“…Freight transport is considered to be a private sector phenomenon on both the supplier and user sides, and it is driven by commercial imperatives. According to Crainic et al (2004), public authorities do not feel overly concerned by the operations of private firms. Consequently, they state that freight transport issues at the city level are still not well understood, not quantified and there is no methodology specifically aimed at the analysis and planning of freight movements.…”

This paper presents a definition of sustainable urban freight transport (SUFT), based on the existing theories and concepts, and develops an indicator set that describes SUFT. The definition of SUFT makes a categorisation of actions possible which enables actors to select effective strategies towards SUFT. The indicator set consists of two levels: impact indicators Á which describe how the urban freight transport violates the principles of sustainability; and performance indicators Á which describe different categories determining the characteristics and performance of the urban transport system. A literature study analyses the characteristics determining the performance of actors in the urban freight transport chain. Knowing the current state and improvement potential of the urban freight transport system are prerequisites for defining successful strategies and implementing effective actions.

“…City freighters are vehicles with a relatively small capacity that can perform distribution activities to locations along narrow and crowed streets in city centres [15]. They are often significantly more environmentally friendly (electric or hydrogen based).…”

High levels of pollution and congestion in urban centres are an increasing concern for local councils in the UK. Heavy goods vehicles delivering urban freight to city centres are a leading cause of this problem. This paper discusses the concept of using light rail networks to deliver freight to city centres from surrounding businesses. Specifically, various innovative designs are considered for the interior of the metro carriage and developed into visual models using Autodesk Inventor software. A full evaluation of all the designs developed is completed, resulting in a proposed design for consideration. The conclusion reached is that the proposed interior design is viable and coincides with the future metro fleet designs and concepts.

“…Konflikti pojedinačnih ciljeva i interesa delimično se mogu rešiti otvorenim dijalogom između učesnika CL. [31] Razumevanje, saradnja i partnerstvo javnog i privatnog sektora su neophodni za održivost rešenja [34], a dugoročna javno-privatna partnerstva mogu imati pozitivne efekte na rezultate obe strane.

“…Od početka veka postalo je jasno da postizanje veće efikasnosti (sa svih aspekata održivosti) u city logistici zahteva od lokalne vlasti da reši pitanje novih organizacionih pristupa, što nije moguće bez javno-privatnog razumevanja, saradnje i partnerstva. [34] Ipak, istraživanja javno-privatnog partnerstva (PPP, eng. Public Private Partnership) u oblasti city logistike su retka.…”

1. UVOD Rast problema realizacije robnih tokova i pritisak javnosti od kraja prošlog veka podstakli su interesovanje za oblast city logistike (CL). Zapravo, porasla je svest i briga o uticaju logističkih aktivnosti na ekonomsku, ekološku i društvenu održivost gradova. Od ovog perioda raste broj istraživanja, formiraju se baze podataka, definišu i testiraju različite inicijative i koncepcijska rešenja.[1] U cilju dobijanja relevantnih podataka i pregleda stanja, od kraja prošlog veka realizovano je nekoliko velikih evropskih i nacionalnih istraživačkih projekata. Svi oni ukazuju da je stanje logistike urbanih sredina prilično kritično i zahteva detaljnu analizu, hitne intervencije i dugoročna reše-nja. Pokrenute su mnoge inicijative kako bi logističke aktivnosti bile manje rutinske, a pritom efikasnije, naročito sa aspekta uticaja na okruženje i kvaliteta pružanja usluga. Međutim, promene su spore i čini se da niko od učesnika city logistike ne želi da napravi brži progres. [2] Logistika treba da bude servis lokalnoj ekonomiji i treba da prati ekonomske promene. Da bi realizacija robnih tokova bila efikasnija i ekološki prihvatljivija, gradovi moraju da uspostave adekvatan sistem planiranja i upravljanja logističkim aktivnostima. Neophodna su istraživanja, procene zahteva, analize problema, uspostavljanje logističkog foruma za sve interesne grupe i formiranje i konstantno ažuriranje baze parametara city logistike. Neke od navedenih aktivnosti generišu relativno male troškove, a mogu doneti velike koristi privrednom sistemu grada i regiona.[3] U razvoju i implementaciji rešenja CL učestvuju različite grupe, sa različitim ciljevima i interesima, na dobrovoljnoj ili obavezujućoj osnovi.[4] Razlog učešća može biti dostizanje održivosti, sticanje profita ili zakonska obaveza. Najveći uticaj na razvoj i implementaciju rešenja ima gradska uprava, a zatim aktivni učesnici logističkih lanaca (pošiljaoci i primaoci robe i provajderi logističkih usluga) [3]. Inicijative, rešenja CL zahtevaju manje ili veće promene ponašanja učesnika sistema, uglavnom bez prethodne analize uticaja. Sa druge strane, učesnici, interesne grupe će podržati rešenja samo ukoliko ne izazivaju negativne posledice ili su one manje od pozitivnih efekata.U cilju prihvatljivosti, uspešne implementacije i održivosti rešenja adekvatnim metodama treba podstaći učešće svih interesnih grupa prilikom njegovog definisanja i sagledati efekte, posledice na celokupan sistem city logistike. Međutim, promene pristupa reša-vanja problema i integrisano planiranje, zahtevaju određeni nivo poznavanja prirode logističkih aktivnosti, što najčešće nije slučaj.  Javni sektor, odnosno lokalne vlasti ne poznaju dovoljno prirodu i probleme realizacije logističkih aktivnosti u gradu, a provajderi logističkih usluga nemaju dovoljno razvijenu svest o potrebi dostizanja održivosti koju forsira lokalna uprava.  Interakcija privatnog i javnog sektora je na izuzetno niskom nivou što uslovljava međusobno nerazumevanje učesnika CL.  Rešenja su predodređena na neuspeh ukoliko inicij...
