“…CL is a discipline specialized to cope with the sustainability problems encountered in urban freight transport [ 12 ]. Its aim is the ‘integration of existing resources in order to solve problems arising from the motorisation index increase in the city’ [ 13 ]. Definitions of CL known from the literature underline its several important dimensions, i.e.…”

Efficient city logistics is essential to build smart sustainable cities where inhabitants’ well-being is a priority. Meanwhile, despite the great importance of city logistics processes, their improvement is problematic for many cities. Although solutions from the field of emerging technologies are more and more often used, the question is whether implementing technological tools and filling cities with sensors is a sufficient solution that can solve the problems of intensely growing urban freight transport. The aim of the paper is to examine the role of knowledge management in city logistics and identify barriers to the implementation of knowledge-based city logistics. A key element of the research procedure was an expert survey, to which 31 international experts specialising in city logistics issues were invited, characterised by extensive experience working on research projects in the area of interest. Four knowledge management processes have been transferred to the city logistics area. The results of the study show that the difficulties are observed mainly in the processes of data gathering and knowledge acquisition. The main reason for difficulties in that area is the reluctance of city users, retailers, transport and logistics operators to share information. Identifying these processes as the most problematic is a valuable hint for logistics managers, municipalities and academics. To improve knowledge-based city logistics, it is therefore necessary to focus on these processes and look for the best solutions and new forms of organisational and business support. The solution to the problems identified in the study is the proposal to create a city logistics collaborative knowledge base which is a combination of an IT tool ‐ the CL knowledge management platform, and the Freight Quality Partnership.

“…Taniguchi and Tamagawa [26] have developed a methodology to assess city logistics measures, considering the behaviour of many stakeholders involved in the urban transport of goods. Specifically, this methodology includes five stakeholder classes: administrators, residents, freight forwarders, carriers and operators, and it is based on a test network simulation approach, treating it as an optimization problem.…”

Freight Transport Demand Models for Applications in Urban Areas

Nowadays vehicles committed to the distribution of goods in urban areas are a significant load on transport infrastructure in terms of congestion, accidents, noise and air pollution. We can no longer think about intervening through the construction of infrastructure: sooner or later the new infrastructure will be congested, and externalities will increase with traffic growth. It should, however, point to a careful examination of the structural factors of mobility, ie the understanding and reading of demand, rather than focusing exclusively on the offer. Analysis of mobility demand, and therefore trends and characteristics of the entities that actually move and produce mobility, is essential to deal with the best management of a transport system and, at the same time, of a territory. The paper provides a review of freight transport demand models for applications in urban areas. A methodology for evaluating freight transport in medium-sized cities is proposed in order to enable the determination of the quantity of goods handled, distinguished by type, and the number of vehicles used for this purpose. In this paper the focus is on the fruit and vegetable sector and a survey method for an urban area of medium size is illustrated. The data collected made it possible to calibrate models to estimate the demand for freight transport in urban areas.

“…Those early works set the basis of the methodology, comprising the identification of goals and objectives, the determination of criteria and the construction of evaluation matrices (Thompson and Hassall, 2005). Also, the need to include different stakeholder groups, like carriers, shippers, residents or administrators, each with different views and objectives, was also made clear (Taniguchi and Tamagawa, 2005).…”

The ex-ante evaluation of urban freight solutions is a complex task, due to the interference of different stakeholder groups with different views and objectives. The multi-actor multi-criteria methods have developed as a response to this scenario, but the determination of the weights required by them remains an unclear and controversial task. We propose the use of discrete choice methods as a powerful tool to confront these multi-faced evaluation problems, since the resulting surveys are flexible and easy to respond, and do not give away the final quantitative results. We have applied this methodology to the selection of urban freight solutions in the city of Seville, in Spain, followed by the determination of the relative weights associated to different objectives, both analyses carried out from the side of the carriers stakeholder group.
