Citylogistik är ett komplext fenomen som innefattar alla resor till, ut ur och inom ett utvalt stadsområde med vägfordon vars uppgift är hämtning eller leverans av varor. Städerna är en stor drivkraft till ett enskilt lands ekonomi och då godstransporter är fundamentala för vår befintliga livsstil är det viktigare än någonsin att godsflödet i städer fungerar för att öka tillgängligheten av produkter och material. Den ökade urbaniseringen i Sverige har ökat efterfrågan på godstransporter inom städerna. Transportaktiviteter leder dock till ökade luftföroreningar, växthusgasutsläpp, buller, visuellt intrång och trafikstockningar som är kostsamt för samhället. I Europa står stadstransporter idag för en fjärdedel av transporternas koldioxidutsläpp och 69% av alla trafikolyckor sker i städer. Transportplanering är en komplicerad uppgift som innefattar många interaktioner mellan olika aktörer. Det finns många olika intressenter längs en försörjningskedja, som alla har olika krav på och uppfattningar av godstransporter. Företag tenderar att bekymra sig mer över hur kunder ska ha tillgång till tjänster och varor snarare än hur varorna ska komma till butiken. Denna studie syftar till att få en fördjupad förståelse för det komplexa logistiksystemet som finns i Skövde för att sedan utforma citylogistik åtgärder som är hållbara och främjar aktörernas intressen. Köpcentrumet Commerce i Skövdes stadskärna erhåller godsleveranser varje dag till över 50 butiker via två lastbryggor som inte har full kapacitet. För att besvara rapportens problemfrågor har mätningar och observationer utförts samt intervjuer och enkätundersökning med de aktörer som berörs inom ramen av detta arbete. Författarna har identifierat en möjlighet att tillgängliggöra kapacitet på en av lastbryggorna genom att bygga en ramp. / City logistics is a complex phenomenon that includes all trips to, out of and within a selected urban area with road vehicles whose task is to collect or deliver goods. The cities are a major driving force for an individual country's economy and, since freight transport is fundamental to our existing lifestyle, it is more important than ever that the flow of goods in cities works to increase the availability of products and materials. The increased urbanization in Sweden has increased the demand for freight transport within the cities. However, transport activities lead to increased air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, visual intrusion and traffic congestion that is costly to society. Today in Europe, urban transport accounts for a quarter of the transport's carbon dioxide emissions and 69% of all traffic accidents occur in cities. Transport planning is a complicated task that involves many interactions between different stakeholders. There are many different stakeholders along a supply chain, all of which have different requirements and perceptions of freight transport. Companies tend to worry more about how customers should have access to services and products rather than how the products should be delivered. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the complex logistics system that exists in Skövde in order to design city logistics initiative that are sustainable and promote the interests of the stakeholders. Commerce, the city mall of Skövde receives deliveries of goods every day to over 50 stores through two loading docks with limited capacity. To answer the report's problem questions, measurements and observations have been carried out, as well as interviews and questionnaires with the actors involved within the framework of this work. The authors have identified an opportunity to make capacity available on one of the loading docks by building a ramp.

The construction industry’s world is very complex, competitive and challenging. That means that everyone who is involved needs to be constantly updated and follow the latest technological trends and ideas to be able to work on a viable project by minimizing the problems.  Nevertheless, there are always different complications that arise mainly because there is not much attention given to logistics and logistics solutions. The purpose of this thesis is to identify the major problems in the Swedish construction industry as well as their corresponding logistics solutions applied by different companies. Moreover, this research will try to investigate how the use of the fairly new concept of Construction Consolidation Centers can improve the situation primarily with the material transportation. The current thesis was conducted by investigating the relevant literature and arranging interviews with a few of the many consultant companies working in the construction industry. The outcomes from both investigations are analyzed and compared showing that there are important differences between the theory (literature review) and the reality (interviews) as some of the main problems in real projects do not appear in the current literature. It is also clearly exposed that Construction Consolidation Centers are a game changer to this kind of projects and such a solution is suggested from both sides, while there is high necessity from the companies to emphasize on the logistics and invest more on their logistics solutions.

