Abstract

This paper presents a general framework to assess urban rail logistics suitability via a socio-economic cost benefit analysis and demand catchment assessment. First, we examine the main background issues related to data production in urban logistics and the needs of examining the economic viability of future projects. Second, we present methodology proposed that combines a classical CBA framework with a freight catchment analysis framework. Third, as an example of application, we propose to assess freight tramway deployment scenarios in Paris, France. The results show the potential of including demand catchment analysis in CBA to identify the suitable demand introduction strategy. However, it seems important to contextualize them, such methods being used to support decisions and not to substitute decision maker.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Interviews to freight tramway stakeholders took place in June 2014, May 2017 and February 2017. Interviews to urban consolidation stakeholders (5 interviews) were carried out between December 2015 and April 2017.

  2. 2.

    Purpose given by Joël Danard in private conversation in June 2016, related to the deployment of a real system in other French cities after the study of Paris.
