<br />
Over the past two decades delivering goods into the cities has become a challenge with cities getting overly congested and traffic jams resulting in expensive logistics bottlenecks. In fact, studies show that the cost of congestion now in terms of time wasted in traffic and fuel consumption is off the roof, almost 200% more than what it was in the 1980s. And congestion is only a part of the urban delivery problem. Pollution, lack of parking bays, and warehousing costs are all restraints that are contributing to the economic cost of urban logistics.<br />
<br />
There is already a paradigm shift in how products are being manufactured (3D printing) and retailed (transition to online channels) today and the common denominator, supply chain, at all stages of a product's lifecycle must quickly adapt to the changes as well. While it will take another decade or so for 3D printing to become mainstream, the growing market of online retail has already significantly impacted the industry. In order to understand these shifts, it is important to understand the megatrends that directly influence them.<br />
<br />
Mega trends and Urban Logistics<br />
<br />
We see four main Mega trends that will impact urban logistics - urbanisation, connectivity and convergence, bricks and clicks and multimodality (high speed rail).<br />

Discussion Paper No. 2012-6<br />

(27-28 September 2012)<br />

<br />
A key message of this paper is that it is more costly for the public sector to use the private sector as financial intermediaries. This is due in part to the higher cost of commercial over public debt and the cost of the profit margin of both the private partner and its extensive supply chain. But there are also the not inconsiderable legal and financial advisors’ fees to each of the numerous parties to the transaction to structure and negotiate it<br />

This case study aims to show what freight transport related challenges policy makers in metropolitan areas are facing. It shows that interaction and cooperation within the institutional framework is very important and that a complex institutional framework jeopardizes good governance. The case study describes institutional challenges, environmental challenges and infrastructure related challenges. It also summarizes a number policy measures that could potentially improve the situation in Mexico city.<br />

Esta publicación resume la evolución de la movilidad y el desarrollo urbano para 15 áreas metropolitanas de América Latina que forman parte del Observatorio de Movilidad Urbana (OMU) de CAF. Para esto, un grupo de expertos describen su historia y las condiciones actuales de la movilidad en sus territorios con datos del OMU. De esta forma, el documento permite un análisis integrado, con comparaciones entre los procesos ocurridos en la región. <br />
<br />
El libro ha sido estructurado en capítulos por cada área metropolitana, que describen sucintamente la historia del desarrollo urbano y de su sistema de transporte e incorporan datos de las condiciones actuales de la movilidad. Un capítulo adicional compara las condiciones de movilidad actuales de las 15 ciudades y resume los datos completos del reporte oficial del OMU (CAF, 2010). <br />
<br />
Por último, se presentan las conclusiones obtenidas del análisis efectuado sobre las ciudades presentadas. El libro constituye un aporte para el análisis que debería realizarse, en el menor plazo posible, de la situación de la urbanización en América Latina para estructurar políticas públicas y comportamientos que contribuyan al desarrollo y a la sostenibilidad de las áreas urbanas de la región y su movilidad. <br />

Las "Experiencias exitosas" o también conocidas como "Mejores prácticas" son un concepto creado por las Naciones Unidas y por la Comunidad Internacional, que define un conjunto de iniciativas que buscan mejorar la calidad de vida y la sostenibilidad de las ciudades y las comunidades. <br />
<br />
Las mejores prácticas sirven:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Como instrumento para mejorar la política en materia pública.</li>
<li>Para aumentar el grado de conciencia de los responsables de formular políticas y de la comunidad sobre las posibles soluciones a problemas de tipo social, económico y ambiental.</li>
<li>Para compartir y transferir el conocimiento y la experiencia a través del aprendizaje mediante un sistema de red.</li>
<li>Como memoria institucional. Esto permite aprender de otros.</li>
<li>Como herramienta para ayudar a los políticos a desarrollar sus programas de trabajo.</li>
<li>Como facilitador de la cooperación técnica entre comunidades.</li>
<li>Como evidencia científica.</li>
</ul><br />
Finalmente, saber "que funciona" es la esencia del desarrollo de buenas políticas y programas.<br />