As the cities are becoming more crowded, the urban distribution has become a major logistical challenge. Some commonproblems in the inner cities arelimited accessibility and idling. Many of Sweden's municipalities are above the limit values for PM10limit set by the EU.Sundsvall is one of these municipalities and has the vision to create a sustainable city and region. Sundsvall LogistikparkAB is part of an EU project, SMARTSET, which is collaborationbetween several cities in Europe. SMARTSETSundsvall is about to develop a market-based sustainable model for city logistics. Itsobjective has been to compare and assess the potential of two business models forcoordinated goods distribution, with a micro terminal, in to Sundsvall Stenstad,with the current status. To achieve the purpose of the survey is the mapping of the current situation made with the help of interviews with shippers and identification of criteria for a multi-criteria analysis. In the result, the interviews compiled and formed the basis of the data used in the MCA. To get the values of the different criteria, the calculations are made and then the dependency between the different criteria illustrated in the scatter plots. It has been found that business model 1 and 2 is better than the current statusofthe majority of the criteria. The study's main purpose has been fulfilled when the MCA has shown that both the business modelsare profitable for shippers and reduces emissions in Sundsvall. The study has also shown that there are more factors than just the profitability and environmental impacts that affect an imple-mentation of any of these business models. To further develop this survey is required that more shippers interviewed and that the stores specifications are compiled. To get a project with a longer lifethan the contribution period required financing method identified. / I och med att städerna blir allt mer befolkade har stadsdistributionen blivit en stor logistisk utmaning. Några vanliga problem i innerstäderna är begränsad framkomlighet och tomgångskörning. Många av Sveriges kommuner ligger överde gränsvärden för PM10som bestämts av EU. Sundsvall är en av dessa kommuner och har som vision att skapa en hållbar stad och region. Sundsvall Logiskpark AB ingår i ett EU-projekt, SMARTSET, som är ett samarbete mellan flera städer i Europa. SMARTSET Sundsvall handlar om att fram en marknadsmässigt hållbar modell för citylogistik. Undersökningens syfte äratt jämförasamt bedöma potentialen hostvå logistikmodellerför samordnad varudistribution,med en mikroterminal,in till Sundsvalls Stenstadmed nuläget.För att uppnå undersökningens syfte har kartläggning av nuläget gjorts med hjälp av interjuver med speditörer samt identifiering av kriterier för en multikriterieanalys. I resultatet har intervjuerna sammanställts och legat till grund för dedata som har använts i multikriterieanalysen. För att få värden på de olika kriterierna har beräkningar gjorts och sedan har beroendet mellan de olika kriterierna illustrerats i scatter plots. Det har visat sig att logistikmodell1 och 2 är bättre än nuläget på majoriteten av kriterierna.Undersökningens huvudsakliga syfte har uppfyllts då multikriterieanalysen harvisat att båda logistikmodellernaär lönsam för speditörerna samt minskar utsläppen i Sundsvall. Undersökningen har också visat att det är fler faktorer än bara lönsamhet och miljöpåverkan som påverkar en implementation av någon av dessa logistikmodeller.För att vidareutveckla denna undersökning krävs det att fler speditörer intervjuas samt att butikernas kravspecifikation sammanställs. För att få ett projekt med längre livslängd än bidragsperioden behövs finansieringssätt identifieras.

