Institute for City Logistics
Following the First, Second and Third International Conferences on City Logistics that took place in July 1999 in Cairns, Australia, and in June 2001 in Okinawa, Japan, and in June 2003 in Madeira Island, Portugal, the Fourth International Conference on City Logistics will be held in Langkawi Island, Malaysia on 12th - 14th July 2005.
Urban freight transport has become an important issue in urban planning. There are many challenges and problems relating to increasing levels of traffic congestion, environmental impacts and energy conservation. In addition, freight carriers are expected to provide higher levels of service with lower costs. To address these complicated and difficult problems, numerous City Logistics schemes have been proposed and implemented in several cities, including: cooperative freight transport systems, advanced information systems, public freight terminals and the regulation of load factors. City Logistics schemes are relatively new concepts that are aimed increasing the efficiency of urban freight transport systems as well reducing traffic congestion and impacts on the environment. However, new visions, technology and policy measures are required before City Logistics schemes can be effectively deployed.
This conference aims to provide an opportunity to exchange knowledge, experience and perspectives on City Logistics and urban freight transport. Recent developments in creating visions, technology and policy measures of City Logistics schemes will be discussed. Since City Logistics schemes have already been implemented in several cities, a review of the performance of these schemes will also be presented. As well, an overview of the development and application of several mathematical models and effects of e-commerce on urban freight transport will be given. It is also planned to discuss future initiatives of the Institute for City Logistics that are aimed at promoting international research collaboration and information exchange.
