KoopHubs
Design of a sustainable, cooperative, two-tier distribution system for small consignments in the city of Vienna
The aim of this R&D project is to develop a city-wide, two-tier logistics concept with City Distribution Centres as well as micro and Grätzl hubs for the distribution of urban small consignments through cross-sectoral business cooperation. The new logistical structures (as instruments of sustainable urban development) are founded by enriching the micro-hubs with additional social functions. This counteracts, among other things, the problems in urban land use and land utilisation. In the inner-city area, the use of cargo bicycles for the last mile is to be increased, with low-emission In addition, optimised cooperation and operator models for the two types of hubs will be determined, as well as proof of function at system level with real data using the example of the city of Vienna.
