Fundamental Difference between Urban People Movement and Urban Goods Movement
• People Movement • Largely single origin-destination
• Urban Goods Movement• Largely “tours” consisting of many linked and usually clustered
customer trips covering a day’s work. • To/From Cluster & Between Customers.• Customer often specifies time window for service

Objective of Pilot Test
• Characterize Manhattan Goods Movement Congestion By Time-of-Day (ToD)– Key aspect is “expected travel time” by location by ToD– Use normalized concept of “Average Speed” by Activity:
• Access to/from Manhattan• Travel between customers in Manhattan
– Receivers tend to be “buyers” of the goods• They substantially influence when the goods are delivered
• Implication:– Value pricing should be focused on the Receiver!!
• Place incentives on Receivers for off-peak receipts of goods!• Place dis-incentives on Receivers for peak hour receipt of goods!
Quantifying ToD and Spatial Congestion
• Method:– Focused on using GPS to objectively measure the
performance of the of the urban freight system– Gather frequent (~ every 5 seconds) GPS
