Abstract

The objective of this paper is to study the potential market for electric Vertical-Takeoff-and-Landing (eVTOL) aircraft in the cargo delivery role in an urban network. Specifically, we study the potential small-package cargo operations network in the Northern California region. Recent developments in the cargo shipping industry have opened opportunities for faster modes of small-package delivery in intra-city markets. With increasing congestion of ground transportation modes and limited catchment areas, there is a potential for small-package, high-value cargo delivery using proposed eVTOL aircraft.The On-Demand Mobility (ODM) concept for cargo transportation could improve the speed and efficiency of the delivery of small packages to communities. The concept could expand the delivery services offered by traditional ground transportation modes. The concept, however, needs to offer compelling speed advantages at a reasonable cost. The objective of this study is to estimate the potential demand for ODM cargo operations in the Northern California area encompassing 17 counties. Annual cargo flows in the study area are estimated using the Transearch, Freight Analysis Framework 4, and Bureau of Transportation Statistics T-100 International datasets. A parametric analysis of market share presents the results of this study.The study presents a first-order impact analysis of ODM cargo operations on passenger ODM operations. A significant challenge in this study is the lack of specific level of detail of the shipment cost of the various databases used. Generally, private cargo companies do disclose detailed records of shipments to the public.
北加州地区按需移动货物需求估算
本文的目的是研究电动垂直起降(eVTOL)飞机在城市网络中的货运角色的潜在市场。具体来说,我们研究潜在的小包裹货物运营网络在北加州地区。货运业最近的发展为在城市内市场上更快的小包裹递送模式提供了机会。由于地面运输方式日益拥挤,集水区有限,建议使用eVTOL飞机运送小包裹、高价值的货物。货物运输的按需移动(ODM)概念可以提高向社区运送小包裹的速度和效率。这一概念可以扩展传统地面运输模式提供的交付服务。然而,这个概念需要以合理的成本提供令人信服的速度优势。本研究的目的是估计包括17个县在内的北加州地区对ODM货运业务的潜在需求。使用Transearch、Freight Analysis Framework 4和Bureau of Transportation Statistics T-100 International数据集估算研究区域的年货运量。本研究的结果为市场占有率的参数化分析。本研究提出货运ODM营运对客运ODM营运的一阶影响分析。本研究的一个重大挑战是缺乏对所使用的各种数据库的运输成本的具体详细程度。一般来说,私人货运公司确实会向公众披露货运的详细记录。
