| Project title | Stadtlogistik 2030+ |
|---|---|
| Institute | Research Institute for Supply Chain Management |
| Description | The aim of the project is to create an origin-destination-model of freight traffic flows of selected sectors in the City of Vienna. Based on this model certain measures can be evaluated for their suitability with regard to emission reduction, quality of supply/disposal and economic efficiency. Specifically, the shift to low emission / non-emission vehicles, multimodal transport incorporating, for example subways, trams or the Danube canal, as well as the use of consolidation centers is taken into account. |

| Project title | MiHu - Analyse von Kooperationsmöglichkeiten für urbane Midi-Hubs |
|---|---|
| Institute | Research Institute for Supply Chain Management |
| Description | The project is dedicated to the selection of locations as well as the analysis of operations and cooperation opportunities within a cooperative midi-hub. Based on a generic AHP model, an assessment framework for potentially suitable locations for a midi-hub within a city is worked out and tested for Vienna. Area management, layout planning, multi-use options within the midi-hub, and changes in traffic through the midi-hub are explored in a cross-stakeholder approach through the integration of an agent-based simulation and optimization model. Recommendations for cooperative midi-hub are given. |

| Project title | KoopHubs - Analyse von Kooperationsmöglichkeiten für urbane Midi-Hubs |
|---|---|
| Institute | Institute for Transport and Logistics Management Research Institute for Supply Chain Management |
| Description | The aim of the project is the development of a city-wide, two-stage logistics concept with micro-hubs, "Grätzl"-hubs and City Distribution Centers for the distribution of urban small consignments through cross-industry business co-operations. Sustainable urban development can hereby be improved by enriching the micro-hubs with additional social functions, thereby counteracting problems in urban land use and exploitation. In the inner-city area, the dynamic use of cargo bikes for the last mile should be carried out, with a sensible complement of low-emission trucks. In addition, optimized cooperation and operator models for the hubs will be determined, as well as a functional verification with real data using the example of the City of Vienna. |

| Project title | Einsatz von Lastenfahrrädern zu innerstädtischen Güterlieferung – ein Städtevergleich und Best Practice Empfehlungen für die Stadt Wien |
|---|---|
| Institute | Research Institute for Supply Chain Management |
| Description | A main goal of the smart city strategy of the City of Vienna is to decrease the number of fossil-fueled vehicles within the city. This can be reached by using cargo bikes for freight transport in urban areas. Although cycling per se enjoys increasing popularity in Vienna, the number of cargo bikes used for commercial transport is still low. This project compares the situation for the commercial use of cargo bikes in Vienna with the respective situation in Budapest, Munich and Copenhagen based on a literature review as well as on expert interviews. Subsequently, the results are transformed into recommendations for measures appropriate to increase the number of commercially used cargo bikes in the City of Vienna. |

| Project title | COONCOORD Consolidation and Coordination in Urban Areas |
|---|---|
| Institute | Research Institute for Supply Chain Management |
| Description | The project focuses on the important area of city logistics. It investigates an integrated urban freight simulation environment, a unique measurement framework for the environmental footprint of transport and logistics, and the performance measurement of new innovative urban transport and logistics concepts. The fundamental idea is to stop considering each shipment, actor and vehicle in isolation, but as components of an integrated logistics system to be optimized. The keywords are CONsolidation and COORDination (CONCOORD) of the urban distribution flows that are currently fragmented. |
