      <title>Quantifying the Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Local Collection-and-Delivery Points for Last-Mile Deliveries</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1241524</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Concerns about the impacts of failed first-time home deliveries on road transport and the environment are growing because of the potential for additional vehicle trips for carriers and consumers. Local collection-and-delivery points (CDPs), at which consumers can collect their failed home deliveries, have emerged as a viable solution. On the basis of two databases of households from across Winchester and West Sussex in the United Kingdom and responses from nine major carriers, this paper quantifies greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from carrier and consumer trips related to the conventional delivery method, in which the carrier makes redelivery attempts when a delivery fails, and appraises the environmental benefits of CDP networks for handling delivery failures. The results suggest that most GHG emissions associated with handling failed home deliveries are generated by the carrier. The share of GHG emissions generated from consumers increases as the proportion of failed first-time home deliveries increases. A range of CDPs (supermarkets, railway stations, and post offices) was found to reduce the environmental impacts of failed home deliveries. A CDP network would reduce GHG emissions most effectively when (a) 30% or more of householders who experienced a failed first-time home delivery travel to the carrier’s depot to retrieve goods, (b) the proportion of failed first-time home deliveries is significant, and (c) "local collect"  post offices are used as CDPs. The study has practical and managerial implications for retailers and carriers about ways to improve home delivery services by identifying consumer home shopping behaviors and promoting more convenient and environmentally friendly delivery strategies.]]></description>

      <title>Addressing the Last Mile Problem: Transport Impacts of Collection and Delivery Points</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/880928</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The impacts of failed first-time home deliveries on additional carrier journeys (repeat deliveries) and customer trips (to retrieve goods from carrier depots) are of increasing concern to e-retailers and are assessed in this paper. The attended collection and delivery point (CDP) concept is one solution to first-time delivery failures, using a variety of outlets (e.g., convenience stores, petrol stations, post offices) as alternative addresses to receive deliveries. By using a database of households from across West Sussex in the United Kingdom, this paper confirms that certain benefits might accrue from using networks of Local Collect post offices, supermarkets, and railway stations as CDPs, compared with the traditional delivery method in which the carrier may make several redelivery attempts to the home with the customer making a personal trip to the carrier’s depot in the event that these attempts also fail. A network of CDPs across West Sussex would function most effectively (in reducing the overall traveling costs associated with handling failed first-time deliveries) when the proportion of first-time home delivery failures is greater than 20%, the proportion of customers traveling to the depot is more than 30%, Local Collect post offices are used as CDPs, and significant numbers of people would walk to their local CDP. Customers benefit the most from CDPs, with reductions in their current traveling costs of up to 90% being modeled here. The reduction in carrier traveling costs is much less, but the processing costs associated with home delivery failures are reduced significantly by diverting the failed packages to CDPs.]]></description>

      <title>The Use of Non-Emergency Ambulances in an Expanded Transport Role</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/842641</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In May 1990, the Centre for Transport Studies, now the Cranfield Centre for Logistics and Transportation, Cranfield Institute of Technology, and Margaret Heraty (consultant) were commissioned by the South East Thames Regional Health Authority to carry out a study of the non-emergency ambulance services in Kent and East Sussex. There are two main recommendations arising from this research: in Kent, consideration should be given to controlling ambulances in a demand-responsive manner during the "off peak" periods of mid-late morning and mid-afternoon, whilst, in East Sussex, there is scope for experimenting with a form of medical Dial-a-ride which would utilise spare capacity within the service to provide transport for mobility handicapped people to medical facilities.]]></description>
