Summary:
The rapid growth of commercial vehicle traffic in urban areas has increased competition for limited curb space, prompting cities to implement curb management strategies targeting freight transport demand. A Commercial Vehicle Load Zone (CVLZ) program is defined as a collection of infrastructure, policy, and regulatory strategies adopted by public agencies to manage commercial vehicle access and facilitate loading/unloading and provision of services in urban areas.

Summary:
Most of a delivery driver’s time is spent outside the vehicle, walking the last 50 feet to reach the delivery customers while the vehicle is stationary. However, little is known about the walking component of delivery routes, while most models and algorithms used for scheduling and planning urban freight vehicles focus solely on the driving component. This study fills this research gap by providing an empirical analysis of the role of walking in last-mile deliveries.

Summary:
Freight vehicle parking facilities at large urban freight traffic generators, such as urban retail malls, are often characterized by a high volume of vehicle arrivals and a poor parking supply infrastructure. Recurrent congestion of freight parking facilities generates environmental (e.g. pollution), economic (e.g. delays in deliveries), and freight and social (e.g. traffic) negative externalities.
