• Abstract:
  The research is aimed at examining the multimodal freight transportation network in the New York metropolitan region to identify critical links, nodes and terminals that affect last-mile deliveries. Two types of analysis were conducted to gain a big picture of the region’s freight transportation network. First, three categories of network measures were generated for the highway network that carries the majority of last-mile deliveries. They are the descriptive measures that demonstrate the basic characteristics of the highway network, the network structure measures that quantify the connectivity of nodes and links, and the accessibility indices that measure the ease to access freight demand, services and activities.
