The role of national authorities and interaction between planning levels

Toril Presttun Norwegian Public Road Administration

Norwegian Public Roads Administration

• Manage national road network, vehicles and

drivers

• “Sector responsibility” for road transport issues
• Manage regional roads – 19 counties
• Municipalities is responsible for land use and local

roads and streets

Urban logistics

• “The movement of goods,

s, equipme ment nt and waste ste into, out from, within or through an urban area.” EU-white paper

• «Urban logistics covers all activities involved in the

transport of goods in a city. It lies at the crossroads between urban n develop

• pment

ment issues, ues, econo

• nomic

c dynami mics cs and quality ty of li life; it is an increasingly important consideration in the overall functioning of the city and its management requires an efficient rationalization of its components.» (RunGIS, 2015)

Definintions

Challenges

• Basically the same main challenge as other planning related

to transport – Land use and transport infrastructure – Regulations and enforcement – Rapid development in technology

• Freight is complex and it is hard to get the overview – the

common understanding is less developed than passenger transport

• Stakeholders in private sector is a combination of some

very large firms and many small firms – how do we secure fruitful interaction

• Change the focus from freight traffic to what is inside the

vehicle – all the way from shipper to receiver

Planning urban logistics

Land use and infrastructure

• National and international level
• Focus on main flows through, to and from urban areas –

motorways, rail terminals and ports

• Less focus on distribution centres and mega-warehouses
• Regional level
• Make the location and design of national infrastructure

match the regional need

• Additional meshed infrastructure
• Make the local land use decisions fit regional needs
• Local level
• Reject or attract national /regional infrastructure and

warehouses

• Concerned by environmental impacts from major

transport infrastructure

• Inner city problems

Challenges and interaction between planning levels

Terminals as part of infrastructure

• Ports and rail-terminals are normally considered as public

infrastructure

• Terminals involving only road transport is not - but the

location and network of terminals is important for the economy and the amount of freight traffic

• What should be the public sector responsibility for an
• ptimal terminal structure?

– Large logistic sites, city terminals, depots in city, goods receipt facilities in buildings and loading bays

Challenges – Freight facilities and land use

Regulation and technology

• Use of infrastructure

– Restrictions and regulations about noise, emissions, congestion – Standards and traditions – Autonomous vehicles – Electric vehicles and electrified roads – ITS and dynamic traffic management

Challenges

including stakeholders

• How do we do it and who do we meet?

– National level: Sea and rail are dominating the discussion, cost of first and last mile are often underestimated – Road infrastructure – passenger transport and large freight actors are dominating stakeholders – Local level and inner city: Real-estate owners and retailers are dominating stakeholders, transport companies, mobile service providers and drivers are less involved

Challenges

Urban Logistics

• Main objective: Urban logistics should contribute to

attractive cities, low carbon emissions, effective solutions for business and industry and high quality of life

• Establish academic and professional environment on urban

logistics /city logistics in Norway

• Improve the knowledge base, provide better data
• Encourage cities to work out Sustainable Urban Logistic

Plans

• Identify rules and regulations that hinder environmental

friendly urban logistics

• Evaluate measures and pilots
