Sammendrag
City logistics, an important function integrated in city daily operations, aims to
support the city’s economic and social growth while eliminates environmental
impacts to the minimum level. Nowadays, urbanization is still furthering its step
fast and cities are becoming bigger in size and population. The limited city logistics
capacities and already congested transportation systems are restraining cities from
sustainable development. A number of problems in the current city logistics are
needed to be identified and addressed.
The aim of this paper is to apply a data-driven methodology with the help of
STATA and ArcGIS to analyse urban freight logistics system of Oslo, in alignment
with “Det Grønne Skiftet” – The Green Shift Strategy, and offer a basic
understanding of city logistics to the policy makers of Oslo. The policy makers can
thus refer to our research result and improve the city logistics in line with the overall
urban paling strategies.
Due to data’s and time’s constraints, we narrow down our research into the
factors that are mostly relevant to commercial urban freight logistics, such as the
population and the grocery stores. Further data can be input into analysis when
different evaluations are expected to achieve.
