Abstract

SANZ, GUILLEM; PASTOR, RAFAEL  and  BENEDITO, ERNEST. URBAN FREIGHT TRANSPORT: DESCRIPTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF EXISTING MEASURES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF TWO NOBEL SOLUTIONS. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2013, vol.80, n.179, pp.6-13. ISSN 0012-7353.

In this paper we describe and classify the existing measures for urban freight distribution (DUM) and we propose two new solutions applicable to the DUM. The description of the solutions comes from an extensive review of the literature and the classification from the analysis made by the authors on the existing measures. The new solutions are described and its utility is analyzed by two pilot tests carried on several Eroski and Mercadona Caprabo stores. During pilot testing has become clear that these two solutions can be very useful to the field of DUM.

Keywords : urban freight distribution; urban logistics; freight transport; sustainable transport.
