  1. INFACT project Eric CORNELIS University of Namur (FUNDP) Transportation Research Group (GRT) Davy DECOCK Belgian Road Research Center (CRR- OCW-BRRC) FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  2. INtegrated Freight Analysis within CiTies • Partners • Belgian Road Research Center (Wanda Debauche) [coordinator] • University of Antwerp (Eddy Van de Voorde & Hilde Meersman) • University of Namur – Transportation Research Group (Philippe Toint & Eric Cornelis) • Funded by Belgian Science Policy • Program “Viable Cities” FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  3. Objectives • Better understanding of inner city freight traffic • Reinforcing the understanding of interactions motivated by • Inner city = substantial, often underestimated BUT rather unknown even ignored part of freight transport • Lack of data (especially in Belgium) • Action required FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  4. Inner city freight transport Logistic activities Private freight transport by households FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  5. How ? Studying • Upstream transport • Downstream transport Using retailers as “interface” FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  6. Purposes • Setting up a methodology • Better understanding of freight traffic organisation within cities • Impacts of strategies and policies FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  7. Tasks • Literature review, state of the art • Inventory and consultation of the actors • Survey exploring the freight transport habits of households • Modeling the different types of freight transport organisation in urban areas and Simulating strategies and policies FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  8. Inventory and consultation • Objectives of inventory (freight studies in Brussels) • comparison of used definition for freight transport • comparison of applied methodology • collection of experiences about used methodology • collection of useful information for partners (link with INFACT) FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  9. Inventory and consultation (2) • Methodology: • foreign experiences • consultation of local actors • Port of Brussels • BIAC • AED/BUV (Administration) • Union of Brussels and its communities FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  10. Inventory and consultation (3) FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  11. ! ! Survey Pilot survey • Determination of a collection of relevant indicators • How best to evaluate them • Setting up a suitable and efficient methodology • ? interaction between households’ behaviour and city logistics ? FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  12. Survey (2) • Measuring the relative importance of the various cycles • Analysing the interaction between the locations and accessibility of goods pick-up points • Identifying the interplay between household constraints FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  13. Survey (3) Initially • Different protocols • Location of recruitment (shops, home, …) • Method of contact (mail-back, phone, face to face, …) • Statistical design (RP, SP, …) • Different locations (mall in urban frange, commercial street in city center) FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  14. Survey (4) Practically • One location : commercial streets in Jette • One method : intercept and follow • Questionnaire • Face to face • Auto-administrated • Diary : one week • One day • 250 respondents • Incentive : lottery ticket (“win for life”) FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  15. Questionnaire About displacement to the shop where intercepted • Household/Respondent • Transport mode • Purchase or visit ? • Cumbersome ? • Frequency • Activity chain FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  16. Diary Displacements (especially for shopping) during one week • Origin • Departure time • Mode • Destination • End time • Who ? With whom ? • Type of purchase • Price FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  17. Modeling • Understanding upstream flow • focus on retailers (link with downstream transport) • Methodology: • literature review • interviews with relevant actors • modeling (typologies and scenarios) • sensitivity analysis FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  18. Modeling (2) • Modeling typologies and scenarios • different typologies • direct transport • distribution centre • cross-docking • two types of freight vehicles:7and 24 tons • Modeling in Excell FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23

  19. Modeling (3) • Simulation: Cost model • transport costs • consolidation costs (loading/unloading) • storage costs (valuation of time) • external costs (congestion, pollution and accidents) • analysis based on time- and kilometre costs • kilometre costs: depreciation, interest payments, tyre wear, fuel consumption, maintenance • time costs: depreciation, interest payments, insurance, wage driver, traffic taxes, etc. • evaluation of scenarios FirstWG1 meeting Arcueil, June 23
