The chapter discusses specific challenges and applications for modelling urban distribution. In fact, the analyses of urban freight transport traditionally focus only on restocking flows and usually neglect shopping flows. But the end-consumer choices in relation to type of purchasing undoubtedly impact on freight distribution flows and the end ...

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2013
In light of the necessity of reducing motorized road traffic in Europe, above all in city centers, focus is switching more and more to cycle freight. At present there is little research or systematically prepared findings in this area. This paper demonstrates that the use of cycle freight is already widespread, though restricted to larger cities, which

Behavioral Modeling of Urban Freight Transport
2013Decision makers in urban goods movement (UGM) typically need to assess the impact new policy interventions might have on freight distribution. The effects of policy changes are inextricably related with the extant regulatory framework that also influences the relationships among the various actors interacting along the supply chain.

Relevance of Urban Freight Transport Modelling Towards the Challenges of Urban Freight Policy
2018The main objective of this paper is to investigate how recent trends in urban freight transport analysis and modelling are related to urban freight measures set out in Gdynia’s 2016 Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan. Building on the literature, a review framework was defined including (1) stakeholders, (2) descriptors, (3) objectives and (4) solution ...
