We focus on understanding city logistics through a behavioral lens.
We focus on understanding city logistics through a behavioral lens.
City logistics involve a wide range of players. There are people who ship goods, people who receive them, those who transport them, and those who set the regulations in cities. Our research examines how various players involved in city logistics—consumers, retailers, truck drivers, policy-makers, and logistics service providers—think, behave, and make decisions. We aim to provide evidence-based insights primarily using statistical and econometric modeling to support both public policymaking and private sector strategies in city logistics.
Major research topics include:
Consumer behaviors in the era of e-commerce
Advanced freight transportation systems (e.g., autonomous vehicles, drones, robots, electric vehicles)
Freight policy (e.g., congestion pricing, curbside management, freight demand management)
Freight demand modeling
Consumer behaviors. Our research explores online shopping behaviors, the relationship between online and in-store shopping, and shopping behaviors during major disruptions.
Emerging technologies. Our research investigate public and stakeholder acceptance of emerging technologies.
Freight policy. Our work analyzes how stakeholders respond to city logistics policies such as congestion pricing, curbside management, and freight demand management (e.g., off-hour deliveries).
Freight demand modeling. We develop models to estimate freight trip generation, parking demand, and other freight-related behaviors.
