Abstract: This paper investigates the impacts of introducing autonomous vehicles (AVs) into an on-demand meal delivery system at a strategic level. The proposed model consists of (i) a microscopic physical model describing the delivery process for bundled orders and (ii) a macroscopic network equilibrium model characterizing the interactions among customers,...
