Due to recent technological advancements, more diversified customer demand, and increasingly harder competition, traditional postal service systems have experienced significant changes all over the world. In Norway, through a strategic reform called post-in-shop, undertaken in 2013, most postal services are now provided at postal service counters located in retailer stores in order to improve accessibility, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This has led to a complex decision-making problem for the redesign of urban postal service networks across the country. In this paper, a two-

Abstract:
Universal service providers have an obligation to provide a minimum required set of postal services – known as universal service obligation. To ensure universal service obligation, regulatory measures (criteria) which service providers must fulfil are often set up. In this paper, a geographical analysis of these criteria is conducted using current regulatory framework in the Republic of Croatia as an example. Based on the framework of the gravity model, accessibility of postal service is presented. The goal of the proposed research is to investigate the application of the gravity model for det

The goal of this thesis is to be able to predict customer traffic at postal service points. The expectation is that when customers are made aware of queue times at the service points, they will redistribute themselves to avoid standing in line. This boils down to a form of time series prediction problem. When working with time series prediction, there are potentially other factors that may help the models make a more accurate prediction. Factors that may affect people’s behavior are unlimited, but this thesis examines the effect of the external calendar variables (weekday, date and public holi

Failure to attend healthcare appointments impacts on patient health and health system costs. Sending patients appointment reminders using mobile phone text messages (Short Message Service (SMS) and Multimedia Message Service (MMS)) could improve attendance compared to no reminders, or other types of reminders, such as postal or phone call reminders. The broad penetration of mobile phones in several low-income countries makes this intervention particularly promising.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of drop unit substitution in address-based samples for mail and web surveys. A drop point is a single US Postal Service (USPS) delivery point or receptacle that services multiple businesses, families, or households (USPS, 2017). Residential drop units are the individual housing units served by the drop point address. For the most part, address-based sampling frames list the number of units at a drop point address but will not contain information identifying specific units. Drop units comprise less than 2 percent of all residential addresses
