Autonomous parcel transfers between outlets and delivery stations
J&T's Nanjing outlet reported about 30% higher delivery efficiency with autonomous parcel transfers
Problem
Couriers repeatedly drove between an outlet and campus or community delivery stations, reducing time available for final delivery.
Approach
The Nanjing outlet began trial operations in November 2023. Vehicles used lidar and cameras for L4 autonomous driving, while staff loaded and unloaded parcels. Remote safety staff could take control when problems arose.
Results
Takeaway
The vehicles handled transfers between fixed stations. Staff continued to handle parcels at each end and monitor vehicle safety.
