UK Postal Workers Question Software’s Suggested Walking Pace
The system called Pegasus Europe Geo-route, used by the Royal Mail, calculates the optimum post load that can be delivered by staff. The new goal is 4 miles per hour or 15 minute miles. Until now the goal pace was 2. 5 miles/hour. Remember, besides the actual walking the workers typically carry bags, pick up mail, get signatures, etc. A reporter, a runner, couldn’t make the pace!
There’s quite a lot of pressure on letter carriers here in the states. Even my marathoning friends with routes in and around Boston find U.S. targets challenging.
