ICT 2015 - Workshop: Impact of ICT on innovative urban distribution

Urbanization and urban change challenge cities’ infrastructure. As space for roads and vehicles is limited in the city centers, new, more efficient concepts for urban distribution logistics are needed. Furthermore, modern ICT has a significant an increasing impact on distribution processes. The scope of this workshop is to present case studies and recent pilot projects on new distribution concepts and to discuss the role of EUSPN and ICT for the realization of these concepts:
? What improvement do they generate? And how is this measured?
? Are they a welcome support by the users or are they often left turned off?
? Which gaps in coverage of user needs have to be addressed?
The workshop brings together practical experience and scientific evidence to discuss pros and cons and open gaps in regards to developments and applications.
The workshop will consist of four presentations (30 min each), followed by a panel discussion (45 min). Including the introduction and summary the workshop would last 2,5h. The concept could be adjusted if the format of the conference requires a different duration of the workshop.
The workshop is a part of the 6th international Conference on EUSPN. For registration and more information please visit the EUSPN homepage.
