“…However, some cities include cargo mobility in these plans [26]. In general, the freight vehicle restriction is the main freight policy proposed by local authorities [26], ranked 11th in our analysis, in contrast to retailers' perceptions on the freight vehicle restriction [10], i.e., some agree and some disagree about the efficacy of this freight policy. With the results presented in this paper, freight vehicle restriction is not a freight solution that should be considered by local authorities to improve cargo mobility.…”

“…Loading/unloading areas are the second-ranked measure preference. However, this measure is reported to be a challenge to urban freight transport in the literature [10,42,79]. In Brazil, federal law establishes the loading/unloading areas as the infrastructure in urban mobility [10].…”

The aim of this paper is to analyze the perceptions of the transport service providers on the barriers in urban freight transport and the restrictions imposed on freight vehicles, identifying which urban freight transport policies can improve this activity in Brazil. Principal component analysis allowed us to identify which are barriers in urban cargo transport and the restrictions imposed on freight vehicles. In addition, we evaluated freight policies that can improve the activity using probabilistic preference. We obtained the database from a web-based survey of transport service providers in Brazil. The results indicate that the urban freight vehicle restriction is related to congestion and availability of loading and unloading areas. The freight vehicle restriction is a result of the lack of information and data. The theft of cargo significantly impacts urban freight transport. Transport service provider company perceptions indicate an urban mobility plan as the most-required freight policy to improve freight mobility. To reduce the barriers to urban freight planning, an understanding of the problem involving the stakeholders is needed. To do so, the challenge is to change the culture in the transportation planning process by integrating various actors to create an urban logistics plan that generates opportunities for the city.

“…Modelling the behavior, the objectives, and thus the collaboration of stakeholders has become important for planning several city logistics activities [21][22][23] and achieving city logistics solutions [9,[16][17][18]. This implies that stakeholder collaboration can contribute to sustainable growth of a city, appropriate development of urban resources, and development of low-impact urban planning and transportation systems [24,25].…”

The main purpose of the paper is to explore the importance of stakeholders’ interaction in the different stages of the implementation process of city logistics initiatives and to assess the extent to which interaction may vary between two apparently similar initiatives. A comparative, longitudinal study, with data from two Swedish city logistics initiatives is conducted. The findings highlight the multiple stakeholders’ interaction and suggest that various degrees of such interaction can be beneficial for sustainable city logistics initiatives. The study demonstrates that although the interactions can be considered broadly similar, there are differences that have an impact on the implementation and development of such initiatives over time. It also highlights the relevance of integrating initiatives with existing networks to provide longer-term viability in the implementation process.

“…Studies regarding UFT in Brazilian cities indicate that there is no problem and solution common to all cities (Oliveira et al, 2018b). Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the reality of each city so that it is possible to arrive at solutions that minimize the externalities of the urban transport of loads (Oliveira et al, 2018a).…”

The urbanization process, especially the diverse aspects regarding size, function, position and growth of cities, significantly affect the Urban Freight Transport (UFT). This paper deals with behaviour of UFT in medium-sized cities. Here we will identify the attributes that characterize the Medium-sized Cities (MC), as well as the influence factors in UFT. In addition, a survey among specialists and public agents of medium-sized cities is presented, about the level of interaction between attributes that characterize MC and the factors that influence UFT. For analysis and validation of the opinion survey is performed non-parametric statistical test, and an analysis of the confidence interval to define the level of interaction between attributes and UFT factors. As a result, we provide a framework that demonstrates the interaction between attributes of MC and the factors that influence UFT. The factors “Projects and measures of local authorities”, and “Infrastructure available to the UFT”, together with the lack of studies related to freight transport (knowledge, innovation and technological advancement) were identified as the main issues that require attention on UFT in MC. This proposal may contribute to the decision makers regarding urban planning and brings a theoretical contribution to future research in UFT planning studies.