För att skapa levande stadskärnor där människor trivs och vill vistas, behöver godstransporter förse stadskärnornas verksamheter med varor. Dessa urbana godstransporter leder dock till ett flertal negativa effekter för både lönsamheten, människan och planeten. Syftet med denna fallstudie är följaktligen att bidra till skapandet av en mer hållbar citylogistik, där flödet av godstransporter in till, inom samt ut ur Skövdes stadskärna förbättras utifrån både ett intressent- och hållbarhetsperspektiv. Studien undersöker dessutom vilka problem och utmaningar som finns, samt vilka intressekonflikter som kan uppstå vid skapandet av en hållbar citylogistik. I den teoretiska referensramen presenteras innebörden av en hållbar citylogistik samt vilka intressenter och aktörer som är involverade i skapandet av en hållbar citylogistik. De urbana godstransporternas negativa effekter på stadsmiljön redovisas sedan ur ett socialt, ekonomiskt och miljömässigt perspektiv, vilket ligger till grund för de teoretiska förbättringsförslagen. Förbättringsförslagen utgår från att de bör gynna så många intressenter som möjligt för att ses som trovärdiga, samt leda till ett förbättrat flöde av godstransporter in till, inom samt ut ur Skövdes stadskärna. För att studera problematiken i Skövdes stadskärna utifrån olika intressenters perspektiv består den empiriska datainsamlingen av en kombinerad metodansats. Denna datainsamling innehåller således en direkt observation och insamling av kvantitativa data över hur godstransporter rör sig i Skövdes stadskärna, ett flertal intervjuer med både distributörer och godsmottagare, samt en genomförd enkätstudie riktad mot centrumbesökare i Skövdes stadskärna. Varje intressentgrupp har även fått möjligheten att rangordna de urbana godstransporternas negativa effekter utifrån vad de ansåg var mer respektive mindre viktigt vid skapandet av en hållbar citylogistik i Skövde för att bidra till en hållbar stadskärna. Rapportens analys baseras på framtagna förbättringsförslag samt intressentgruppernas syn på en hållbar citylogistik. Detta för att komma fram till hur flödet av godstransporter i Skövdes stadskärna kan förbättras ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv för att gynna flera olika intressenter. Resultatet innehåller således fyra rekommenderade förbättringsförslag som anses vara rimliga att implementera i Skövdes stadskärna inom en uppskattad tidshorisont. / In order to create an attractive urban centre where people thrive, freight transport needs to provide the urban centre businesses with deliveries. However, these urban freight transports have several negative effects on profitability, people and the planet. The aim of this case study is therefore to create a more sustainable city logistics, where the flow of freight transports into, within and out of Skövde's urban centre will be improved from both a stakeholder and sustainability perspective. The study also considers the existing problems and challenges, and what conflicts of interest can arise, in the creation of a sustainable city logistics. The theoretical framework presents the content of a sustainable city logistics and which stakeholders and actors are involved in the creation of a sustainable city logistics. Later the negative impacts of urban freight transport are described from a social, economic and environmental perspective, which forms the basis for the theoretical improvement proposals. The proposals for improvement should benefit as many stakeholders as possible in order to be credible, and improve the flow of freight transport into, within and out of Skövde's urban centre. In order to study the problems in Skövde's urban centre from the perspective of different stakeholders, the empirical data collection consists of a combined research methodology. The data collection contains a direct observation and quantitative data considering the movement of freight transport in Skövde's urban centre. Furthermore, the study contains surveys and interviews with distributors and receivers in Skövde's urban centre. Each stakeholder has also been given the opportunity to rank which negative impacts of urban freight transport they considered to be more or less important in the creation of a sustainable city logistics in Skövde. The analysis is based on both proposals for improvement and the stakeholders' perspective on sustainable city logistics to find out how the flow of freight transport in Skövde's urban centre can be improved from a sustainability perspective in order to benefit several stakeholders. The result contains four recommended improvement proposals that are considered reasonable to implement in Skövde's urban centre within an estimated time horizon.

O trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento e a aplicação de um modelo de localização de centros intermediários de consolidação e redistribuição de cargas em um ambiente urbano brasileiro. O método integra o TransCAD e o OpenSolver e é aplicado à cidade de Curitiba, uma das dez mais populosas do Brasil. O método proposto é caracterizado como um modelo de localização-roteirização baseado em agrupamento e subsequente roteirização, identificado na literatura por cluster-first routesecond; a adoção deste ordenamento permite tratar o problema para o atendimento de muitos estabelecimentos, como os até 65 mil em alguns dos cenários no estudo de caso de Curitiba. Cada agrupamento representa os pontos a serem visitados em uma única viagem e o processo inicial tenta minimizar as distâncias entre os estabelecimentos de cada grupo; na fase seguinte o melhor roteiro é computado para cada grupo; a terceira etapa consiste em calcular, para cada grupo e candidato, a distância total percorrida na viagem; por fim, a implantação ou não dos candidatos a centros de distribuição é obtida com a minimização em um modelo de programação linear inteira dos custos de aquisição e de operação dos centros de distribuição e dos custos de transportes. A dissertação também aborda a crescente percepção da importância da logística urbana à qualidade de vida nas cidades onde o adensamento populacional acirra a disputa pelo espaço viário e o conceito de City Logistics, que delineia entre outras medidas o ambiente cooperativo no qual implantação de centros de distribuição urbanos deve ocorrer. / This work presents the development and application of a model for the location of intermediary consolidation and redistribution freight centers in Brazilian cities. The method integrates TransCad and OpenSolver, and its use was evaluated with data from the City of Curitiba one of the ten largest in Brazil. The proposed method is characterized as a location-routing model based on clustering and subsequent tour building known as cluster-first route-second. This enables dealing with problem instances containing as many as 65 thousand customers. Each cluster comprehends the points visited on a single trip and the initial process minimizes the distances between customers; the routes are calculated in the next phase and the third step consists in computing the total distance covered in each trip for every cluster and every candidate; finally, the implementation of each distribution center candidate is decided by minimizing the costs of acquisition, operation and distribution, using an integer linear programming model. The dissertation also highlights the growing realization of the importance of urban freight transport to quality of life, especially in cities where increasing population density intensifies the competition for road space, and City Logistics concepts, that outline among other measures the cooperative environment where implementation of urban distribution centers should occur.

O presente trabalho a partir da caracterização da problemática dos transportes na área central de Uberlândia (MG), e com a utilização das ferramentas do software TransCAD (SIG-T), como problema de localização de instalações e roteirização de veículos, buscou-se propor uma alternativa que contribuísse para a distribuição urbana de cargas, principalmente nas áreas centrais urbanas, com foco na minimização dos custos de transporte e considerando a realidade brasileira e as atuais discussões sobre alternativas de inovações operacionais e tecnológicas. O método escolhido para o estudo de caso baseou-se nos dados georeferenciados da rede viária urbana e de movimentação de cargas na área central da cidade, de forma a orientar estratégias modernas e mais eficazes para distribuição física de produtos e proporcionar melhores condições no fluxo nestas áreas. O método ainda apoiou-se na definição e caracterização do conceito de logística urbana e de terminais logísticos, e a influência que exerceriam na distribuição urbana de cargas, principalmente nas áreas centrais, da cidade de Uberlândia. O software mostrou-se uma ferramenta de apoio a decisões no planejamento urbano. Pode-se validar o uso do software TransCAD na busca por soluções ótimas para os terminais logísticos e na roteirização dos veículos que compõem a frota dos terminais, assim, acredita-se que é uma ferramenta para operações logísticas. Mesmo com algumas limitações do software, este contribui para que chegássemos aos resultados finais alcançando os objetivos iniciais propostos. / The present work starting from the characterization of transport problem in the Uberlândia (MG) central area , and with the use of tools of the software TransCAD (SIG-T), as facility location problem and vehicle routing, it was looked for to propose an alternative to contribute to the urban goods distribution, mainly in the urban central areas, with focus in the minimization of the transport costs and considering the brazilian reality and the current discussions on alternatives of operational and technological innovations. The chosen method for the study of case based on the data of the urban road net and goods movement in the central area of the city, in way to guide modern and more effective strategies for physical products distribution and to provide better conditions in the flow in these areas. The method still leaned on in the definition and characterization of the concept of logistics urban and logistics terminals, and the influence that they would exercise in the urban goods distribution, mainly in the central areas, of the Uberlândia city. The software was shown a support tool to decisions in the urban planning. The use of the software TransCAD can be validated in the search by great solutions for the logistics terminals and in the vehicle routing that compose the fleet of the terminals, like this, it is believed that is a tool for logistics operations. Even with some limitations of the software, this contributes so that we arrived to the final results reaching the objectives initials proposed.

