Cities around the globe face major last mile delivery (LMD) challenges as a result of surging online commerce activity, increased parcel delivery demands, lack of parking capacity, and severe traffic congestion particularly in inner city areas. Although a number of innovative solutions and...

Purpose: Goods flows in cities increase due to urbanization and growing e-commerce. Deliveries become more fragmented and more difficult to consolidate and control. This leads to an ever-increasing strain on urban infrastructure and logistics systems. With our work, we aim to design a...

Purpose: Inner-city freight transports are characterized by numerous deficits, such as congested infrastructure and increasing emission and noise levels. Sustainable urban logistics is a field with many concepts to improve the efficiency and sustainability of these transports. However,...

Purpose: The importance of urban logistics is on the rise. On the one hand, the population in cities is growing due to urbanization processes. On the other hand, there is a significant increase in the flow of goods (e.g., a boost in online purchases). Such changes are leading cities to face...

Urban logistics are fundamental to city life. However, freight transport is responsible for around half of local air pollutants in cities and generates congestion and other emissions. Moreover, urban logistics involves more than just e-commerce. Recent trends in goods distribution, reverse...

COVID-19 has brought about a substantial change in urban mobility, as well as an unprecedented increase in e-commerce throughout the world due to the emergence of new ways of shopping and consumption habits. In this context, urban logistics plays a crucial role in the triple bottom line of...

New app-based mobility services have transformed urban passenger transport and goods delivery services. As elsewhere, they have boomed in Southeast Asia, where they have gone largely unregulated. This report investigates regulatory approaches to balance consumer and societal welfare. It looks at...

Das Anliegen der Studie ist es, belastbare Expertenprognosen über aussichtsreiche Logistiklösungen bereitzustellen, welche den Zielen einer nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung Rechnung tragen. Diese sind untersetzt durch Befunde über handlungsbezogene, regulatorische und planerische Bedingungen...

Introduction to the research on urban logistics and its implementation -- Theoretical fundamentals for the implementation of urban logistics systems -- Research approach to the implementation of urban logistics systems -- Findings on the implementation of urban logistics systems -- Conclusion.

This report explores ways of making deliveries in cities less disruptive and more sustainable. How goods are distributed in urban environments profoundly affects metropolitan life. Urban freight flows impact cities’ economic vitality, their environmental footprint, the safety and efficiency of...

This volume contains research contributions by an international group of authors addressing innovative and technology-based approaches for logistics and sustainability. They present simulation studies, systems and models for optimizations and digitalized solutions with a focus on maritime as...

Ein Drittel des städtischen Verkehrs ist Wirtschaftsverkehr, d.h. Güterverkehr sowie Dienstleistungs- und Geschäftsfahrten. Aktuelle Trends der Arbeitsteilung, des Online-Handels und Kundenansprüche wie schnelle Lieferzeiten oder kleinere Zeitfenster führen zu kleineren Sendungsgrößen...

Das Buch bietet ein umfassendes Framework für die Berücksichtigung von Nachhaltigkeit in der Logistik. Nachhaltige Logistik umfasst Green Logistics und City-Logistik und bedeutet die Ausrichtung der Logistikfunktionen Transport, Lagerung und Verpackung an den Zielen der Nachhaltigkeit. Green...

This book aims to investigate a long-term strategy for sustainable urban logistics. The literature evidence exhibits that considerable research on urban logistics lacks long-term planning and rarely considers the urban spatial development and integration of urban distribution innovations....
