The pilot will test the ability of new mini-distribution centers in cities \u2013 such as smart lockers \u2013 to create delivery density and reduce the time delivery people have to spend in urban towers to complete their work. The Lab is collecting \u2018before\u2019 and \u2018after\u2019 data to evaluate the pilot\u2019s premise: that when delivery trucks can pull into a load\/unload space that\u2019s close to a mini-distribution node with delivery density (lots of deliveries in one place), everyone benefits.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about this upcoming pilot\u00a0please see\u00a0their <a href=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2018.3.12-SCTL-Pilot-Annoucement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of PacTrans&#8217; ongoing research projects, lead by UW PI Dr. Anne Goodchild is titled, Final 50 Feet of the Urban Goods Delivery System: Pilot Test of an Innovative Improvement [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4746"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4797,"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4746\/revisions\/4797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/pactrans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
