Main objective of Deliverable 1

• The main objective of Deliverable 1 is:

• To provide a worldwide review of state-of-the-art urban logistics measures, their underlying objectives and related data collection methods

• This review does not assess measures• Assessment is done at later stages in the

project

3 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Regional reports

The deliverable has been based upon information supplied in five regional reports:

Regional Report “EU” – ITS

Regional Report “Brazil” – BHTRANS

Regional Report “Spanish Latin America” – PTL_UNI

Regional Report “Asia” – NEA

Regional Report “rest of the world” – TIS.PT

 These form appendices to the main text

General approach of Deliverable 1

• Chapters on particular types of intervention (using the BESTUFS classification) having:• introductory text (not dependent on location) • followed by various location-specific examples.

• The focus is upon real world experience• i.e. not on modelled predictions

• There is balance between• different regions of the world (even though more information is available

from Europe)• text, maps, photos and diagrams

6 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Generic problems resulting from insufficiently planned urban freight

transport

• Economic impacts• congestion, inefficiency and resource waste

• Environmental impacts• pollutant emissions (including CO2)• use of non-renewable fossil fuel, land and aggregates

• Social impacts• effects of pollutant and noise emissions on public health• injuries and death resulting from traffic accidents

7 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Example of a “specific problem situation”: the Gamarra area in Lima

• Gamarra is the largest urban shopping area in Peru. Occupying 60 ha, there are 10 thousand micro-enterprises working in the area

• 60 thousand people work in Gamarra, and in periods of marketing campaigns there are more than 250,000 visitors

8 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Priority given to urban logistics in policy documents

• General conclusion that, historically, insufficient attention has been given to urban logistics in formal transport planning

• However, there are signs of improvement in various parts of the world

• Examples given of improvement in Deliverable 1 involve London, Paris and Auckland (NZ)

9 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Interventions on loading/unloading

• Generic types of intervention:• On-street loading bays• Time regulations on vehicle loading/unloading• Night deliveries

• Many examples of such measures were found on the ELTIS website (European Local Transport Information Service)• mainly EU but also for other parts of the world• http://www.eltis.org

Example from Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Night delivery in Barcelona, Spain

13 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Integration with comprehensive urban transport and land use

planning

• Generic types of intervention:• Signing• Lorry routes• Urban freight information and maps• Urban consolidation centres• “Last mile” solutions• Vehicle weight and size regulations• Environmental zones• Lorry lanes• Road charging systems• Alternative modes

Example of urban consolidation centre in Santiago, Chile: Abertis

Logistics Park•  Abertis Logistics Park Santiago is the first integrated logistics park in Chile.

• The Park will generate over 5,000 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs.

• The first 20,000 square meter distribution centre is scheduled to open in the first half of 2010. Investment will take place gradually over the next eight to ten years.

16 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Example of urban consolidation centre in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina

Faso, AfricaIn the city of Bobo-Dioulasso, the Central Market is the main redistribution centre for food and manufactured goods, with 15 multipurpose markets and 8 specialised markets.

17 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Example of “last mile” solution from Brazil: Supermarket delivery and

online shoppingThe Pão de Açúcar Group was the first Brazilian supermarket retailer operating on the internet with the release of Pão de Açúcar Delivery in 1993

Examples of alternative modes from Brazil (in small cities)

20 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Business arrangements

Chapter includes

• Definitions of regulation, governance and government

• Generic advice about public-private partnerships (from the START project)

• Specific examples of public-private partnerships and partnership associations

21 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Technology

Chapter includes descriptions of: • The SMARTFREIGHT concept

• Involving use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

• New approaches to vehicle and fuel technology used for urban freight, examples given from• Germany: CNG vehicles• Utrecht (Netherlands): Cargohopper• India and China

22 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Policy packages for urban freight

• A “policy package” is a set of policy interventions which are “planned together”

• Not many examples were found (worldwide) of policy

packages related to urban freight

• Deliverable 1 gives examples of policy packages from:• London• Paris• São Paulo, Brazil• Masdar City, Abu Dhabi

23 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Example from São Paulo, Brazil

The policy package described for São Paulo in Deliverable 1 includes the following measures:

• Routes with restrictions to truck traffic• Zones with restricted hours to truck traffic• Night delivery stimulus• Encouragement of smaller vehicles

• Smallest tucks are released from zonal restrictions

• Rotation of trucks based upon the final digit of their number plates• Motofrete regulation

• delivery and collection of small loads by motorcycles

Data collection

Chapter provides information on:• generic issues concerned with urban freight data collection (taken

from the Green Logistics project)•  methodologies and approaches in freight data collection• urban freight transport indicators • summary of urban freight data collection in the various world

regions being considered

General conclusions are that:• (not surprisingly) wealthier countries invest more resources in

data collection for urban freight planning• but in most places more resources should be invested

27 | 28Paul Timms | ITS, University of Leeds | Lima, Peru | 19.10.2010

Next steps

The review reported in Deliverable 1 is now being used to:

• Provide a clear framework for the activities to be carried out in the remainder of the TURBLOG_WW project.

• Provide initial thinking about transferability concepts, to be developed further in the project
