Efficient freight transport is an opportunity for increasing the economic and social welfare of local communities. Modern industry requires reliable and on-time delivery distribution networks and service trips, resulting in higher and higher: value growth per unit transported; increase of just in time operation. Long term structural trends focused on higher ratio among time / quality / cost of transport are needed by improving logistics efficiency as factor for enhancing competition of the European cities.
In Italy there is a wide debate on how to approach traffic management, whenever insists on push measures or in some cases move to pull measure. Among the open issues has been evidenced that at local level new models have being consolidated and are now able to: outlining the system of last mile market regulation; properly manage freight demand; improve network management system (i.e. ITS) To allow public and private stakeholders to increase the level of understanding on dynamics and suitable policy scenarios for implementing concrete, effective and tailored measures, there is the need for a clear involvement of Central Government meaning coordinated approach promoted by the Ministry of Transport.
Establishing the framework agreement (NFQP) represented the first important step undertaken by Ministry of Transport. This voluntary agreement had as main objective sharing most significant practices in urban freight transport among Italian cities. NFQP key drivers are: harmonization of regulations in order to simplify distribution and service trips operation better use of ITS for vehicles and infrastructures, to improve network management changing behaviour of stakeholders Better lawfulness Increased transparency
