A New Perspective on City Logistics: Concepts, Theory, and Models for Designing and Managing Logistics as a Service

Descripción del proyecto

Un nuevo método logístico para la movilidad urbana de mercancías

Las ciudades están experimentando cambios significativos en la movilidad de las mercancías, y ello tiene implicaciones profundas. Sin embargo, el paradigma actual de logística urbana no reconoce la movilidad de las mercancías como una necesidad pública, lo cual obstaculiza nuestra capacidad para abordar estos retos y oportunidades. El equipo del proyecto GoodMobility, financiado con fondos europeos, propone un método centrado en la red denominado «logística sabia» («wise»), que da prioridad al valor público en comparación con el pensamiento actual inteligente («smart») centrado en los negocios y la tecnología. En el proyecto se pretende establecer una red logística con el «hardware» y el «software» necesarios para crear la logística como servicio y sentar las bases de una nueva teoría de la logística urbana. Este cambio de pensamiento podría ayudar a las ciudades a comprender y responder mejor a la naturaleza cambiante de la movilidad de mercancías.

Objetivo

Several social, economic, and technological trends are coming together to revolutionize the way people, products, and services are brought together. Goods are gaining more mobility with drastic implications for cities. The current city logistics (CL) paradigm, which does not consider the mobility of goods a public need, limits our capacity to understand and respond to the challenges and opportunities brought by this profound change. Taking a different perspective, GoodMobility proposes to replace the techno-business-centric smart thinking with network-centric wise logistics that takes the public value as the primary goal and envisions setting up a logistics web with the required infrastructure (hardware) and operating procedures (software) to establish logistics as a service (LaaS). The first objective is to develop public value as a measurement system to assess and guide CL planning and management, which will be achieved with an iterative process, combining multi-criteria decision making, sustainability analysis, simulation, and optimization. The second objective is to develop the principles, models, and tools for LaaS infrastructure design. Novel network optimization methods will be developed for designing the hardware of LaaS to provide orders of magnitude efficiency gains and influence the stakeholder activities to maximize public value. The third objective is to develop a theoretical framework and models for the operating procedures of LaaS, introducing the logistics markets to ensure efficiency and reliability and secure public value in matching logistics demand and supply. Learning-based optimization methods will be developed to manage logistics markets. If successful, GoodMobility will lay the foundations of a new theory of CL with significant scientific and practical implications. The novel ideas, concepts, and methodologies will open up new research perspectives in transport and logistics with far-reaching social, economic, and environmental consequences.
