Facilitating the Selection of City Logistics Measures through a Concrete Measures Package: A Generic Approach

Abstract

Urban areas represent great challenges for freight transport in terms of level of service, and economic and environmental impacts. Public authorities do not have good track record in selecting the proper measures to address city logistics issues. The paper aims at shaping a city logistics measures' package through the identification of the most common impact areas of widely implemented measures and the correlation of impact areas with sets of measures. This research activity will contribute in better understanding of city logistics, providing an insight of the policies that are mostly used in order to achieve the goals set. © 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.
