Abstract
The largest cities in Brazil are experiencing a crisis in their urban mobility model. It increases the complexity of the urban distribution process, which requires a considerable effort in decisions such as vehicular choice for urban freight transport. Some attributes might influence the commercial vehicle choice by the decision makers, and they may be related to aspects of the vehicle, the cargo, the delivery area, the freight vehicle restrictions and the requirements from the operation. Recognising this challenge, the key attributes that influence the urban freight vehicle choice were identified through a systematic literature review and their adherence to the Brazilian reality was evaluated through a survey. Also, a stated preference survey was carried out to measure the relationship between decisions on the choice of commercial vehicular mode and the main attributes in this process. The results could support urban transport planners in the development of effective public policies.
期刊介绍:
There is an increasing demand for transportation solutions that are responsive, safe, sustainable, smart and cost-efficient. This has resulted in increased emphasis on responsive intermodal transportation systems. WRITR provides an international forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development in all areas related to intermodal transportation. Research disseminated via WRITR has significant impact on both theory and practice, and is of value to academics, practitioners and policy makers in this field. Topics covered include: -International trade and transportation -Infrastructure, network design and optimisation -Design, planning and control of transportation systems -Intermodal, intelligent and sustainable transportation solutions -Transportation modes (air, rail, road, sea, pipe) -Transportation cost/benefit analysis -Railroad, terminal and port development -Port/terminal operations and management -Warehousing and inventory management -Transportation regulations, standards and security -Environmental impact, liability and insurance -Risk analysis and management -Information technology and decision support systems -Strategic alliances and relationship management -Government involvement and incentives
