SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn with Burges Visiting Professor Paul Buijs
DESCRIPTION:From “I can wait” to impact: Turning consumer patience into more sustainable ecommerce delivery\nPresented by Visiting Burges Professor Paul Buijs\, Associate Professor\, University of Groningen (Netherlands) \nWednesday\, October 29\, 2025\n12 noon – 1 p.m.\nIn person: More Hall\, Room 110\nOnline: Zoom link \nRSVP required. \nThe Visiting Burges Professorship and lecture is brought to you by Steve and Sylvia Burges and lunch is hosted by the Urban Freight Lab. \nAbstract: Do we really need every online order tomorrow\, or even today? Often not. Many consumers are willing to accept later delivery when it the option is presented well. This talk explores how that flexibility can be turned into measurable sustainability gains. \nThis presentation shares ongoing empirical work that quantifies willingness to wait: how many people will delay\, by how much\, and under what conditions. We test communication strategies and choice architecture to see what actually persuades consumers. \nSecond\, I discuss modeling of what e-commerce sellers and delivery companies can do with the extra time: smoothing workloads across days\, concentrating stops to increase delivery density\, or skipping low-yield routes. Each lever has distinct effects on distance traveled\, fleet use\, and emissions. \nFinally\, I connect consumer behavior with operational strategies to estimate the realizable potential under different contexts. We close with practical playbooks for e-commerce sellers\, delivery companies\, and cities on how to design checkout choices and delivery policies that translate “I can wait” into a more sustainable last mile. \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Paul Buijs explores how stakeholders are both affected by — and can contribute to — the transition to more sustainable logistics systems. His research spans a wide range of domains\, from urban delivery networks to heavy road freight\, and considers sustainability through multiple lenses\, including carbon emissions\, livability\, and economic inclusivity. Current topics include how logistics can adapt to evolving urban environments\, how urban planning can reduce the sector’s footprint in cities\, how to accelerate freight transport decarbonization\, how emerging ecommerce delivery and return models impact CO2 emissions\, and how to ensure the shift to green urban logistics is equitable for all. Dr. Buijs has a MSc in Industrial Engineering and Management and a Ph.D. in Sustainable Logistics\, both from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Presentation: Curb Digitalization for Last-Mile Deliveries (P26-20708)\nPresenter: Giacomo Dalla Chiara\nPanel: Unlocking the Power of Curb Data: Applications of the Curb Data Specification (Lectern Session 2048)\nDate & Time: Monday\, January 12\, 10:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. \nDescription: Cities are increasingly recognizing the curb as one of the most valuable—and most contested—pieces of public space. From rideshare pickups and delivery zones to micro-mobility parking and freight loading\, demand at the curb is higher than ever. The Curb Data Specification (CDS) provides a common language for cities\, technology providers\, and operators to manage this complexity. \nThis session will explore how cities are applying CDS to improve curb management and support broader mobility goals. Case studies will highlight lessons learned from early adopters\, demonstrate the role of CDS in enabling better coordination with private operators\, and showcase opportunities to use data-driven approaches for curbside policy and planning. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how to apply these insights to develop effective curb management strategies\, strengthen public-private coordination\, and enhance data-driven decision-making in urban planning practice.
