Abstrakt: The problem of urban logistics operations in the context of their impact on the environment has become the key challenge. Due to that, there has been a growing interest in increasing the use of alternative fuels, including electro-mobility. However, an important barrier to the utilisation of electric freight vehicles (EFVs) is their travel range and battery capacity. The paper is focused on the idea of EFV utilisation improvement by implementation of charging stations in unloading bays. First, the Authors analysed the efficiency of chosen vehicles during daily work. Next, the potential improvement of their travel range was analysed, considering the short-time charging processes carried out during delivery operations, using the charging systems provided in unloading bays. Moreover, the concept of wireless chargers utilisation was proposed as a challenge for future work. According to the analysis, utilisation of unloading bays equipped with short-time battery chargers could improve significantly the travel range of EFVs. As a result, it could improve the efficiency of electric vehicles in last mile deliveries in city areas.

Tytuł : Efficiency of light electric vehicles in last mile deliveries - Szczecin case study

Autor/Autorzy: Stanisław Iwan, Mariusz Nürnberg, Mariusz Jedliński, Kinga Kijewska

Miejsce publikacji: Sustainable Cities and Society

Rok: 2021

Słowa kluczowe: city logistics, electromobility, urban freight transport, city sustainability, city users’s needs, transport system impact, electric freight vehicles

Abstrakt: City users gladly apply comfortable and time-saving e-commerce solutions as an alternative to traditional purchase. The present pandemic crisis made this issue even more important. It significantly increased the number of transport operations within the city area, as each order has to be delivered directly to the purchaser. Consequently, city authorities are confronted with the important challenge: how to fulfil the expectations and needs of city users in the context of transport system functioning in view of reducing the negative impacts of urban freight transport in terms of safety, air pollution or noise. This is one of the most important elements of social sustainability in cities. One of the solutions that help reduce the negative environmental impacts of urban freight transport is making use of vehicles that produce less air pollution, such as electric vans. It proved to be very effective in decreasing transportation footprint by reducing local emissions of e.g. PM or NOx. However, one of the key limitations is the potential short driving range of such vehicles, which results from the battery capacity and charging infrastructure availability. In recent years, some analyses related to that issue have been made. Nevertheless, the studies have taken into account passenger cars only. This paper presents the results of the research study aimed at verification of electric vans energy efficiency in real-life conditions, i.e. when delivering courier consignments. The electric van used for the purposes of the experiment was Nissan eNV200. This paper fulfils the important knowledge gap and could be helpful from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It should be emphasised that the experiment was carried out in real-life conditions, i.e. in the course of performing business processes in one of the worldwide known CEP companies. The research study was carried out under the EUFAL international project, funded under the Electric Mobility Europe programme. The results of the research shown high potential of electric vehicles and usefulness of electromobility in last mile deliveries. The business partner of the research is now on the stage of electric freight vehicles implementation into vehicles fleets.

Autor/Autorzy: Mariusz Nürnberg

Miejsce publikacji: Transportation Research Procedia

Rok: 2019

Słowa kluczowe: cargo bikes, city logistics, Last Mile Delivery, sustainability, urban freight transport

Abstrakt: Contemporary cities are becoming more and more crowded, polluted and devoid of space. At the same time, along with the development of e-commerce, the logistic flows are growing rapidly, which is an increasing challenge for city authorities. Sustainable development of urban logistics is becoming more and more important for the quality of dwellers life, while the solution of two main problems - congestion and poor air quality is the key to success in this field. The use of cargo bikes as a means of transport operating at least part of freight flows within the city has a positive impact on both problems. The article presents the course and results of field research on the use of cargo bikes in urban logistics in Stargard under the Low Carbon Logistic project. Particular attention was paid to the condition of the existing bicycle and road infrastructure in Stargard and the possibility of using cargo bikes for the needs of local government administration. The applied bicycles were also analyzed in terms of adapting their mobility and transport capabilities to the needs of potential users.

Tytuł monografii: Development of Transport by Telematics

Tytuł rozdziału monografii: Application of Telematics Solutions for Improvement the Availability of Electric Vehicles Charging Stations

Autor/Autorzy: Mariusz Nürnberg, Stanisław Iwan

Rok: 2019

Słowa kluczowe: Charging stations, Electric vehicles (EV), Telematics systems

Abstrakt: Electric vehicles (EV) are becoming more popular, therefore its number is increasing especially in large cities, the advantages of such vehicles are most noticeable there - lack of local emission and negligible noise. Following the popularity of EV, there is an increasingly dynamic development of charging infrastructure. The number, power and availability of the charging stations increases. The physical access to the charging station is becoming a real problem, the specificity of charging an EV means that in practice the place next to the station is a parking space and despite the markings it is occupied by other vehicles. The paper presents the concept of solving the problem of unauthorized use of charging stations by using a telematics system based on proximity detectors, whose main purpose is signaling the availability of stations and cases of unauthorized use of the charging station.

Autor/Autorzy: Mariusz Nürnberg, Stanisław Iwan, Kinga Kijewska

Rok: 2018

Słowa kluczowe: AHP, city logistics, Fleet management systems, Multi-criterial decision making, telematics, urban freight transport

Abstrakt: Fleet Management Systems (FMS) allows to manage a significant amount of spatially distributed objects, providing real-time information about its status and location, as well as information about the environment in which they are located. The amount of information that contemporary FMS can provide to decision makers is enormous and allows for a significant facilitation of transport optimization processes. This means that these systems can be an important support also for the implementation of tasks related to the operation of urban freight transport. The main problem, however, is the selection of the right tool among the many available on the market. The paper uses elements of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate selected Fleet Management Systems from the perspective of the end-user’s needs, with particular emphasis on increasing the time and economic efficiency of the management process.

Tytuł: Telematics Tools as the Support for Unloading Bays Utilization

Autor/Autorzy: Mariusz Nürnberg, Kinga Kijewska, Stanisław Iwan, Krzysztof Małecki

Miejsce publikacji: Archives of Transport System Telematics

Rok: 2018

Słowa kluczowe: city logistics, efficiency, traffic detection, Unloading bays, vehicle sensors

Abstrakt: Unloading bays are one of the most popular and simple to implement measures in city logistics systems. Th e main strength of this measure is that it eff ectively reduces congestion eff ect due to that loading or unloading operations are realize in special area and not infl uence directly on traffi c fl ow. However, the most important problem in utilization of unloading bays is their inappropriate use (as a normal parking space, not only for delivery vehicles during the delivering process) and the confl icts between users in the case of few deliveries at the same time and with utilization of the same unloading bay. Th e way to solve these problems is implementation of the telematics tools. Th e paper is focused on examples of utilization of mobile devices and sensors as the support for the unloading bays booking and use.
