Abstract

Delivery area schemes are constructed in a phased manner to answer local problems without knowing the consequences at the global level in the city. An unsuited or poorly distributed scheme rapidly decreases the efficiency of deliveries in the city. If the number of areas is not enough to match the demand in deliveries, the amount of illegal parking to deliver the goods increases, which slows down the flow of vehicles. But a scheme with too many delivery areas causes unused public space. To achieve a balance, the transport authorities need tools to diagnose according to a holistic view of the logistical problems in urban areas. In Urban Freight Transport (UFT), two French tools have been developed to improve knowledge in this field with their own drawbacks. In mixing the two, we create a synergy and an efficiency of use. Finally, to illustrate our work, we propose to implement the combined tool in La Rochelle.
