How to change urban traffic with city logistics

摘要

The urban freight transport presents a great number of problems. The freight carriers are expected to deliver with high quality, just in time, keepign the costs as low as possible out the increasing traffic volume in the cities does not simplify the above mentioned delivery system. City Logistics will help to solve such problems. City Logistics can be defined as an efficient and at the same time environmentally more positive organisation for the freight flow by means of bundling deliveries in cities. The bundling of deliveries has the aim to reduce traffic thanks to a higher vehicle saturation, this diminishing vehicle kilometres. Furthermore, costs can also be reduced.
