Abstract:
Shopping has changed. Online purchases, delivery services, and customer demands are dramatically reshaping the retail industry. How people shop, how supply chains operate, and how customers acquire goods changes transportation both on a personal level, and with respect to freight activity. This shift, from personal shopping to delivery services, has particularly significant impacts on urban transportation systems; already strained for capacity and experiencing other changes in personal mobility. In this talk, Professor Goodchild will review recent trends in supply chain and retail activity, and the ongoing research working to explain how this will affect transportation. She will describe the work of the Urban Freight Lab, and how they are working with the public and private sector to understand urban freight trends, and test solutions.
