Conflicts between trucks and other vehicles in the downtown area cause delays to the motoring public and result in inefficient goods movement. Reducing these conflicts requires a quantitative understanding of the operating procedures of goods movement vehicles as well as a qualitative appreciation of why they occur as they do. Field data and interviews performed in both years of this study indicate that, land use is the dominant variable controlling goods movement patterns in the City Center. Goods activity, truck activity, internal distribution and other facets of goods distribution were conducted for a range of typical urban center land uses. The study documented several aspects of urban goods movement including: goods vehicle trip generation rates, generating characteristics, parking patterns, dwell-time, delays, etc. Based on the results of the two years of study general guidelines have been developed for facilitating goods movement in the urban center.
