1. What is City Logistics?

City logistics is the process for totally optimisingthe logisticstransport activities by private companies with the support oadvanced information systems in urban areas considering thenvironment, its congestion, safety and energy savings withframework of a market economy

(Taniguchi, Thompson, Yamada and Van Duin, City logistics-Nemodelling and Intelligent Transport Systems , Pargamon, 2001

Smart solution by city logistics

Increasing concern about the economic activation and negaenvironmental impacts, traffic congestion, safety and securito urban freight transport

City logistics play an important roll for balancing the economof cities and social and environmental issues

Because city logistics provides the basic frameworkfor sociaactivities of people and economic activities of companies

To create mobile, sustainable and liveable cities, appropriatefreight transport management is required

Approaches to urban freight transport managemApproach Example

(1) InfrastructureDevelopment of bypasses/ring roads, urban distribut

centers, loading facilities

(2) Regulatory

Introduction of fuel taxes, road user charge, dedicat

Impose vehicle restrictionsIntroduce congestion charging

(3) LogisticalUse of small delivery vehicles

Improved terminal operations

Improve driver competencies

(4) Co-operativeForm freight partnerships

load sharing systems (increase load factors)

Joint delivering

(5) TechnologyUse of electric delivery vehicles

Use of GPS and FTMS

Implement a vehicle parking reservation system

(6) BehavioralImplement anti idling messages

Improve social acceptance of urban freight activities

Use of recommended truck routes

Purposes of joint delivery systems (JDS)

Increase efficiencyof urban goods distribution by consolidaof competitive carriers as well as reducing the negative enviimpacts, alleviating congestion, improving safety and securitconditions

Outline

1) Started in 2004

- Pilot project (1999-2001) with

financial support by municipality- Preparation for sustainable operatio

of co-operative freight transport

without subsidies (find neutral carri

urban consolidation centre, and

parking space)


21/37


2) Objectives are reducing CO2emissions

and congestion as well as keeping goo

atmosphere of streets3) No subsidies are given by public

authorities just providing parking spa

on street

4) Around 85% of goods are covered bycooperative freight transport systems

5) Both pickup and delivery are taken by

the system


22/37


6) Whole area of Motomachi is covered

the system (500 shops as well as 850

individual homes)7) Neutral carrier takes part in delivering

and collecting goods

8) Motomachi Shopping Street Associati

financially supports the neutral carriewith 2.4 million yen (17,000 Euro) pe

year which was earned in other

business


23/37


9) Each carrier pays the neutral carrier 1

yen(1.1 Euro) per parcel

10) 1,000-1,200 parcels are treated per d11) Excellent leadership

12) Number of trucks was reduced: 100

Transferability to other areas

Possible to transfer the co-operative freight transport systemother areas

Required conditions

Mind-set of balancing the economic vitality and environment

Core organisation (not necessary public sector)for managing jointsystems

Some amount of goods delivered (over 1,000 parcels per day) Appropriate location of urban consolidation centre nearby the targ

Integrated Internal Logistics System

1)- Improved Customer Service(streamline logistics,better use of elevators)

2)- Safety and Security(no unauthorized personor luggage)

3)- CO2emission reduction

(less congestion on

public roads)

4)- Efficient management of

loading and unloading bay

(no illegal parking/wai

on public roads)

4. Conclusion

City logistics play an important role for creating sustainable

liveable cities

Efficient urban freight transport management is needed to tchallenging issues in urban areas

Joint delivery systems with UCC based on the collaboration stakeholders can alleviate congestion, and reduce illegal parnegative impacts on environment
