During the DISCO Project meeting held in Cologne in October 2024, Anne Goodchild presented the findings from the Urban Freight Lab's DISCOCURB initiative. This project aimed to analyze commercial vehicle parking behaviors and the effectiveness of a new parking application, Open Park. The study involved a randomized experiment comparing delivery performance metrics between drivers using the app and those without it. Key results indicated that current curbspace management practices in Seattle are underutilized, with a significant percentage of commercial vehicles parking without permits. The presentation highlighted the need for improved enforcement and technology adoption to enhance curb management efficiency and compliance among commercial vehicle operators. Overall, the insights from ICBT experts emphasized the importance of data-driven approaches in urban freight logistics to foster better outcomes for both city infrastructure and service providers.Link to the Pdf |
