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 area of Manhattan, New York City, and to investigate the expected traffic impacts of double parking parcel delivery vehicles. Field observations revealed a number of unique characteristics of parcel deliveries and of individual carriers. Analysis of simulation results identifies two major conclusions: (1) different double parking location choice along the estimated corridor resulted in a corridor capacity drop of 6%-12%; (2) at moderate flow, the average parking duration was found to have a significant impact on vehicle delay along the corridor for some vehicles.
