Urban freight transport has become an essential issue in urban
planning. There are many challenges and problems relating to
increasing levels of traffic congestion, negative environmental
impacts and energy consumption. To cope with these complicated
problems, new city logistics schemes are required that are aimed at
increasing the efficiency of urban freight transport systems as
well as reducing traffic congestion and impacts on the environment.
Recent developments in ICT (Information and Communication
Technology) and ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) help tackle
these difficult problems. As well, the corporate social
responsibility of shippers and freight carriers promotes
public-private partnerships in urban freight transport planning.
This book, Recent Advances in City Logistics, is an outcome of the
Fourth International Conference on City Logistics (City Logistics
IV held in Langkawi in 2005) organised by the Institute for City
Logistics (www.citylogistics.org). It includes recent developments
in the modelling, evaluation and planning of city logistics
schemes. Since city logistics measures have already been
implemented in several cities, a review of the performance of these
innovative schemes is presented. As well, an overview of the data
collection for modelling, evaluating and benchmarking city
logistics schemes and intermodal freight transport for city
logistics is given. Recent developments and applications of ITS
(Intelligent Transport Systems) in city logistics are covered.
*Outlines developments in modelling, evaluation, and planning of
city logistics schemes
*Reviews performance of existing innovations
*Overview of data collection techniques