<br />
La seguridad vial, se convierte en un problema de gravedad creciente si pensamos que existen estimaciones que indican que en los países de América Latina y el Caribe, entre el año 2000 y el 2020, el número de víctimas mortales por el tránsito crecerá en un 48%, 149% en el Asia Meridional y aún cuando las predicciones son mejores para los países de Europa Oriental y Asia Central se estima un aumento del 19%. Con el objeto de enfrentar esta realidad, la Unidad de Transporte de la CEPAL ha encargado un estudio sobre la situación referente a la seguridad vial en los países de América Latina y el Caribe, para cubrir, entre otros, los siguientes temas: * Tasas de accidentes viales, personas lesionadas en estos accidentes, fallecimientos a raíz de estos accidentes, por habitante y por vehículo motorizado, comparando la situación en los países de la región con la de países asiáticos, en transición e industrializados; * La incorporación de la seguridad vial en la planificación del sector transporte y en la evaluación de proyectos; * Las instituciones relacionadas con el tema de la seguridad vial en los distintos países de la región, el papel de cada uno de ellos, y los mecanismos de planificación de actividades relacionadas con la seguridad en la región, y; * Conclusiones generales en los países de la región respecto a la seguridad vial.<br />
<br />
Se espera que dado el tiempo asignado al estudio, se debería cubrir una selección representativa de los países de la región, incluyendo (i) cinco de Sudamérica; (ii) México; (iii) cuatro de América Central y los países de habla española del Caribe, y (iv) dos otros de la subregión caribeña.<br />
<br />
Las secciones siguientes de este informe dan cuenta del trabajo realizado, los datos obtenidos, y las conclusiones y recomendaciones que de él se desprenden.<br />

But it is also the primary cause of U.S. oil dependency, and is responsible for more than a quarter of U.S. emissions of the greenhouse gases that are warming our planet. This report examines whether we can substantially reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from U.S. transportation. Report authors David Greene and Steve Plotkin provide three plausible scenarios of technology, policy, and public attitudes that result in cost-effective GHG reductions throughout the transportation sector. The High Mitigation Scenario shows we can reduce GHG emissions from transportation by as much as 65 percent below today’s levels by 2050. In order to do so, we need action on three fronts: targeted public policies, technological progress, and commitment from Americans as consumers and citizens.<br />

Serie de recursos naturales e infraestructura Nº 124<br />
<a href="http://www.eclac.org/cgi-bin/getProd.asp?xml=/publicaciones/xml/4/34014/P34014.xml&xsl=/drni/tpl/p9f.xsl&base=/tpl/top-bottom.xslt" class=style1 target="_blank"><b>CEPAL</b></a><br />
Octubre 2007<br />
<br />
El transporte de carga ha abierto amplios horizontes para la economía internacional, permitiendo el avance de la especialización geográfica y que la industria utilice fuentes de servicio a escala global. Aún así, el mercado de transporte en América del Sur exige una integración adicional, incluyendo la conexión de todos los puntos nodales dentro de la región hasta las regiones fronterizas, casi siempre aisladas.<br />
<br />
Dentro de las cargas transportadoras el transporte por ferrocarril en América del Sur sigue siendo el de menor importancia tanto a nivel nacional como subregional. Pero con el auge de la exportación y el interés renovado en el desarrollo de infraestructura crece la posibilidad de crear un nuevo enfoque, que incluye no solo la percepción unimodal, sino también la multimodal o intermodal.<br />
<br />
Se destaca las posibilidades del transporte ferroviario de conectar regiones aisladas con las vías fluviales lo cual permite el fácil acceso a los puertos marítimos aguas abajo. En el presente estudio, se analiza este potencial bajo una visión conducente al desarrollo sustentable del transporte, con un impacto menor sobre el medio ambiente.<br />
<br />
En base a un planteamiento metodológico y ejemplos, se llega a la conclusión de que es necesario iniciar un proceso político que tome en cuenta los impactos del transporte y la movilidad de las cargas. Este proceso debe poner énfasis en el potencial del desarrollo económico de regiones aisladas a través de la integración de los modos ferro-fluvial en América del Sur. Una visión unificada y la implementación de una política de transporte regional integrada puede resolver distorsiones y crear competitividad y eficiencia no solamente dentro del sector de transporte, sino también en su interacción con los otros sectores económicos y también sociales.<br />

The SUTP Sourcebook Module 5h titled "Urban Transport and Energy Efficiency" serves as a navigator for decision makers and stakeholders, including local and national authorities, the private sector and non-governmental organisations. It provides a comprehensive overview of measures and policies designed to promote greater energy efficiency in transport, and assigns specific tasks and responsibilities to particular parties. Case studies illustrate international experiences in implementing measures to increase energy efficiency in transport.<br />

The world's climate is changing. It is well recognized that technical standards and project specifications of public infrastructure have to be adjusted, depending on the climate. However, it is less recognized that the public infrastructure procurement also needs to be adjusted. This paper examines a particular case of rural road procurement in Nepal. Severe weather conditions, such as heavy rains and storms, are likely to interrupt civil works and wash away unpaved or gravel roads. It is found that heavy precipitation causes delays, but not cost overruns. The paper also shows that budgetary efficiency and credibility could be improved by taking climate conditions into account. If future precipitation were anticipated by backward-looking expectations, many large project delays could be avoided. If the autoregressive precipitation model were used, the vast majority of the observed delays could be eliminated.<br />

