Analysis of the impact of E-commerce activities on residents' commute trips

E-commerce has the capacity to redirect certain individuals from physical transportation to online services, gradually altering human travel behaviours. This paper establishes a theoretical model to analyse the impact of e-commerce on the Land Use and Transport Interaction (LUTI) model. To achieve this goal, we employ the Metropolitan Activity Relocation Simulator (MARS) - attractiveness by car model to assess the sensitivity to e-commerce. The results demonstrate that e-commerce significantly affects the curve of attractiveness by car, and there is a positive correlation between them. The revised model offers insight into and explanation of how e-commerce impacts the LUTI model, providing a valuable tool for policymakers and planners to adapt to the current situation and effectively address issues.
