Abstract
Integrating urban parcel transport into a public passenger transport system is a promising concept to reduce traffic congestion and to use resources more efficiently. However, the last decade saw several promising pilot projects failing due to the lack of long-term support and profitability. Existing reviews show that financial viability is an important aspect for the long-term success of such projects. Integrated transport relies on a range of stakeholders, which differ in their incentives and want to profit from the system. For example, partially financing the public transit system with the revenue gained from parcel transportation may contribute to the success of a shared transport system from the point of view of public transit providers.
In this talk, we first describe the views of relevant stakeholders based on a review of the literature and case studies. Further, we propose performance indicators to evaluate a shared passenger and freight system from the perspective of the individual stakeholders. Secondly, we conceptualize an agent-based simulation model to evaluate business cases for a shared passenger and freight network.
