本研究测量和分析了联邦快递的包裹运输环境。本研究中监测的包装尺寸和重量代表FedEx处理系统中的“轻量”和“小型”包装。运输了5个包装，尺寸从0.18 × 0.19 × 0.13 m到0.36 × 0.37 × 0.31 m不等，重量为1.9-2.5 kg，带有或不带有“易碎-小心轻放”字样的警告标签。在密歇根州和加州或佛罗里达之间使用第二天空运模式进行运输。数据显示，包装尺寸/重量和标签对跌落高度的严重程度均无任何显著影响。测得的最高跌落高度为1.85 m。数据以与发生率第90、95和99百分位数相关的跌落高度表示。还讨论了影响方向。版权所有© 2004年约翰威利父子有限公司。
This study measured and analysed the parcel shipping environment within Federal Express. The package sizes and weights monitored in this study represent the ‘light‐weight’ and 'small‐size' packages within the FedEx handling system. Five packages, ranging in size from 0.18 × 0.19 × 0.13 m to 0.36 × 0.37 × 0.31 m, and weighing 1.9–2.5 kg, were shipped, both with and without warning labels with the text ‘Fragile – Handle With Care’. The shipments were done between Michigan and California or Florida using the second‐day air shipment mode. The data showed that neither the package size/weight nor the labels had any significant effect on the severity of drop heights. The highest drop height measured was 1.85 m. The data is presented in terms of drop heights associated with the 90, 95 and 99th percentile of occurrence. Impact orientation is also discussed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
