Barriers to the Adoption of an Urban Logistics Collaboration Process: A Case Study of the Saint‐Etienne Urban Consolidation Centre

Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration in Urban Transport: State-of-the-Art and Research Opportunities

“…However, the current trend shows that the traditional functions of private and public stakeholders are less and less separated and some interventions are nowadays made by both actors. Thus, it seems difficult to adapt the Stakeholder theory to a global urban transport perspective, which is not only a commercial matter but mixes various stakeholders with different aims and goals, not all of them of commercial nature (Nimtrakool et al 2018), and for which spatial issues are crucial (Gonzalez-Feliu 2018). For those reasons, we propose here to use a functional classification of urban stakeholders related to the different land uses, by extending that of urban freight transport proposed by Gonzalez-Feliu (2018).…”

“…-one the most difficult issues refers to users' (and citizens') perception and acceptance of urban logistics systems and, more precisely, of UCCs (Gonzalez-Feliu, Morana 2011;Nimtrakool et al 2018;. Paddeu et al (2018) complete the recent research of Nimtrakool et al (2018), focused on barriers of innovation, by introducing a multi-stakeholder dimension and a survey-based analysis; the aim is exploring the main drivers and barriers to the implementation of UCCs on a collaborative basis (and then involving different stakeholders).…”

Results confirm those of previous two researches and show that the barriers to the implementation of UCCs have been little studied but a body of research is starting to set the guidelines to explore that field; -another important issue related to UCCs deployment is related to impact assessment, since it is important to examine the potential impacts of UCCs, in an exante perspective, to feed the discussion about the potential deployment of those UCCs.…”

“…A few of the papers deal with the estimation of those impacts. Although some works deal with estimation (Muñuzuri et al 2018;Gonzalez-Feliu, Morana 2010;Vaghi, Percoco 2011;Andriankaja et al 2015), most of them are based on ex-post evaluations, and are mainly environment-based (only Muñuzuri et al (2018) and, more recently, Faure et al (2016) and Nimtrakool et al (2018) address explicitly monetary issues). Estrada et al (2018) introduce a modelling approach to estimate the costs and impacts of various scenarios, including a UCC, night deliveries with current delivery schemes and a combination of both, showing which is the contribution of each solution (UCCs and night deliveries) and their respective cost.…”

An Effects Analysis of Logistics Collaboration: The Case of Pharmaceutical Supplies in Seoul

“…The collaboration agreement should be made while guaranteeing the companies autonomy and their enterprise philosophy. Nimtrakool, Gonzalez-Feliu [55] emphasize financial aspects as a primary barrier for logistics collaboration. For the cooperative logistics project, it is difficult to assure viable level of demand and profitability from the collaboration implementation since large companies with enough freight volume might not want to join to collaboration especially for the UCC.…”
