Abstract

This research explored the extent to which urban freight policies and measures/interventions, can be determined via the city logistics typologies and objectives studies developed from past work, comprehensively reviewing almost all European city logistics cases from the 1970s to the current day. Using EU, national, local and private sources, we collected over 260 cases from 60+ projects involving 121 cities. We reviewed urban freight typologies, based on land use, type of transport policies/measures, urban freight markets and traffic flows, city logistics problem/objectives, and other attributes, integrating cases with typologies, and validating our analysis through a panel of city logistics experts. This has created a new, comprehensive inventory that is modular and extensible. From this, and literature review, we have developed a novel, multi-dimensional, poly parametric typology for city logistics, that has multiple uses in analysing and selecting interventions.
