Investigation of E-Commerce Enabled Freight Demand and Activities in Residential Areas
项目名称: Investigation of E-Commerce Enabled Freight Demand and Activities in Residential Areas
摘要: Given the above motivation, this research aims to incorporate household freight trip attractions into the freight demand analysis framework and addressing the impacts of e-commerce on travel demand and the highway network. The specific objectives include: (1) Capture household level consumption and attractions of goods and services. (2) Measure the relationships between household and land use attributes and freight trip generation. (3) Estimate the impacts of e-commerce on travel demand and the highway network. Residential deliveries enabled by e-commerce and on-demand delivery services have been increasing rapidly. This shift in how consumers receive goods and services have direct impacts on the state and local roadway network. Yet, existing data and tools are not able to accurately reflect this trend. This research proposes an approach to addressing this missing component in the supply chain by incorporating household generated (attracted) freight trips into the demand analysis framework. This project will provide insights in quantifying last-mile demand to better reflect the actual freight demand and truck trips in the planning process.
