Description of the research topic:

a) Background of research:
In case of the concentrated sets of delivery points there are relatively lots of urbane delivery points in a relatively small area. These concentrated sets are causing significant logistics load for the cities. Their processes can seriously damage the urban road infrastructure, they are also causing serious environmental and noise pollution, and their resource need is also significant. Both domestic and international research results clearly demonstrate, that by developing gateway-concept based multi-stage logistics systems, we can reduce the impact which is caused by the concentrated sets and we can make the logistics processes more efficient in many ways. However, in the optimal design of these systems, there are still many unanswered questions and planning problems. As a result of this, significant resources are allocated to the examination and development of this logistics field.

b) Goals of research:
The main goal of the research is to develop a generally applicable mathematical and simulation model which can help us to examine the performance and cost parameters of the current logistics system and the new, gateway-concept based solutions for any type of concentrated sets of delivery points, whether it is a market or a large shopping area. It is also a purpose to make it possible to select the appropriate system-architecture based on the results of the simulation.

c) Main tasks of research:

Developing new, gateway-concept based solutions for the supply system of concentrated sets of delivery points. Developing mathematical and simulation model of the current supply system and its cost structure of concentrated sets of delivery points. Developing mathematical and simulation model of the new, gateway-concept based supply system and its cost structure of concentrated sets of delivery points. Defining the logistics system architecture which is capable to be for the supply system of urban concentrated sets of delivery points based on the simulation results.
