Motivation 2
Traffic Congestion
Supply Perspective
Transportation Demand Management
MotivationTDM has primarily focused on passenger
cars
Regrettably: the role that TDM could play on freight has been overlooked
3
Off-Hour DeliveriesAn important freight TDM measure involves the
use of public sector incentives to induce a change in delivery times from the regular to the off-hours (7PM to 6AM).
Complexity:

Delivery time!!!
Behavioral Micro-Simulation (BMS)
Behavioral Micro-Simulation (BMS)Objective: simulate the carriers’ and receivers’
joint decision process to evaluate TDM policiesFeatures: deep behavioral foundation
embedded in the decision making process followed by carriers and receivers
Fundamental insight: in order for OHD to be implemented, both carriers and receivers have to be better off
5
Overall process of the BMS 6
Carrier/receiver synthetic generation Randomly select industry segment
o Generate/locate carriero Generate/locate receivers to serve
Receiver behavioral simulation Model receiver’s decision to accept OHD
Carrier behavioral simulation Compute costs for base case and mixed operation Model carrier’s decision
Repeat for another carrier-receivers set
End
Change incentives, reset participation counts
Define range of incentives to receivers for OHD
Ordinal logit model (Holguin-Veras et al 2013)
Regular-hour receiver
Off-hour receiver

Case study: New York CityThe island of Manhattan is the economic center
of a large metropolitan area of a total population of 20 million with NYC, and its eight million residents, as its center

OTI = $2,000avg = 2.7%max = 7.6%min = 1.2%
OTI = $4,000avg = 3.4%max = 7.6%min = 1.3%
OTI = $6,000avg = 4.3%max = 9.9%min = 1.9%
OTI = $8,000avg = 5.5%
max = 11.9%min = 2.6%
OTI = $10,000avg = 7.0%
max = 13.4%min = 3.5%
Results: incentives and impact on OHDOTI of $1,000 + BS + PR would move more
than 2,300 deliveries to the night hours; this corresponds to a reduction of 2% of deliveries. Budget of $2.4 millions
If the incentive reaches $10,000, more than 8,000 deliveries could be moved to the night. Budget of $70 million
Each delivery is estimated to take between 45 and 90 minutes in the regular hours (pilot tests show delivery times of less than 30 min during OHD)
Results: geographic oriented incentivesOne of the most remarkable results comes from
geographic oriented incentivesThe most congested parts of the city; lower and
midtown Manhattan, has the largest economic and social benefits
OTI of $10,000, requiring $36 million, could move around 4,100 deliveries, similar numbers than giving incentives to the entire city with the exception that these deliveries are made in the most congested part of the city
ConclusionsThe BMS is an important tool for evaluating
TDM policies; in this case the set of incentives to foster Off Hour Deliveries
The application to the Manhattan case study provides significant insight into the potential benefits, and limitations: Off-Hour DeliveriesGeographic oriented incentivesSelf Supported Freight Demand Management
