Abstract This paper examines the integration of freight delivery into the passenger transport of an on-demand ride-pooling service. The goal of this research is to use existing passenger trips for logistics services and thus reduce additional vehicle kilometers for freight delivery and the total number of vehicles on the road network. This is achieved by merging the need for two separate fleets into a single one by combining the services. This research provides an extensive literature review and discusses policy measures supporting such a service. To evaluate the potential of such a mobility-on-demand service, this paper uses an agent-based simulation framework and integrates three heuristic parcel assignment strategies into a ride-pooling fleet control algorithm. Two integration scenarios (moderate and full) are set up. While in both scenarios passengers and parcels share rides in one vehicle, in the moderate scenario no stops for parcel pick-up and delivery are allowed during a passenger ride to decrease customer inconvenience. Using real-world demand data for a case study of Munich, Germany, the two integration scenarios together with the three assignment strategies are compared to the status quo, which uses two separate vehicle fleets for passenger and logistics transport. The results indicate that the integration of logistics services into a ride-pooling service is possible and can exploit unused system capacities without deteriorating passenger transportation. Depending on the assignment strategies nearly all parcels can be served until a parcel to passenger demand ratio of 1:10 while the overall fleet kilometers can be decreased compared to the status quo.
