“…Therefore, the study area must represent a living pond both functionally (employment, daily mobility) and economically (activity and product exchange basin) [22]. It should be in a densely populated area [4]. Given that the cost and time are required to carry out this type of study, it is necessary to proceed to a specification of the study area in order to guarantee a good representation of the commercial activity, which will serve as a basis for extrapolating the studies and hypotheses of movement generation at other study areas [7].…”

“…Thinking about UFT also means thinking about the organization of urban space, business development, the environment and people's quality of life. The arbitration between the different components of UFT and the uses of roads is particularly complex [4][5] . Indeed, the road network and the public space represent a place of conflict between the UFT vehicles and other urban activities, particularly in mixed residential and commercial quarters.…”

The problem of planning and location of loading/unloading (L/U) areas attracting interest from several researchers. This is mainly because of the heterogeneity of information and the great complexity of logistics flows. Among the projects of the urban logistics in Morocco, the L/U areas represent an essential importance in the deliveries to the centers of the agglomerations. In light of this context, this work proposes a methodology for planning and location of L/U spaces for urban freight vehicles taking a commercial street in Morocco as a case study. Therefore, the proposed framework details the different steps of planning of L/U areas since the elaboration of the commercial map of the study area until the phase of sizing and location. Then, we study the applicability of this system, making a detailed proposal of the physical arrangements will be put in place, and the principle of spatial and temporal organization of deliveries, aiming at the best match between available supply and demand.

“…If logistics performance follows company rules, the performance of urban logistics is linked to the actions and objectives of the authorities, and yet "enterprise" visions are confronted with "authorities" visions (Morana, 2015). Given the complexity of operations, the multiplicity of actors, the stakes and the conflicting objectives of the transportation of goods in the city, its performance deserves to be approached in a transverse and global logic (Moufad and Jawab, 2017). In fact, this concept has long been taken from purely financial perspective.…”

The urban freight transport (UFT) is an important component of the urban logistics. It represents a driving force for the economic dynamics and attractiveness of a city. It can be treated as all movements of goods necessary for the economic activities, the institutions and the residents of urban life. Through, it faces with problems relating to the congestion, unsafety, atmospheric and noise pollution that constrain its performance and hinder its development. This performance is a complex subject on which a great deal of research has emerged in the last decade. Accordingly, this paper aims to develop a model for assessing the performance of the UFT. The objective is to identify the determinants of the performance of the urban freight transport and measure the impact of each factor. Therefore the first part of this article concerns the elaboration of the model and the formulation of the hypotheses. First, an overview of the factors that could influence the performance of the UFT was identified based on a literature review. The result of this step allowed to model, by mobilizing the GRAI grid (Graph of results and interrelated activities), the UFT system in order to release the decisional links between these factors. Then, the grid will be decomposed into hypotheses explaining the relations between the factors and the performance of the UFT. The formulation of each hypothesis will be based on all the theoretical works that have treated it. The second part includes the empirical study to test the model using the partial least squares (PLS) analysis. Therefore, we conducted a survey among managers and users of the UFT in the city of Fez. A hypothetico-deductive approach has been used with a sequential methodological complementarity between qualitative analysis for exploratory purposes and the support of quantitative analysis for confirmation. The results of the test, confirm a significant influence of the identified factors on the UFT performance. The practical scope of this paper is to provide a decision-making framework for urban management department explaining the impact of these factors on the UFT performance.
