NOVÝ PŘÍSTUP PRO POŠTOVNÍ SLUŽBY VYUŽIVAJÍCÍ METODY CITY LOGISTIKY

This paper focuses on the vehicle routing problems found in cities for goods distribution generally called as City Logistics which is a very discussed topic in recent years. Appropriate selection of the city logistics methods can help to remove the urban transport problems from the city with the constraints of space and with the need to clean the already damaged environment. That is currently, according to the research, one of the biggest problems for the big as well as for the small cities. The main aim for the area of City Logistics is to minimize the frequency of journeys of the supply vehicles in the cities, especially in the cities centers and by this minimization bring the environmental impact due to the added value of the service itself. Purpose of this paper is to explore the new city logistics problems and solutions and present some selected possibilities where the City Logistics services can be transferred to the postal services in the Czech Republic. One of the selected solutions is a consolidation of consignments at the spot of transshipment and then subsequently delivery of that consignment using a new approach. The paper itself can be divided into the three main parts. The first part focuses on the domestic as well as international research with an aim to bring a comprehensive overview of the City Logistics services. In the second part of this paper is an analysis of the current state of the City Logistics in the connection with the postal services. The new approach designed by the authors of this paper is in the third part.Článek se zabývá velice diskutovanou problematikou posledních let, a to City Logistikou, zejména pak problematikou last mile delivery.
