For this reason, this paper discusses the question of what autonomous shipment may cost in urban logistics. Using activity-based costing, the distinction between shipment with conventional trucks and autonomous transport robots is analysed. The calculation shows that the omission of the driver does not necessarily lead to a reduction of process costs. Only by also reducing technology costs, autonomous transport in urban logistics can gain economic benefits.en2352-146520248491https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/activity-based costingAutonomous drivinglast mile logisticsSocial Sciences::380: Commerce, Communications, TransportConference Paper10.15480/882.1320710.1016/j.trpro.2024.03.01310.15480/882.13207Conference Paper
