“…Urban mobility plans are mandatory for cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants in Brazil. However, some cities include cargo mobility in these plans [26]. In general, the freight vehicle restriction is the main freight policy proposed by local authorities [26], ranked 11th in our analysis, in contrast to retailers' perceptions on the freight vehicle restriction [10], i.e., some agree and some disagree about the efficacy of this freight policy.…”

The aim of this paper is to analyze the perceptions of the transport service providers on the barriers in urban freight transport and the restrictions imposed on freight vehicles, identifying which urban freight transport policies can improve this activity in Brazil. Principal component analysis allowed us to identify which are barriers in urban cargo transport and the restrictions imposed on freight vehicles. In addition, we evaluated freight policies that can improve the activity using probabilistic preference. We obtained the database from a web-based survey of transport service providers in Brazil. The results indicate that the urban freight vehicle restriction is related to congestion and availability of loading and unloading areas. The freight vehicle restriction is a result of the lack of information and data. The theft of cargo significantly impacts urban freight transport. Transport service provider company perceptions indicate an urban mobility plan as the most-required freight policy to improve freight mobility. To reduce the barriers to urban freight planning, an understanding of the problem involving the stakeholders is needed. To do so, the challenge is to change the culture in the transportation planning process by integrating various actors to create an urban logistics plan that generates opportunities for the city.

“…Para atingir este objetivo, as so-luções de logıśtica urbana (LU) foram analisadas sob ponto de vista dos gestores públicos, iden-ti8icando as cidades que consideraram tais soluções nos PlanMobs. Pesquisa semelhante foi conduzida por Dias et al (2018), porém, com foco na percepção dos agentes públicos com rela-ção à implantação de soluções para a logıśtica urbana, independente da existência dos Plan-Mobs. Adicionalmente, nesse artigo é apresentada uma análise de conteúdo dos PlanMobs quanto ao grau de adoção da gestão do transporte de carga e uma comparação das soluções de logıśtica urbana e das percepções dos agentes públicos quanto ao TUC, comparando as cidades com PlanMob com aquelas que ainda não o têm.…”

A Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana regulamenta a acessibilidade e a mobilidade de pessoas e mercadorias nos centros urbanos. No entanto, os gestores públicos aparentam conferir menor importância ao transporte urbano de carga (TUC) em comparação ao transporte público de passageiros. Nesse sentido, esse artigo tem por objetivo investigar se os Planos de Mobilidade Urbana (PlanMobs) têm incorporado a gestão do TUC. Para tanto, foi conduzida uma pesquisa tipo survey com os gestores públicos para identificar a importância do TUC para a mobilidade urbana, bem como analisar os conteúdos dos PlanMobs com referência ao TUC por meio da técnica ‘Análise de Conteúdo’. Os resultados mostram que a mobilidade da carga está sendo contemplada de forma superficial nos PlanMobs e, de certa forma, negligenciada pelos gestores públicos.

“…Those issues are even more relevant for logistics operators and retailers located in regions of higher demand [6]. Usually, restrictive measures are implemented by the government to limit the circulation of freight vehicles in some areas of the cities [7], either due to a lack of awareness or even negligence from public managers [8]. Hence, the scarcity of urban and transportation planning has negative impacts on access to goods in urban areas, and on the citizens' quality of life.…”

An Overview of Problems and Solutions for Urban Freight Transport in Brazilian Cities

Urban freight transport is a challenge for Brazilian cities due to the lack of adequate planning for freight flow movement. Public managers also show negligence and a lack of awareness when dealing with urban logistics. Decision-support data on urban freight transport are still scarce, despite being of fundamental value to economic development. With this in mind, this paper presents problems and solutions regarding urban freight transport in Brazilian cities. Data were obtained through a survey conducted in nine cities and analysed by means of descriptive statistics and the successive intervals method. Additionally, a cluster analysis was performed to identify patterns regarding the typical characteristics of each city in order to compare and generalise the perception of retailers regarding problems and solutions at the national level. The results indicate divergent opinions among retailers from different cities, even from cities with similar socioeconomic profiles and urban dynamics. The municipalities which demonstrated the most similarities were (i) Betim and Niteroi, in the Southeast of Brazil; (ii) Palmas and Quixada, in the North and Northeast, respectively; and (iii) Palmas and Caruaru, also in the North and Northeast. The results reinforce the importance of studying the local context and involving stakeholders in the process of planning urban logistics solutions.
