Abstract:

The potential impact of e commerce on freight movements in cities is an important consideration for freight operators and policy makers however little research focuses on the impact of e commerce freight movements in urban areas especially in the South African context With the growth of e commerce and the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic it is necessary to investigate methods to improve last mile delivery planning for e commerce deliveries in urban areas The paper therefore focuses on evaluating the potential impacts of different e commerce delivery methods home delivery collection points and click and collect on ecommerce freight movements and carrier cost Results provide a good starting point to understand the potential impacts of delivery decisions and omni channel design on delivery cost Results from this analysis can be used by planners decision makers and delivery service providers to glean some useful insights for improved planning of ecommerce operations and offerings
