Logistics Sprawl Impacts on E-commerce Travel Patterns |
摘要: |
E-commerce services and facilities have the benefits of bringing new employment opportunities to communities and meeting consumer needs, but they also attract heavy traffic, which results in congestion and negative environmental and economic repercussions. In this context, the current project offers a new lens for studying future e-commerce facility siting, considering (1) current and projected consumer demands that will drive facility siting from the perspective of e-commerce companies. It also considers (2) the industry and workplace standards and the tax and zoning policies of governing bodies (including Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT's) own land-use regulation and standards) that can affect, and be proactively employed to influence, facility siting from the perspective of TxDOT. This project will provide a predictive mechanism that is not simply reactive to e-commerce companies’ facility siting preferences but that can be proactively leveraged by TxDOT, who can use land-use regulations and standards to influence the siting of e-commerce facilities in ways that bring home the positives of e-commerce to Texans while tempering negative repercussions for the transportation network. |
