United States-European Commission Urban Freight Twinning Initiative: Compendium of Project Summaries
|
Research | Other International |
This project will evaluate the economic and environmental (i.e., air emissions) impacts of off-hour deliveries using a continuous approximation model. Parameters come from primary data of GPS traces from two large retail chains (grocery, pharmacy) and a food/beverage manufacturer. Cost data come from actual market values. Using sensitivity analysis, the researchers will explore different distances from distribution centers to delivery regions inside the metropolitan area, delivery densities, and drop sizes. Preliminary results were presented at the Volvo Research and Educational Foundation's 2016 Conference on Urban Freight. This project was partially funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology.
