This paper examines the integration of freight delivery into the passengertransport of an on-demand ride-pooling service. The goal of this research is touse existing passenger trips for logistics services and thus reduce additionalvehicle kilometers for freight delivery and the total number of vehicles on theroad network. This is achieved by merging the need for two separate fleets intoa single one by combining the services. To evaluate the potential of such amobility-on-demand service, this paper uses an agent-based simulation frameworkand integrates three heuristic parcel assignment strategies into a ride-poolingfleet control algorithm. Two integration scenarios (moderate and full) are setup. 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 allowedduring a passenger ride to decrease customer inconvenience. Using real-worlddemand data for a case study of Munich, Germany, the two integration scenariostogether 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 aride-pooling service is possible and can exploit unused system capacitieswithout deteriorating passenger transport. Depending on the assignmentstrategies nearly all parcels can be served until a parcel to passenger demandratio of 1:10 while the overall fleet kilometers can be deceased compared tothe status quo.
