| Research Abstract |
This study aims to reveal the basic characteristics of delivery activities based on probe date which were gathered by a set of probe equipment (comprising GPS and data logger) mounted to trucks. With these probe data, we formulated mathematical models to lay out delivery plans for trucks under environmental restrictions. Then some delivery plans for different trucks were proposed and evaluated from the viewpoints of both reduction in truck operation cost and improvement of urban environment. The main findings of this study are summarized as follows:
First, we built mathematical models for deciding optimum departure time to make the designated delivery time and choosing optimum delivery route by considering the uncertainty of travel time and loading/unloading time obtained based on probe data. We also deducted some factors influencing route choice by trucks on road networks and developed disaggregate route choice models using revealed factors as explanatory variables.
Second, we made two types of delivery plans for different trucks (home delivery service trucks and freight container trailer trucks). 1) We proposed allocation plans of distribution centers for home delivery trucks under the cargo OD demand, and evaluated them from improvement of efficiency of truck delivery service as well as reduction in negative environmental impacts. 2) We estimated the effects of toll policy on changing trucks' (trailer trucks) running routes from highways in urban area, environmentally vulnerable area, to expressway in coastal area to improve roadside environment, using our route choice models.
