Abstract:

Recent growth in ecommerce has quickly impacted the distribution of parcel deliveries in urban areas, with residential deliveries accounting for a rapidly growing share of freight movement. Through field observation and development of a simulation model, this study aims to investigate the characteristics of parcel delivery activity in a heavily residential areas of Manhattan, New York City, and to investigate the traffic impact of double parking parcel delivery vehicles. Field observations revealed a number of unique characteristics of parcel deliveries and of individual carriers. Despite model limitations, analysis of simulation results also revealed some interesting relationships that may be of interest to decision-makers in targeting parking policies for parcel delivery activity.
