i-Mobility Network webinar on city Logistics, Thursday 15 September

Posted Thu, 09/08/2011 - 17:57 by admin

The new i-Mobility Network webinar autumn timetable kicks off with a webinar on new concepts for sustainable city logistics, on Thursday 15 September at 10.00 CET.  

Recently urban freight transport has become an important social issue in terms of the increasing level of traffic congestion, negative impacts on the environment, traffic safety and accidents as well energy consumption. The situation is getting worse due to currents trends in supply chain organisation (e.g. just in time delivery, fragmentation of loads) which have led to an exponential increase in the number of freight emissions, especially for small parcels that are often carried by empty transport vehicles.

The webinar will explain new concepts for sustainable city logistics, taking advantage of the state of the art ITS technologies and new vehicles solutions. The first part will focus on the problems facing cities today in terms of increasing level of traffic congestion, negative impacts on the environment, traffic safety issues as well energy consumption.

The second and third part of the webinar will examine the latest telematic solutions (in the framework of CityLog project) and the vehicle solutions (in the framework of CityMove project).

Speakers

  • Sylvain Haon, POLIS
  • Saverio Zuccotti, CRF
  • Marco Aimo Boot, IVECO

Each presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. The webinar will be followed up with a short summary of questions, discussions and conclusions.
