Building the Database
Project Summary
Project number: MF-1A
Funding source: Volvo Research and Educational Foundations
Performance period: 1/1/2013 to 10/1/2015
Project description
The purpose of this project is to create a comprehensive database for each metropolitan area that will a) support local research initiatives, b) allow comparative studies of various urban freight topics, and c) identify urban freight data gaps among the four metropolitan areas. We explain the data collection plan and the data that has been collected for the partner metropolitan areas: Los Angeles, New York, Paris, and Seoul. City logistics data falls into five categories of information: jurisdiction, infrastructure, land use, flows, and policy. The availability of data elements differs across metropolitan areas.
