DECARBOMILE project: call for UBC practices regarding urban logistic modelling tools

Hereby we would like to inform you that within the DECARBOMILE project we are currently looking for any practice from the UBC member cities regarding urban logistic modelling tools comparable to SILOGUE in France for example.

DECARBOMILE project is focused on green last-mile logistics for urban goods distribution and it gathers 31 partners from 10 different countries. The aim is to develop improved delivery methods, tools and methodologies, and implement and test them across Europe to lower carbonization of last mile logistics activities. Delivery methods such as (micro) urban consolidation centers, the use of cargo bikes or waterways and electric barges for transport will be integrated with a collaborative urban consolidation logistics framework including ICT and IoT tools.

SILOGUE as urban logistics modeling tool aims to analyse key indicators such as: the number of economic actors and their classification, population in a certain area, number of deliveries and logistics flows generated by these economic activities and households, number and types of vehicles used for freight transport, delivery areas, type of products transported, related GHG emissions, etc. Based on this data, the tool can provide simulations of the current situation and scenarios for the future.

Support this effort by letting us know if you are aware of such an urban logistics modeling tool in your city, or elsewhere, on which you could share more information. Please respond directly to Manon Levrey, DECARBOMILE project coordinator on email mlevrey@interface-transport.com, by March 1st, 2023.
