Planning for logistics access

At Intertraffic POLIS will present two EU-funded projects that facilitate urban logistics through digital tools and dedicated infrastructure, such as multimodal hubs combining logistics and mobility services. These two projects are:
UNCHAIN, which will present the following digital tools: FELU, a guidebook supporting land use planning for urban freight efficiency and PLIAS, a decision-making tool enabling UVAR impact assessment on the freight performance.

And the second one is MoLo Hubs which focuses on the integration of mobility hubs and logistic services as an effective solution in urban planning and city development for addressing the growing challenges of transportation and carbon emissions in modern cities. Mobility hubs are urban locations where people can access multiple types of transportation. When combined with logistic services, these hubs can enable more effective last-mile delivery solutions, reducing the need for individual vehicle trips and minimising the carbon footprint. The presentation will focus on the Amsterdam pilot project, which has deployed a hub that offers service companies (e.g. technicians) a smart solution to reach clients in busy urban areas, such as the city center, more quickly and cleanly. Technicians can park their vans at the hub and switch to a light electric vehicle - such as an electric city car, scooter, or cargo bike - for the last stretch of their journey. This reduces traffic congestion, saves time, and lowers parking costs.