La distribution de marchandises est un secteur en constant développement et constitue un facteur économique important. Par contre, dans les villes, il contribue notamment aux problèmes de congestion, pollution, bruit et d'autres dérangements à la population des villes. Pour faire face à ces problèmes, une nouvelle discipline est née à la fin du XXe siècle, la " City Logistics ", qui a comme objectifs principaux la réduction de la congestion, la pollution et le bruit occasionné par le transport de marchandises en ville. Dans les dernières années, plusieurs études et expériences se sont développées en toute l'Europe, mais pour l'instant une politique commune en matière de logistique urbaine n'a pas encore été proposée par l'Union Européenne. En Italie, seulement certaines villes de petite taille ont expérimenté des politiques de " city logistics " avec succès, mais sans un lien entre elles. Nous observons que ces expériences utilisent des centres urbains de distribution de marchandises, ce qui peut se traduire en un système de transport à deux ou plus niveaux. Plusieurs études en recherche opérationnelle ont traité des problématiques liées à des systèmes à niveaux multiples pour la distribution de marchandise. Néanmoins, l'optimisation des coûts de transport est en générale réalisé en considérant chaque niveau indépendant des autres, ou en approximant les coûts du transport dans certains niveaux pour simplifier. Un autre problème est le manque d'une unification de la terminologie utilisée dans ces études, qui difficulte la recherche bibliographique. Le but de cette recherche est, d'un coté, proposer des lignes guide d'accion en matière de planification de la distribution urbaine de marchandises, en unifiant certains termes, et d'un autre coté présenter une famille de problèmes d'optimisation de routes des véhicules qui considère les systèmes à niveaux multiples dans son ensemble et pas comme une somme de systèmes indépendants. Dans un premier temps, nous présentons les principales expériences de " city logistics " en Italie, ainsi que des lignes d'action dans la planification des systèmes de distribution urbaine des marchandises qui puissent devenir opérationnels et efficients. Ensuite nous présentons les principales problématiques et limites de l'optimisation de systèmes de transports à niveaux multiples, en unifiant les concepts et la notation. Nous proposons une nouvelle famille de problèmes d'optimisation de routes de véhicules pour des systèmes à niveaux multiples, en détaillant le cas basique : le problème de routes de véhicules à deux niveaux. Nous proposons des modèles mathématiques pour ce problème et des résultats numériques pour illustrer les avantages et les limites de la modélisation de ces systèmes.

Optimizing city logistics is a topic of great importance for big cities today. Even though the environmental- and economical consequences of the increasing goods transportation fleet has been present for quite some time, actions from affected stakeholders has not been taken until just recently.  In this brief 9 week project the aim has been to,  from a design point-of-view, in this complex topic, give a suggestion and raise a discussion onto how goods transportation in cities can be made in the future.  The basic idea is to get the consignments as close to the consignees and their travel patterns as possible. Public transportation networks are an existing grid where people are moving around and can potentially be used for combined transport of goods and people. The outcome of this concept is focusing on light parcel delivery towards private consignees, due to the increasing e-commerce trend. By using small transporter vehicles connected to buses, light parcels can be distributed throughout a city and easily accessible for consignees at the bus stops.  The transporter vehicle developed through this project aims to conceptualize connectivity and integration between mobility and parcel delivery services, to ease the every day life of urban citizens as well as decrease the environmental- and economical impacts which the distribution vehicle-fleet of today entails.  The design of the transporter vehicle is an interpretation of how a autonomous distribution vehicle can look like in a future city environment where the integration of public-utility-vehicles is of greater importance.
