Intra-agent heterogeneity in urban freight distribution: the case of own-account operators Urban freight distribution policies aim to improve the efficiency of deliveries of goods in cities. Local policy makers intervene on rooted, complex and pre-existent relationships. Various are the agents, both collaborating and competing, involved in providing and buying freight distribution services. Retailers, transport providers and [...]
Logistics managers’ stated preferences for freight service attributes: a comparative research method analysis This chapter reviews a set of articles, based on stated preferences techniques, focusing on logistics managers' preferences for freight transport attributes with the intent of assessing the quality of knowledge applied esearch has produced, its reliability and transferability. The review performed indicates that [...]
Urban freight transport policy changes: improving decision makers’ awareness via an agent-specific approach This paper derives policy implications from agent-specific data with respect to the implementation of policy changes in the case of urban freight transport. In particular, the research, based on the case of Rome's Limited Traffic Zone, discusses alternative policy scenarios. After describing attribute [...]
Behavioral modeling in urban freight transport Decision makers in urban goods movement (UGM) typically need to assess the impact new policy interventions might have on freight distribution. The effects of policy changes are inextricably related with the extant regulatory framework that also influences the relationships among the various actors interacting along the supply chain. The [...]
De Gustibus Disputandum Est: Non-Linearity in Public Transportation Service Quality Evaluation User perceptions of service quality are essential to promote public transport ridership and trigger positive externalities. Therefore, research efforts need to analyze service quality from the point of view of users. This article builds on the stream of works studying perceptions of public transport service [...]
