Langkawi, Malaysia, July 2007 in Crete, Greece, June 2009 in Puerto Vallarta,
Mexico, June 2011 in Mallorca, Spain, June 2013 in Bali, Indonesia, June 2015 in
Tenerife, Spain, June 2017 in Phuket, Thailand, June 2019 in Dubrovnik, Croatia,

Urban freight transport has become an important issue in urban planning.
There are many challenges and problems relating to increasing levels of traffic
congestion, environmental impacts and energy conservation. In addition,
freight carriers are expected to provide higher levels of service with lower costs.
To address these complicated and difficult problems, numerous city logistics
schemes have been proposed and implemented in several cities, including:
cooperative freight transport systems, urban consolidation centre, advanced
information systems, public freight terminals, the regulation of load factors,
and off-hour delivery. City logistics schemes are relatively new concepts that are
aimed at increasing the efficiency of urban freight transport systems as well as
reducing traffic congestion and impacts on the environment. However, new
visions, technologies, and policy measures need to be developed and studied
before city logistics schemes can be effectively deployed. Moreover, any risks
due to natural and manmade disasters should be incorporated in city logistics
schemes.
Objectives
This conference aims to provide an opportunity to exchange knowledge,
experience and perspectives on city logistics and urban freight transport.
Recent developments in creating visions, technologies and policy measures
that facilitate the deployment of various city logistics schemes will be
discussed. Since city logistics schemes have already been implemented in
several cities, a review of the performance of these schemes will also be
presented. Also, an overview of the development and application of several
mathematical models and effects of e-commerce on urban freight transport
will be given. The conference also provides an opportunity to discuss future
initiatives of the Institute for City Logistics that are aimed at promoting
international research collaboration and information exchange.
