Summary Sentence: Tech's Transportation Speaker Series welcomes University of Washington Professor Anne Goodchild
Full Summary: Can replacing passenger vehicle travel with delivery service address both GHG emissions and traffic congestion simultaneously? Join us for a presentation by Dr. Anne Goodchild, on logistics and freight in the context of delivery services.Georgia Tech's Transportation Speaker Series welcomes University of Washington Professor Anne Goodchild
Moving Goods to Consumers: Land Use Patterns, Logistics, and EmissionsCan replacing passenger travel with delivery service reduce congestion and CO2 emissions as well as selected criteria pollutants? Further, does the design of the delivery service impact the results? Lastly, how do these impacts differ in rural versus urban land use patterns? This presentation addresses whether replacing passenger vehicle travel with delivery service can address both greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion simultaneously. Anne’s work in this field will contribute to increased integration of goods movement in urban planning, inform policies designed to mitigate the impacts of goods movement vehicles, and provide insights into achieving sustainability targets, especially as online shopping and goods delivery becomes more prevalent.
To attend, an RSVP is requested. Email NCTSPM@ce.gatech.edu.