Long cargo dwell times in ports are a critical issue in Sub-Saharan African countries since they result in slow import processes and are bound to dramatically reduce trade. The main objective of this study is to analyze long dwell times' causes in ports in Sub-Saharan Africa from a shipper's perspective. The findings point to the crucial importance of private sector practices and incentives. The authors argue in the case of Sub-Saharan African countries that private operators, rather than being advocates of reforms in this area, might be responsible for the failures of many of these initiatives. It seems that in Sub-Saharan Africa importers' and freight forwarders' professionalism, cash constraints and operators' strategies are some of the factors that have a major impact on cargo dwell time. Low competency, cash constraints and low storage tariffs explain why most importers have little incentive to reduce cargo dwell time since in most cases, this would increase their input costs. However, monopolists/cartels may have a stronger incentive to reduce cargo dwell time but only in order to maximize their profit (and would not adjust prices downward).<br />

El Foro Mundial para la armonización de la reglamentación sobre vehículos (WP.29), llamado anteriormente Grupo de Trabajo sobre Fabricación de Vehículos, fue establecido el 6 de junio de 1952 en el marco del Comité de Transportes Interiores, por la resolución Nº 45 del Subcomité de Transporte por Carretera (SC.1) de la Comisión Económica para Europa de las Naciones Unidas (CEPE). En esta resolución se pedía el establecimiento de un grupo de trabajo formado por expertos competentes en materia de condiciones técnicas de los vehículos para aplicar las disposiciones técnicas generales de la Convención sobre la Circulación Vial concluida en Ginebra en 1949. En esas disposiciones se identifican las caracterÌsticas del vehículo como la causa principal de los accidentes de tráfico, con su secuela de muertos y heridos.<br />
<br />
<br />
El WP.29 administra actualmente tres acuerdos: el Acuerdo de 1958, el Acuerdo Mundial de 1998 y el Acuerdo de 1997 sobre la inspección técnica periódica. Unos grupos de trabajo subsidiarios, sucesores de los antiguos "grupos de relatores" y "grupos de expertos", ayudan al WP.29 a investigar, analizar y elaborar las especificaciones para las normas técnicas en las esferas de su competencia: contaminación y energía (GRPE), disposiciones de seguridad general (GRSG), frenos y aparatos de rodadura (GRRF), alumbrado y señalización luminosa (GRE), seguridad pasiva (GRSP) y ruido (GRB). <br />

This report was launched at the first Global Human Development Forum which brought together high-level experts from governments, corporations, civil society and international organizations to examine the global policy changes required to ensure a sustainable future for people today and for generations to come. The report, supported by 13 U.N. agencies, calls for a transformation to integrated policy making, where social equity, economic growth and environmental protection are approached together. It is a contribution of governments, experts, researchers and development practitioners ahead of the ‘Rio+20’ U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development in June in Brazil where participants will come together to discuss and shape new policies and measures to promote prosperity, reduce poverty and advance social equity and environmental protection.<br />

<b>Intelligent Mobility – thinking about tomorrow’s transport</b><br />
This was the title of a recent UNECE Inland Transport Committee policy debate. High‐level speakers, governments, experts and academia from all the around the world came together on 28 February 2012 to discuss Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and to contribute to the policy‐segment and launch of the UNECE strategy package on ITS.<br />
<br />
Intelligent Transport Systems play an important role in shaping the future ways of mobility and the transport sector. Through the application of ITS, transport can be more efficient, safer and greener. The objective of the UNECE strategy on ITS is to lobby for new actions and policies that would improve quality of life and make sustainable mobility available across borders.<br />

Procurement packaging has important effects on not only the bidders' bidding behavior, but also contractors' performance. By changing the size of public contracts, procurers can encourage (or discourage) market competition and improve contract performance, avoiding unnecessary cost overruns and project delays. In practice, there is no single solution about how to package public contracts. With procurement data from road projects in Nepal, this paper examines the optimal size of road contracts in rural areas. The optimum varies depending on policy objectives. To maximize the bidder participation, the length of road should be about 11 kilometers. To minimize cost overruns and delays, the contracts should be much larger at 17 and 21 kilometers, respectively. Compared with the current procurement practices, the findings suggest that procurers take more advantage of enlarging road packages, although contracts that are too large may increase the risk of discouraging firms from participating in public tenders.<br />
