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 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 Warehouse Customers
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 “Breadcrumb” data: ID, Position, Velocity, Date, Time – Analytically segregate customer stop activity from movement activity Must be done accurately: – Congestion can look like a customer stop – A customer stop can look like congestion
GPS Data System Zinc II WinMobile SmartPhone w T*Mobile cellular data com running CoPilot Live satNav software – Live updates every 5 seconds on web Easy data availability to research team, shipper and receiver – Backup data archived every second on SmartPhone – Ability to send stop list and messages to driver – Relatively inexpensive $300 hardware, $50 software, $40/month short term data plan
GPS Challenges in NY Met Area Worst “urban canyon” in US – Position can drift substantially (to parallel street) Severe congestion can look like drift – GPS is least accurate in speed and heading at low speeds No GPS in Tunnels Substantial scatter and noise in both position, speed and heading in: – GWB, especially lower level, – Under elevated transit and expressways
