“…Only moving to supply-side scenario 3 one finds that the number of potential crowdshippers does not satisfy the maximum potential demand. However, this figure might vary by considering the possible lifestyle changes due to either environmental policy interventions [49] or incentives such as gamification [29] and parking cash-out [13]. These results underline a potential market for the new service and the importance of paying attention to service design especially with respect to the supply side.…”

Cities crave innovative logistics solutions dealing with the requirements of the 'on demand economy'. The paper estimates the willingness to act as a crowdshipper (supply) and to buy a crowdshipping service (demand) to get goods delivered/picked-up in the last mile B2C e-commerce situation. Specifically, it innovates by considering an environmental-friendly crowdshipping based on the use of the mass transit network of the city where parcels customers/crowdshippers pick-up/drop-off goods in automated parcel lockers located either inside the transit stations or in the surroundings. This issue is very important since "standard" crowdshipping is usually not able to reduce congestion and polluting emissions due to the dedicated trips performed using private motorized vehicles. The paper rests on an extensive stated preference survey. The hypothetical scenarios used to acquire both demand (customers') and supply (crowdshippers') preferences make use of the most relevant attributes emerging from a preliminary investigation performed in the study context. The investigation is performed in the city of Rome and the metro is the transit system considered. The results are useful in understanding and quantifying the potential of this freight transport strategy for e-commerce in an urban context and in providing local policy makers with a good knowledge base for its future development.

“…Simply increasing the cost of parking cannot ease congestion. To mitigate this situation, parking cash-out has been suggested as an effective and efficient policy to reduce single occupancy car commuting trips [42]. Results indicate that, regardless of model specifications, parking cash-out has a negative and significant effect on the probability of private car choice.…”

Increasing automobile use leads to higher costs for traveling associated with emissions, congestion, noise, and other impacts. One option to address this is to introduce high parking charges to reduce the demand for automobile use and encourage the travel mode switch to public transport. To estimate commuters’ mode choice behavior in response to high parking fees, commuters from Nanjing completed an individually customized discrete choice survey in which they chose between driving and taking the bus or metro when choices varied in terms of time and cost attributes. Multinomial logit models were used to estimate commuters’ responses to high parking charges. In the models, the variability of travel times is considered and analyzed in the stated mode choice models. The results suggest that increases in costs of driving will lead to a great reduction in driving demand. The travel time reliability ratio is 0.50 and the value of each minute late is almost 5.0 times more than the average travel time with the restriction of the maximum allowed delays. The methods used in this study could be adopted to estimate the effect of variable pricing strategies on mode choice responses for different trip purposes. The high value given to travel time variability has implications for transport policy in terms of decision making with respect to new pricing strategies. Moreover, the valuation of travel time savings taken into account in this study would be helpful to better understand the effect of high parking fees.

“…SP was chosen since it is perfectly suitable for investigating individuals' perceptions, acceptance, and reactions towards hypothetical conditions not present in the market. In fact, SP has been widely used in the transportation context for: (i) Evaluating potential behaviour changes (e.g., [38,39]); (ii) estimating modal shift (e.g., [40,41]); and (iii) analysing attitudes or satisfaction related to innovative services (e.g., [42,43]). SP has also been applied to the freight sector for: (i) Predicting stakeholders' reactions to policy changes (e.g., [44,45]); (ii) fostering stakeholder involvement and acceptability in the planning process (e.g., [46,47]), and (iii) in combination with other methods such as agent-based models (e.g., [48,49]).…”

Public Transport-Based Crowdshipping for Sustainable City Logistics: Assessing Economic and Environmental Impacts

This paper aims at understanding and evaluating the environmental and economic impacts of a crowdshipping platform in urban areas. The investigation refers to the city of Rome and considers an environmental-friendly crowdshipping based on the use of the mass transit network of the city, where customers/crowdshippers pick-up/drop-off goods in automated parcel lockers located either inside the transit stations or in their surroundings. Crowdshippers are passengers that would use the transit network anyhow for other activities (e.g., home-to-work), thus avoiding additional trips. The study requires firstly, estimating the willingness to buy a crowdshipping service like the one proposed here, in order to quantify the potential demand. The estimation is realized adopting an extensive stated preference survey and discrete choice modeling. Then, several scenarios with different features of the service are proposed and evaluated up to 2025 in terms of both externalities (local and global pollutant emissions, noise emissions and accidents reductions) and revenues. The results are useful to understand and quantify the potential of this strategy for last mile B2C deliveries. Moreover, it provides local policy-makers and freight companies with a good knowledge base for the future development of a platform for public transport-based crowdshipping and for estimating the likely impact the system could have both from an economic and environmental point of view.
