“…Our findings have several implications, as follows: A multi-level rail transit network was established, with a complete transportation service system. Some cities in the world only construct two-level transportation networks, where the city centers are connected by subways and railways, or cities are connected by high-speed railways, so that the starting and ending points of short-distance and long-distance intercity transportation are mixed together [ 65 ], which increases the burden of railway station hubs [ 66 ] and internal transportation in cities [ 67 ]. On the contrary, the framework designed and formed for rail transit gives it high accessibility of the small world network and improves travel efficiency [ 68 ].…”

In today’s environmentally conscious society, advocated by a global point of view, land and building use around rail transit stations have changed in the urbanization process. Promoting urban construction and development centered on rail transit stations not only meets the actual needs of urban sustainable development but is also an important means to guide the development of innovative cities. Therefore, it is meaningful to study the characteristics of urban spatial succession, development rules, and future trends based on this new perspective. We analyzed the relationship between rail transit networks and urban form in Japan using GIS by investigating changes in land and building use around rail transit stations over 30 years in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s (from 1985–2010) using factor analysis and cluster analysis, and we discussed the impact of land consolidation planning and the setting and site selection of new stations based on urban development to understand the development trends inside and outside station zones and urban spatial succession. The results showed the following: (1) There are certain relationships between the development of urban form and traffic demand, and the rail transit network in Japan has the characteristics of high accessibility and aggregation of a small network; (2) Commercial development with a high plot ratio is dispersed and diverted by high-density rail transit stations in the commercial center of Japan; and (3) Commercial sub-centers form complexes by integrating multi-line transfers and form regional linkages through clustered commercial development. Regional business centers realize the agglomeration and radiation of functions through the compound development of station zones. This case study on rail transit zones and urban spatial succession in Japan has important enlightenment significance for urban construction toward optimizing the location and development of suburban rail transit lines, promoting the compact development of cities, exploring new ways to build more reasonable transport, planning city design and layout for rail transit station zones, and providing decision-making references for urban regeneration and sustainable development.

“…As mentioned, finding suitable onstreet loading zones can take a lot of extra time and have a bigger impact on traffic in terms of congestion, accidents, accessibility, and pollution emissions. The e-ICTs can support couriers to book delivery bays [16,17], considering that the more frequently territorial public administrations introduce time windows that are specific to different classes of vehicles [39], and then they need to organize a dynamic queue. Therefore, there is a need to determine the best delivery bay, which will allow one to minimize the delivery route (times) considering the dynamic slots open and considering that delivery bays are frequently used by couriers to serve many clients at once (Figure 2).…”

This paper surveys urban courier routing, pointing out the learning process of the generalized travel cost enhanced by using innovations related to the introduction of emerging information and communication technologies (ICTs, i.e., the internet of things, big data, block chain and artificial intelligence), considering a smart city. Couriers, when planning in advance or choosing the routes in real time for delivering to citizens as well as to business users (including retailers), need to consider both the driving and walking routes (i.e., from the delivery bay to the customers) to optimize their activities. A two-layer literature optimization model is recalled, and the main scientific people-centered challenges that need to be addressed under the light of emerging ICTs are identified and explored, which are the learning process of routing attributes, as well as the opportunity to book on-street delivery bays in advance or in real time. Then, after a literature review on modeling courier activities, a unitary formulation is presented that combines old and real-time network data. In addition, integration with new telematics solutions (i.e., delivery bay booking) is pointed out. Finally, discussions on innovations and cost optimization are presented.

“…SDG 11 (make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) refers to cities. In this context, the European Commission has promoted the concept of sustainable urban mobility and has supported guidelines for developing Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) [13][14][15][16][17]. According to the SUMPs approach, the guidelines for developing and implementing Sustainable Urban Logistics Plans (SULPs) were defined within a research project named ENCLOSE (energy efficiency in city logistics services for small-and mid-sized European historic towns) [18].…”

This research germinates from the statement that cities need to solve the impacts caused by freight transport to improve their sustainability by implementing a set of city logistic measures. Urban freight distribution through environmentally friendly vehicle measures is one of the main sustainable actions being implemented worldwide, with a significant potential to reduce the congestion and pollution levels according to the assessment performed around the world. In this context, this paper aims to explore the use of railways for urban freight transport and then focuses on the potential of shifting from a road to railway system, which uses an advanced demand modelling framework specified and calibrated according to the results of surveys carried out in the study area. Subsequently, the potential benefits of introducing this urban freight transport through the metro system in Rome (Italy) are investigated, showing significant positive effects, both in terms of operational and external costs.
