Nowadays\u00a0<strong>logistics models and analyzes economic systems<\/strong>\u00a0in time and space as the flow of matter (goods, information, money and people) through different networks. Its purpose is to use\u00a0<strong>known and recognized scientific methods to offer solutions<\/strong>\u00a0that give us the form and method of implementation of such networks. The scientific questions answered by logistics mainly relate to the\u00a0<strong>configuration and organization of such networks<\/strong>\u00a0and to the release and control of material flows through the network.\u00a0<strong>Its main goal is to achieve a balance between economic, ecological and social goals.<\/strong><\/span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>In the Laboratory for quantitative modelling in logistics<\/strong>, we see logistics exactly as it is written in the definition. We see economic systems in society as networks and the economic processes that take place in them as the flow of goods, information, people and money. Thus, economic systems are modelled by networks and processes by flow through these networks. Using various mathematical models, linear and nonlinear, deterministic or stochastic, we optimize networks, their structure and size, and release or stop the flow of material through them. When reality allows, we use mathematical programming methods, otherwise,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">we use various\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">simulation methods.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In our laboratory, in accordance with our definition of logistics, we scientifically undertake basic research, the main goal of which is to contribute to the global treasury of knowledge. We try to publish the findings of this research in renowned scientific journals. In this way, we try to spread our influence on the development of our science field worldwide.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>We also carry out applied research commissioned by the industry<\/strong>. This research is important from the point of view of the\u00a0<strong>transfer of new knowledge<\/strong>\u00a0from the research sphere to real life. In this way, we try to\u00a0<strong>help the industry to better and more efficiently organize logistics systems and optimize processes<\/strong>. At the same time, with new ideas, especially on ways to use modern\u00a0<strong>state-of-the-art technology<\/strong>, we are trying to create the conditions for creating new high-tech jobs. So we are trying, at least in some way,\u00a0<strong>to give back to the local environment their investment in our existence.<\/strong><\/span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Projects<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"section-heading\">MeAndYou Distribution<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The project\u00a0<\/span><strong>MeAndYou<\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>\u00a0Distribution<\/strong>\u00a0aims was to employ everyday urban mobility of individuals in the last mile distribution, that in some cases citizens will be able to deliver goods (using cars, bicycles, walking\u2026) from senders to receivers on their way and help reduce traffic and air pollution caused by delivery vehicles. Within the project was developed a new smartphone application that allows its users (senders, recipients, and deliverers) to participate in crowd delivery. The APP incorporates options for ride-sharing, additionally increasing environmental benefits of its use. Through the client application, senders and receivers can create delivery tasks (defining time, start &amp; final destination and the cargo). The platform then chooses a deliverer that has the closest match to the parameters of tasks. Green points, financed from the City fee, awarded to users for their eco-friendly behaviour, may be turned to, for example, concert or theatre tickets or free parking. This project was realized by higher education and business partners from two different RIS countries, and application testing was performed in a living lab RIS SEE city.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Within MAY-D project was developed a new APP that will allow its users (senders, recipients, and deliverers) to participate in \u201ccrowd\u201d (one-to-one) delivery.

The cost of a single delivery can be paid either by senders or recipients and consist of the delivery fee (paid to the deliverer), EIT support fee (paid to EIT as the supporter of the project), the consortium fee (distributed between members of the consortium, without the City) and the City fee.
