Abstract
Insufficient numbers of parking space and lack of (off) loading areas are some of common problems that driver of delivery trucks have to deal with. One way to address this problem is by increasing the utilization rate of the limited parking spaces by ensuring short parking time of trucks. Attaining this brief parking time, however, requires a shift from a traditional way of delivering goods to a policy-driven method. Traditional way presents a situation where the driver has to leave his truck and make his way to the floor of the building to make delivery. Although this method remains to be popular due to its simplicity, there exist methods that when carefully enforce would present sizeable benefits. One of these policies is by assigning workers inside the building to facilitate the (un)loading activities to free the driver immediately. This paper discusses implementation of cooperative delivery system and tries to produce a guideline regarding what CDS design is suitable depending on the characteristics of the CBD.
