Hubs for Freight and Passengers?
Exploring the suitability of adding logistics functions to mobility hubs
Conference paper

In the coming years, cities will have to deal with transportation challenges in terms of accessibility and sustainability. Passenger and freight transport are expected to increase, while the transport sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and congestion in cities. Although historically both ecosystems (passenger transport and freight transport) were intertwined, the ecosystems have developed separately from each other over the past century. This research focuses on finding integrated logistics flows and logistics innovations and especially finding the conditions under which these can be added to different types of mobility hubs. By collecting and structuring information from literature and interviews using a requirement analysis, possible logistics additions and associated conditions are mapped into frameworks. The results show that small consumer goods flows have the highest potential to be added to mobility hubs. In addition, the frameworks show that they can be used as a first step in the analysis to investigate which logistics functions and under which conditions these could have potential on a mobility hub. Further research can, preferably quantitatively, examine whether the suggested logistics additions from the framework are applicable in more detailed areas.

Urban freight logistics currently have to deal with multiple unsustainable conditions. Physical Internet (PI) characteristics show promise in making urban freight logistics more sustainable. This paper explores the opportunities and barriers to implementing this concept. Q-methodology is a method used to reveal different stakeholder perspectives. The results of the Q-methodology show four different perspectives out of which three display a positive attitude toward PI characteristics. One perspective is more moderate and states that a lot is possible already without any changes. One of the barriers is that there is no urgency to change. Further, most perspectives have a positive attitude toward regulations as long as they are nationally coordinated. Based on these results, policy recommendations are developed for individual and collaborative actions for stakeholders.
