Antonio ComiAround the world, interest in urban and metropolitan goods movements is increasing since they account for a substantial share of traffic in urban/metropolitan areas. In this context, many city administrators have implemented measures to mitigate the negative effects of freight transport. Starting from an analysis of existing studies relative to freight policies implemented at urban scale, this paper proposes a general classification of measures adopted at an urban scale and an empirical analysis of obtainable results

Antonio ComiThe paper, within the field of city logistics sustainability, recalls the overview of measures to be implemented, in a “what if” framework, with strong references to the ex-post assessment of environmental impacts. It provides a tool for supporting the definition of city logistics scenarios that should have to be evaluated ex-ante by simulation models. The analysis is done in relation to the goals of environmental sustainability to be pursued and the main characteristics of cities (e.g. population). The environmental sustainability in terms of carbon dioxide is deepened. In fact, the carbon dioxide can be considered a proxy variable of air pollution emission

Francesco RussoAntonio ComiAround the world, interest in urban and metropolitan goods movements is increasing because they account for a substantial share of traffic in urban and metropolitan areas. In this context, many city administrators have implemented measures to mitigate the negative effects of freight transportation. Starting from an analysis of existing studies relative to freight policies implemented at the urban scale in Europe, this paper proposes a general classification of measures adopted at the urban scale and an analysis of expected goals and tested results. Each described measure is analyzed by considering the temporal reference scale (strategic, tactical, and operative) of the actors and decision makers involved. Each measure pursues and is linked to one or more expected goal, and the empirical results obtained in the European cities and demonstrated by specific indicators representing the goal are presented.
Journal Article
Francesco RussoAntonio ComiThis paper reviews the ex-post assessment of city logistics measures implemented in some European cities and, in a “what if” framework, proposes an analysis of tested environmental effects which may be useful in defining city logistics scenarios to be evaluated ex ante by simulation models. The analysis is performed in relation to the goals of environmental sustainability to pursue and the main characteristics of the cities in question (i.e., population and density). The paper aims to provide a tool that could be used in an ex-ante assessment methodology to identify a priori which measures (or set of measures) could best work in a specific city with respect to the environmental sustainability goals to pursue. Future scenarios can, thus, be readily defined and subsequently assessed by simulation tools in order to verify whether they meet the planned objectives. Although all measures can produce considerable environmental effects, the study shows that the choice of their implementation should be driven by the type of pollutant to detect.
Journal Article
Francesco RussoAntonio ComiThe paper deals with economic effects due to city logistics implementations. An analysis framework is proposed and the results of a survey, consisting of interviews with experts in city logistics, are presented. The survey was carried out to point out the level of benefits or costs expected by city logistics measure implementation. The results show that city users are expected to receive more benefits from environment-friendly vehicle measures, while transport and logistics operators can averagely obtain considerable benefits from demand management and public–private collaboration solutions.
About Me
Antonio Comi is Full Professor in Transportation at the University of Rome, "Tor Vergata", and a lecturer in Transport System Theory and Freight Transportation and Logistics. He is affiliated to the Department of Enterprise Engineering, “Mario Lucertini”, and is a member of the Board of the Ph.D. Course in Management Engineering at the University of Rome, “Tor Vergata”. His research activity is mainly focused on the development and application of methods and models for the analysis and design of freight and passenger transport systems at urban and extra-urban scale, the development of tools for the evaluation of the transition towards intelligent and green mobility of passengers and freight, and the evaluation of the impacts of the transport system. He collaborates with important international journals in the field as a Specialty Chief Editor and Associate Editor and is a member of the Editorial Board of several international journals. He has published more than 120 indexed articles in the field of transportation and collaborates as a reviewer for several international journals and national and international bodies. His scientific activity has had an impact on the scientific community, presenting an h-index of 27 and over 2200 citations. He has coordinated and collaborated on several national and international research projects in the field of transportation systems engineering that have been admitted to funding on the basis of competitive calls that include a peer review.
