“…This is expected in the present study setting in which the survey was targeted toward companies that either shipped the goods to retail malls or received goods at retail malls. These retail malls typically have a good number of food service establishments that attracted frequent deliveries compared with other establishment types in the mall ( 44 ). Therefore, we cannot generalize the findings from this study to other settings in which the type of shipper and receiver establishments might be different.…”

“…The core of the city (in the south of the island) has a particularly high concentration of shopping malls, including the region surrounding Orchard Road, one of Singapore’s main shopping avenues. Shopping malls attract many deliveries, particularly to the retail and food service stores located within ( 44 ). This results in congestion at mall loading/unloading bays during peak periods ( 45 ).…”

“…In other words, receivers outside malls would not be engaged in OHD or UCC initiatives. Also, Cheah et al ( 44 ) showed that among the three types of establishments located in shopping malls, retail and food service stores are the major generators of freight deliveries and other service establishments received minimal deliveries. Therefore, retail and food service establishments located in the malls were selected for the present study.…”

With rapid ongoing urbanization, cities across the world face a multitude of challenges in urban logistics. Delivery of goods to retail districts is particularly challenging as these places are typically located in congested urban centers. In response, policy makers have explored various freight management initiatives, including urban consolidation centers (UCC) and off-hour deliveries (OHD). This study examines the impact of these initiatives on freight flows to a retail district in Singapore. The study approach pairs empirical behavioral models and an agent-based simulation. First, using results from a stated preference survey, the choice behavior of two relevant actors—establishments that ship goods and establishments that receive goods within a retail district—and their likelihood of participating in UCC or OHD are analyzed. Then, the resulting behavioral models are incorporated into a city-scale agent-based simulator to evaluate the impact of these initiatives on freight flows, tracking multiple logistics-related performance indicators. The results show that the likelihood of participating in UCC and OHD declines when multiple actors are involved in the participation decision. Both UCC and OHD have the potential to reduce freight traffic and parking demand, although in different ways. For UCC, a minimum level of participation must be achieved to guarantee increase in vehicle load factors. OHD decreases load factors as well as the required number of dedicated trips to the retail district.

“…Based on previous research, several factors affect FG and FTG are raw materials, production goods [6], land area [7], number of employees [7]- [14], distance to market [9], [10], and type of industry [10], [12], [13]. In addition, several methods are used for this modeling, such as linear regression analysis [8], [10], [11], [15], ross-classification analysis [12], and multiple classification analysis [9], [12]. Linear regression and multiple classification analyses are suggested for FG/FTG modeling due to their simplicity in modeling and presentation of results [12].…”

One of the sectors supporting the country’s economic development is the commercial sector. With the increasing population, the demand for consumer goods will increase, impacting trip generation. Thus, it is necessary to conduct a study to predict the trip generation of freight transport in shopping centers, especially in DKI Jakarta, with textile stores as trip generators. This research aims to determine the travel pattern of freight transport and freight trip generation models produced and attracted at the Thamrin City shopping center and to analyze the factors influencing freight trip generation. The research was conducted using a quantitative research method with a cross-sectional. Data collection used a questionnaire given to 105 merchants. Data analysis used linear regression methods with the number of freight trip production and attraction as the dependent variable. The independent variables used are the number of employees and gross floor area. The study results show that the delivery of goods using expedition services is sent to the distribution center before being sent to the destination. While shipping goods using private vehicles, sent directly to the destination location. The gross floor area significantly influences the trips generation. Transportation planners can use this research to estimate the number of trip generation in shopping center areas in the future.
