Beskrivning

Urban Freight Transportation Management and Planning: Practice and Theory provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of urban freight activity's role in metropolitan economies, its externalities, and public sector initiatives to mitigate negative impacts. This book addresses critical issues in urban freight and offers practical solutions from a practitioner's perspective. The authors deliver key and easily digestible information on topics such as local economies, supply chains, freight activity, and technical procedures for estimating freight generation. Sections offer details on initiatives addressing freight issues, urban freight management, and planning processes, incorporating sustainability and technology to present a contemporary view of the field.

Chapters systematically and pedagogically provide key and easy-to-digest information on a range of topics, including local economies and the role of supply chains and freight activity; technical procedures to estimate freight generation and freight trip generation; technical details about the wide range of initiatives that could address freight issues; and effective urban freight management and planning process (including both transportation and land-use).

Presents practical solutions and state-of-the-art tools to effectively address the main freight issues of concern
Contains an overview of both short- and long-term existing freight initiatives-projects, programs, and policies-that have been solidly characterized in terms of their expected performance
Uses a multi-disciplinary orientation based on well-grounded, proven theories and methodologies of transportation and traffic engineering, micro-economics, supply chain management, and urban planning

Mer om författaren

Jose Holguin-Veras is William H. Hart Professor and Director of the Center for Infrastructure, Transportation, and the Environment at Rensseelaer Polytechnic Institute, USA. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2013 White House’s Transportation Champion of Change Award, the 1996 Milton Pikarsky Memorial Award, among others. His research interests are in the areas of freight transportation policy, modelling, and economics, and disaster response logistics. His research has led to major changes in transportation policy to improve urban freight systems. He is President of the Pan-American Society of Transportation Research, and Associate Editor of Transportation Research Part A, Transportation Editor of Networks and Spatial Economics, and member of the editorial boards of leading journals. He received his Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin in 1996; a M.Sc. from the Universidad Central de Venezuela in 1984; and a B.Sc. from the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo in 1982. Ivan Sanchez-Diaz is Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, where he is the co-director of the Urban Freight Platform (UFP) funded by VREF. As part of the UFP, Ivan and his research team conduct research on sustainable urban freight and coorganize the VREF Conference on Urban Freight. Ivan is the Committee Research Coordinator of the Standing Committee on Urban Freight Transportation (AT025) from the US Transportation Research Board and is part of the editorial board of ETRR and WRITR journals. His research has been published in the most prestigious transportation journals, and he has been awarded with the best paper award from AT025. Ivan received his B.S. in Civil Engineering with the highest honors from the Universidad del Norte (Colombia); and received his M.Sc. and PhD in Transportation Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (New York). Matthew J. Roorda is Professor of Civil & Mineral Engineering and has been faculty at the University of Toronto since 2005. Dr. Roorda was the Founding Chair of the Smart Freight Centre, a five-university research centre focused on freight research and implementation projects across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Dr. Roorda’s research interests include urban freight transportation, freight planning and operations, freight and passenger travel survey methods, city logistics, agent-based simulation, parking and curbside management, emissions analysis, activity-based travel demand modelling, and firm behaviour. Dr. Roorda has extensive experience in the development of new models of urban systems (freight and passenger), the use of those models for forecasting and analysis, and in supporting data collection initiatives. He completed his BEng and Society at McMaster University, and his MASc and PhD degrees at the University of Toronto.
