[Does Locker Alliance Network Improve Last Mile Delivery Efficiency?](https://bm.hkust.edu.hk/bizinsight/2026/01/does-locker-alliance-network-improve-last-mile-delivery-efficiency)
The Locker Alliance Network (LAN), a cutting-edge initiative under Singapore's Smart Nation vision, aims to revolutionize parcel pickup processes. This government-led project seeks to implement two major changes in Singapore’s urban logistics: (i) establishing an open-access facility for all Logistic Service Providers (LSPs), and (ii) enhancing the last mile

[Optimizing Passenger–Driver Matching in Ride-Sharing Markets](https://bm.hkust.edu.hk/bizinsight/2026/01/optimizing-passenger-driver-matching-ride-sharing-markets)
Uber and other ride-sourcing companies rely on multiple types of data to optimize service delivery, and they often use Internet-based platforms to match passengers and drivers through smartphone data. However, this type of supply–demand matching remains challenging due to the need to balance speed, revenue, and quality. HKUST’s Guodong Lyu and colleagues aim

Using lockers for parcel delivery can significantly reduce congestion in city centers. This is among the major findings of research by HKUST’s Guodong Lyu and a colleague, focusing on a “smart nation” initiative recently proposed for implementation in Singapore. The researchers developed an innovative analytical method of determining the optimal network

In an important new study, HKUST’s Guodong Lyu and colleagues show how to optimize resource allocation under stochastic demand. Improving on previous frameworks, they demonstrate that the analysis of three different classes of allocation policy can be unified from the customer perspective, through the concept of the service level. This gives rise to a

[Targeting](https://bm.hkust.edu.hk/bizinsight/tag/targeting)
Cash transfer programs (CTPs) have spread in the last decade to help fight extreme poverty in different parts of the world. However, these programs face challenges related to both exclusion errors, where households below the poverty line do not receive the intended support, and inclusion errors, where cash reaches households that do not require assistance.
