Description The rising growth in E-commerce purchases worldwide and the pressuring demands from e-commerce customers and retailers in terms of the frequency and speed of the delivery service may spur the intervention of public administrations, whose aim is to foresee the implications of this phenomenon and how to manage it accordingly. In this context, it is necessary to understand actual and future demand (both B2C and B2B) in terms of quantity, spatial distribution and socio-economic characteristics.
The thesis involves the elaboration of a demand estimation model of e-commerce purchases taking into account its main drivers and thus estimating the predisposition to e-commerce purchase of different population segments. The demand analysis will be used to support a quantitative and spacial design of a network of parcel lockers on the Piedmont region.
