥有它们为基础（Chan & Shaheen, 2012）。在城市人口和密度不断增长的背景下，崛起的共享经济尤为重要。毫无疑问，一些共享的城市物流和运输服务模式可能会产生破坏性影响，并可能改变人们或货物在城市中移动的方式（Savelsbergh & Woense, 2016）。许多城市的城市物流基础设施和交通系统已经处于最大或接近最大容量的状态，因此考虑共享的城市物流和运输的新方法十分重要。
在这个专刊，我们同时关注于货物和人员的移动。共享移动，例如共享的机动车辆，自行车或其他交通工具的共享使用，是共享经济的一个方面。它通常伴随着新的组织概念，如移动即服务（MAAS）。共享移动通过减少移动总里程和交通堵塞，节约能源并减少温室气体，从而提高城市的可持续性，但这些优势可能会因为反弹效应而减弱。这种分享也适用于城市货运物流，涉及城市内的货运流动。 共享货运物流使公司能够共享现有资产和能力，从而增加稳定性，提高容量利用率，并减少合作伙伴的车队规模（Matzler, Veider, and Kathan, 2015; Seo et al., 2016）。
共享经济的新概念继续激励研究人员和从业人员为城市物流建立更好的模式，探索个人运输的其他概念。从学术角度，共享物流和运输的研究主要依靠规范的定量研究方法；尤其是优化研究（见Savelsbergh & woense，2016的综述），以及概念性的论文（henten & windekilde，2016）。然而，关于城市物流在共享经济中的实证研究仍然很少。
