Using Structural Equations Modeling to explore perceived urban freight deliveries parking issues

The results show that, in general, the hypothesized relationships hold true. Perceived urban freight delivery parking issues are a function of the establishment characteristics, their distribution channels and delivery operations patterns. Weekly deliveries are dependent on distribution channels and establishment characteristics. Finally, weekly deliveries' frequency did not seem to influence the perceived urban freight delivery parking issues. This supports the hypothesis that the retailers' judgement is not biased by the frequency of said operations.
