Sustainable Logistics and mobility in cities: Paris South-East Area

According to COP21, COP22 & COP23 recommendations, and European commission policy in terms of mobility for growth and sustainable development, many experiences are tested in Europe for reducing road transportation, congestions, CO2 emission, and increasing people quality of life, environment protection, and company performance by proposing alternative solutions (rail, waterborne, bike...) in urban logistics and mobility. This paper presents collaborative concepts developed for reducing road transportation and congestion and improving urban logistics and mobility by implementing alternative solutions (combination of road with waterborne and rail) in a region. A simulation tool is used for describing actual situation of a city. Then this model is analyzed and scenarios containing alternative solutions are proposed. The specifications of a software tool being developed for implementing co-creative and co-innovative solutions on a city or region is presented. This tool will be deployed in website, mobile and public terminal (Human/Machine Interface) for capitalizing citizens opinions and propositions for improving their city. An illustration is proposed by explaining in detail how they are being used in the area of GPS (Grand Paris Sud), the south-east of Paris region. The "Grand Paris Sud" region, is composed of 24 small cities with 342 000 peoples and 19 000 companies. This conglomeration is attractive for logistic companies, due to its proximity with Paris, Orly Airport (second airport of Paris) and highways. (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
