讲座嘉宾 简介
Professor Jakob Puchinger is a Professor of Supply Chain Management and Logistics at EM Normandie Business School and an affiliated professor at CentraleSupélec, Université Paris-Saclay. He co-leads the Future Cities Lab, focusing on sustainable urban mobility and logistics innovation. Holding a Ph.D. from TU Wien, Professor Puchinger’s research explores hybrid optimization methods, urban logistics, and transportation systems design. Before joining EM Normandie, he led the Dynamic Transportation Systems Department at the Austrian Institute of Technology and held the Anthropolis Chair at IRT SystemX. He has published extensively in operations research and transportation journals, advancing the understanding of algorithmic and policy innovations in logistics and mobility systems.
讲座概要
This lecture reviews algorithmic and systems-level approaches to make urban freight and passenger mobility more sustainable, combining mathematical modelling with practical policy and implementation insights. I will present frameworks for optimizing last-mile delivery that integrate electric vehicles, truck-borne robots and small autonomous vehicles in two-echelon systems, showing how routing and scheduling models can reduce emissions and congestion while preserving service quality. Building on digital-twin and adaptive modelling ideas, we will examine how simulation-driven optimization can support city planners and operators to evaluate low-emission logistics solutions and local policy interventions. Finally, the talk situates these technical methods within a broader “avoid-shift-improve” perspective for the transition to sustainable mobility, identifying open research challenges at the intersection of optimization, electrification, automation, and human-centred urban design.
