“…A study from Angers, France, used a mixture of land use and socio-economic data to classify different types of land use characteristics . A follow-on study connecting the above zone's typology with freight demand estimation, demonstrated no correlation between spatial typology and freight trip generation patterns (Ducret & Gonzalez-Feliu 2015). This confirms the argument made at the TRB 2016 Freight Day, that Land Use does not produce trips but economic activity does.…”

This research explored the extent to which urban freight policies and measures/ interventions, can be determined via the city logistics typologies and objectives studies developed from past work, comprehensively reviewing almost all European city logistics cases from the 1970s to the current day. Using EU, national, local and private sources, we collected over 260 cases from 60+ projects involving 121 cities. We reviewed urban freight typologies, based on land use, type of transport policies/measures, urban freight markets and traffic flows, city logistics problem/objectives, and other attributes, integrating cases with typologies, and validating our analysis through a panel of city logistics experts. This has created a new, comprehensive inventory that is modular and extensible. From this, and literature review, we have developed a novel, multi-dimensional, poly parametric typology for city logistics, that has multiple uses in analysing and selecting interventions.To INDEX a comprehensive inventory of city logistics interventions in a coherent, standardised, and modular manner, cross linking that typology to the impacts, validated by an expert panel, for use by the authors and, as importantly, by the wider city logistics research community for further inductive research. Secondly, to analyse and construct a city logistics typology as a methodological and theoretical tool for deductive work in the future, within the tradition of systems thinking and other research methods. LITERATURE REVIEWEfforts to define a city typology for city logistics is not new; a number of previous studies have been reported in the proceedings of the international conference of city logistics, e.g. (Quak et al. 2008;Benjelloun et al. 2010). Another study used previous city logistics projects to create a framework of components and criteria to define a so-called 'taxonomy', embedding five key components: description, business model, functionality, scope, and technology, to classify them (Benjelloun et al. 2010). In each of these components, several sub-level criteria were defined and, below that, a further sub-level of items, to characterise the reviewed projects. The taxonomy study demonstrated a comprehensive list of city logistics project characteristics.Other efforts to employ typology studies focused on types of city logistics measures used. A 'what if' (or 'ex-ante assessment') framework (Russo & Comi 2016) defined city logistics measures into four types: material infrastructure (e.g. new building, such as urban consolidation centres); non-material infrastructure (e.g. ITS, traffic monitoring); equipment (e.g. loading standards); and governance (e.g. time windows). Another study reviewed EU funded projects to assess their impacts on sustainability dimensions (economy, environment, society and (transport) customer service), showing that city logistics measures can be typified into five clusters: regulatory; cooperative; infrastructure development; new business models; and technological (Papoutsis & Nathanail 2016). The 4 A's approach...

Design and Analysis of the Task Distribution Scheme of Express Center at the End of Modern Logistics

With the rise and improvement of artificial intelligence technology, the express delivery industry has become more intelligent. At the terminal of modern logistics, each dispatch center has hundreds of express mail deliveries to be dispatched every day, and the number of dispatchers is far less than the number of express mail deliveries. How to assign scientific tasks to each courier dispatch is the main target of this paper. The purpose is to make the number of tasks between the various couriers in the express center roughly the same in each cycle, so that there is a more balanced income between the couriers. In the simulation experiment, the delivery addresses are clustered according to the balanced k-means algorithm. Then, the ant colony algorithm is used to plan the delivery order of the express items in each class. Then, the time cost model is established according to the delivery distance of the express items in each class and the delivery mode of the express items to calculate the delivery time cost. Through a large amount of experimental data, the standard deviation of delivery time cost of each courier gradually decreases and tends to stabilize, which suggests that this method has a good effect on the dispatching task assignment of the express center. It can effectively make the delivery workload between the distributors roughly the same, and improve the delivery efficiency of the courier, save energy, and promote sustainable development.

This paper reviews the state of the art in spatial accessibility and attractiveness indicators for urban freight transport and logistics, from a territorial intelligence and analytics viewpoint. It proposes a first typology of indicators and analyzes their potential in Latin American urban planning and development. After presenting the main notions of business intelligence and analytics, as well as a definition of territorial intelligence and analytics, the paper proposes an overview of territorial intelligence indicators, focusing on accessibility and attractiveness indicators, and a typology of five categories of indicators: infrastructure-based indicators, generation-based indexes, distance/ time/cost measures, gravity-based indicators and space-time compatibility indexes. Finally, the main issues for implementing such indicators are presented, in terms of data requirements and potential applications focusing on the Latin American context.
