A Stated Ranking Experiment to Study Policy Acceptance: The Case of Freight Operators in Rome's LTZ

Abstract

City logistics require an understanding of a number of issues that are seldom accounted for in current research. Policies may produce unsatisfactory results because behavioural and contextual aspects are not considered. Relevant data is crucial for forecasting the reactions of agents to policy changes. Despite recent methodological advances the development of appropriate survey instruments is still lacking to test policy acceptability. This paper expands and innovates the methodological literature by describing a stated ranking experiment to study freight agent interactive behaviour.

Electrifying the Last-Mile Logistics (LML) in Intensive B2B Operations—An European Perspective on Integrating Innovative Platforms

“…Figure 1 represents how the literature has treated these interactions to achieve harmonious development. A significant body of literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and research aims at better understanding and modeling the interactions between the city authorities and its citizens vis a vis of the logistic operations. The public-business interaction lies in the "Public Space" in Figure 1.…”

Determining time windows in urban freight transport: A city cooperative approach

“…All of them have different interests related to UFT that are worth being analysed. Marcucci et al (2012) investigate these stakeholders' preferences with respect to urban freight policies using a survey instrument. These stakeholders interact with each other in their responses to e.g.…”

Low emission zones : acceptability evaluation and impact on mobility and retail activity : an empirical analysis in Madrid

“…Retailers in this study place orders and are the ultimate receivers of goods deliveries, but they scarcely manage the flow of goods to their stores. Moreover, the majority of wholesalers and retailers are not able to distinguish between carriers with high and low emissions, so environmental friendliness is ranked as the least important criterion when wholesalers choose their transport provider Marcucci et al (2012). used agent-specific policy analysis in the Chapter State of the art Limited Traffic Zone of Rome.…”
