“…It should be noted that goods vehicle flows are driven by end-consumer demand. As revealed by some surveys carried out in the larger European cities (Schoemaker et al [13]; Gonzalez-Feliu et al [14]), the 69% of urban distances (veh * km) covered each day by motorized vehicles consist of shopping trips, 24% of restocking trips (e.g. deliveries to shops, hotel, restaurant or catering activities) and the remaining 7% result from urban management (e.g.…”

Purpose Within the field of goods vehicles mobility, the paper points out the road safety that has impacts on both social and economic sustainability spheres. The contribution of goods vehicles is investigated and the results obtained for the larger European countries are discussed. Methods The used methodology is statistic-descriptive, extracting from a large available database successive and more in-depth information. Starting from aggregated (at national level) data for accidents involving goods vehicles in urban area, the paper evidences the urban junctions as the main critical situation for accidents. Results One of the main findings is that urban goods vehicle accidents received little attention, but being an important segment of urban mobility, much remains to do for reaching the zero-accident EU goal by 2050 in this segment. Conclusions The paper, in the context of European urban planning, finalises the analysis results, reviewing the main methods to assess road accidents, and linking mobility simulation and safety simulation models. The findings of this study can represent the base for developing successful city plan. In fact, paper provides some indications to researchers and city planners for identifying which are the main factors to be investigated and monitored for improving urban road safety.

“…Few studies have hence analysed shopping mobility as a component of goods mobility and considered that changes in shopping attitudes or actions impacting on purchasing behaviour of end consumers (e.g. location of shopping zone, transport mode to use for shopping) can also affect restocking mobility (Gonzalerz-Feliu et al [21], Miodonski and Kawamura [30]; Sanchez-Diaz et al [45]). This shows that further work needs to be done in this field, especially when long-term scenarios have to be assessed.…”

Summary. This paper explores the new research challenges for forecasting urban goods demand by rail. In fact, the growing interest to find urban logistics solutions for improving city sustainability and liveability, mainly due to the reduction of urban road accessibility and environmental constraints, has pushed to explore solutions alternative to the road. Multimodal urban logistics, based on the use of railway, seem an interesting alternative solution, but it remained mainly at conceptual level. Few studies have explored the factors, that push actors to find competitive such a system with respect to the road, and modelling framework for forecasting the relative demand. Therefore, paper reviews the current literature, investigates the factors involved in choosing such a mode, and finally, recalls a recent modelling framework and hence proposes some advancements that allow to point out the rail transport alternative. MODELOWANIE PROGNOZOWANIA TRANSPORTU DÓBR W MIASTACH Z WYKORZYSTANIEM KOLEIStreszczenie. Artykuł analizuje nowe wyzwania badawcze związane z prognozowaniem transportu dóbr w miastach z wykorzystaniem kolei. Rosnące zainteresowanie znalezieniem logistycznych rozwiązań miejskich, które miałyby poprawić zrównoważony rozwój miasta oraz zwiększyć jakość życia mieszkańców, spowodowane jest zmniejszeniem dostępności do dróg miejskich oraz ograniczeniami środowiskowymi. Wspomniane aspekty wymogły rozpoczęcie badań nad innymi rozwiązaniami niż wykorzystanie dróg. Multimodalne rozwiązania logistyki miejskiej, oparte na wykorzystaniu kolei, wydają się być interesującym rozwiązaniem alternatywnym, jednak pozostają głównie tylko na poziomie koncepcji. W badaniach analizowano czynniki, które skłaniały do odnalezienia konkurencyjnego dla drogi systemu i ramy modelowania dla prognozowania rzeczywistego popytu. W artykule zaprezentowano ocenę bieżącej literatury, badanie czynników wpływających na wybór kolei oraz przypomniano niedawne ramy modelowania. W pracy zaproponowano również nowe rozwiązania, które pozwalają na wskazanie transportu kolejowego jako alternatywy do transportu drogowego.

“…This is a field that has been investigated in recent years (Quak & de Koster, 2009;Gonzalez-Feliu et al, 2012;Stathopoulos et al, 2012). Given the heterogeneity of the interests of these stakeholders, coordination becomes somewhat cumbersome, so they generally act independently and without any centralized control.…”

a,i rgrosso@us.es a,ii munuzuri@etsi.us.es abstract: The aim of this paper is to seek an answer to an specific question: how to make city logistics sustainable? This question in principle has no specific answer. By contrast, it could be answered in many and varied ways. Behind the search for some of these answers lies the development of a roadmap which this work aims to present. The research lines, the theoretical framework and methodology of the roadmap will be explained. Although the current status of the roadmap, its duration and timing still need to be completed, the main facts, as well as the results obtained to date and the expected results are here presented.
