URBANWISE: efficient urban deliveries by means of an IT platform

Large quantity of goods and services need to be available in urban areas, where numerous people get together.
Urban freight transport, for commercial and domestic purposes, account for 20-30% of total traffic volume. All
people involved (authorities, companies, residents….) face challenging problems which at its best can be seen as
symptoms of a vibrant city: traffic congestion, negative environmental impact and high energy consumption. Up
to 40% of the total logistics costs can be attributed to the last mile of goods transport. It is high time to
implement smart solutions… like the IT-platform URBANWISE. In this paper we focus on one of the modules,
URBANWISE Construction.
