Crowdshipping: Evaluating its Impacts on Travel Behavior

As communications technology innovations continue to rapidly transform retail supply chains, novel solutions are required to reduce transportation network impacts from ubiquitous last-mile shipments. In recent years, direct-to-home deliveries of household and consumer products have grown rapidly, requiring more vehicles carrying smaller shipment sizes to complete increasingly time-constrained movements to disparate destinations. Crowdshipping provides one potential approach to address resulting inefficiencies and redundancies in these local and last-mile deliveries.
