About

Evy Rombaut is an emerging researcher specializing in autonomous delivery systems, last-mile logistics, and urban mobility. Her work sits at the critical intersection of technological innovation and sustainable urban transportation, addressing pressing challenges such as traffic congestion, emission reduction, and the growing demands of e-commerce delivery networks. Rombaut's most influential contribution, a 2023 literature review on autonomous delivery solutions for last-mile logistics (100 citations), has quickly established itself as a foundational reference in the field, synthesizing the state of the art and charting a clear research agenda for scholars and practitioners alike. Complementing this, her 2021 systematic review of agent-based models for autonomous vehicles (92 citations) demonstrates her methodological breadth, advocating for integrated simulation frameworks that better capture the complexity of urban logistics environments. Her more recent work applying a modified UTAUT framework to autonomous delivery robots reflects a growing interest in user and stakeholder acceptance — a crucial dimension often overlooked in technically focused research. Together, Rombaut's publications have accumulated nearly 200 citations in a relatively short period, signaling her rapid rise as a valuable voice in shaping how cities and logistics service providers will navigate the autonomous mobility transition.
