About

Elin Alverhed is a leading researcher at the intersection of logistics, automation, and sustainable urban transport, with a primary focus on autonomous last-mile delivery systems. Her most influential work, the 2024 literature review "Autonomous last-mile delivery robots: a literature review," has already garnered over 105 citations, establishing her as a key voice in the rapidly evolving field of autonomous delivery robots (ADRs). In this seminal paper, Alverhed systematically investigates how ADRs are reshaping last-mile logistics, adding value to the transport industry, and enabling competitive, technology-driven business models. Her research critically examines the operational, economic, and environmental impacts of these robots, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding their role in future urban supply chains. By synthesizing fragmented knowledge on a still-developing technology, Alverhed has provided essential guidance for both academics and industry practitioners navigating the shift toward automated, low-emission delivery solutions. Her work not only highlights the transformative potential of autonomous vehicles but also identifies key challenges in scalability, regulation, and public acceptance. As a rising scholar, Alverhed’s contributions are shaping the conversation on how cities can integrate smart, sustainable logistics into their infrastructure.
