Abstract:

Due to the progress of urbanization and the need to improve on the air quality, safety and provide healthier lives for the residential communities, this research aims to improve on the important last- mile delivery of freight carriers by analyzing their delivery activities in relation to the existing land use zones. The key findings from the authors' study show that the use of routing models improved the travel time cost and distance traveled within the urban area. The findings have directed future research towards the development of advanced routing models to reduce the residential land use footprint by carriers’ last-mile delivery.
