    Using modelling techniques to analyze urban freight distribution. A case study in Pamplona (Spain)
    (Elsevier, 2018) Álvarez, Pablo; Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Juan Pérez, Ángel Alejandro; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    The city of Pamplona, in Spain, is currently experiencing several changes regarding sustainable mobility such as pedestrianization of some streets in the city center, and access control to the Old Town for motor vehicles through the use of automatic number-plate recognition. However, some groups including local neighbors and businesses are raising complaints as they are being affected by these measures. This is also the case for couriers and logistics companies which have now to comply with new regulations regarding delivery routes throughout the Old Town. This paper will present a comprehensive study of the situation that is being carried out, and in which social perceptions and freight traffic patterns in the Old Town of Pamplona are analyzed to understand how urban freight distribution could be improved in the area. For this purpose, we make use of a survey-based research to the stakeholders, i.e. pedestrians, logistics companies, retailers, and authorities of Pamplona. Results highlight pollution derived from transportation, lack of parking spaces as well as invasion of public spaces in the city center as the key issues for improving freight transportation in the Old Town. Finally, placing a distribution center in the Old Town and the promotion of the cycle-logistics are considered as the future of the urban distribution in Pamplona.

    Pricing and internalizing noise externalities in road freight transportation
    (Elsevier, 2017) Serrano Hernández, Adrián; Álvarez, Pablo; Lerga Valencia, Iosu; Reyes-Rubiano, Lorena Silvana; Faulín Fajardo, Javier; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    People living close to main roads may suffer from the nuisance of traffic and noise pollution. This paper assesses the effect of full routing cost in vehicle routing decisions by internalizing the external cost of noise. On a first step, noise externalities are economically assessed through a contingent valuation procedure. Secondly, a novel methodology is proposed to allocate the external costs to the road network links. Results show significant differences in routing planning depending on the approach: minimization of traditional internal cost versus minimization of full cost. These results encourage further research in pricing and methodologies to internalize externalities.
