Modeling shipment size for intra-city shipments is a subject that has not been sufficiently addressed in past research, despite its growing importance in disaggregate freight modeling. While past research on shipment size estimation mainly focuses on inter-city shipments, intra-city shipments differ from them in various aspects. In filling this research gap, this study estimates shipment size models using the records of intra-city shipments, identifying the effects of factors and heterogeneity on the shipment size selection mechanism. The estimated coefficients are also compared against their theoretical values derived from a conceptual economic order quantity model. The estimated empirical models highlight the characteristics of intra-city shipments and indicate the importance of both receiver function and commodity type, and also vehicle operation type, in capturing the nuances of the selection mechanism among intra-city shipments.
