“…The authors report the result of a stated ranking exercise conducted in the Limited Traffic Zone of Rome (Italy) in 2009 focusing on retailers and their acceptability to pay for different measures concerning urban deliveries [16]. The authors make a comparison between two model specifications and study the non-linear effects for the variations of the levels of the attributes considered.…”

“…All the above measures and policies focus mainly on the "supply" of transport services and together with an appropriate push to all stakeholders for policy acceptability and implementation (see for example [19]), can have a marked impact. A major sector of the suggested decarbonization policies also includes proposals for managing the "demand" for transport services.…”

In its first part, the paper gives a summary of the levels of emissions resulting from each mode of transport by use of statistics at the European and global levels. It also summarizes the main measures and policies that have been put forward for the reduction of freight transport greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To facilitate the subsequent analyses, these measures and policies are classified into four categories, i.e., affecting the “demand” for freight transport services, shifting freight to less or no carbon-intensive modes, improving the energy efficiency of existing freight vehicles, and transitioning to “clean” fuels including electricity and hydrogen. For each of these categories, their current or potential use of information technology (IT) applications is presented, and key examples of such applications are mentioned. In the final part, a multicriteria analysis is performed with the help of two expert panels which are asked to assess, on a 5-level Likert-type scale, the extent of IT use in each of the four categories. The results show an important or very important contribution of IT in all categories except “improving the energy efficiency of current vehicles”. The highest contribution (with scores higher than 4) appears to be in the category “shifting freight to less carbon-intensive modes”.

“…Cities manifest strong dependence on freight transport systems to efficiently ensure the flow of goods and services and the availability of resources needed to maintain the economy and quality of life (Marcucci and Gatta, 2014 ; Holguin-Veras et al, 2021 ). Organizing in urban areas is an efficient way to exchange goods and services; as Holguin-Veras et al ( 2021 ) point out, most people and economic activities use, at some level, goods that are traded and, consequently, have been moved.…”

This paper aims to evaluate the driving style effects, through the construction of driving cycles, on the polluting gases, in the context of urban freight transportation. For this, the method used was the construction of cycles through the Vehicle Specific Power (VSP) parameter, which considers instantaneous vehicle and road parameters better to represent driving patterns and freight transportation's environmental impacts. The study was conducted in Fortaleza city, Ceará, Brazil, with a professional driver's group. The road types, land use and traffic light location were considered to analyze and discuss the results. The results show collector roads presented higher speeds than arterial roads, and the use of the land around the road also directly impacted vehicle driving patterns. Regarding CO2 emissions, higher concentrations measured were observed on the arterial roads.
