- Abstract
- Urban freight transportation is crucial for the functioning of a city and city life. However, the way urban freight transportation is occurring is unsustainable since there are few regulations and dangerous situations easily arise. The purpose of the thesis was to examine transportation in car-free areas and identify the associated problems, guidelines and explore potential solutions to the identified issues. A literature review was conducted to investigate relevant concepts and research within the subject. An interview study based on the literature was also carried out, involving municipal representatives, freight transportation companies and waste management companies. To complement the findings, an observation of a car-free area in Lund... (More)

An interview study based on the literature was also carried out, involving municipal representatives, freight transportation companies and waste management companies. To complement the findings, an observation of a car-free area in Lund was conducted. The results of the study indicated that during hours of delivery car-free areas often suffer from congestion and a high number of vehicles. Additionally, there was a risk to vulnerable road users when transportation occurred in their prioritized area. Waste management and transportation companies expressed a willingness to collaborate with the municipality to improve the situation. However, cooperation and communication were often lacking among the different stakeholders. The conclusion of the thesis was that there is a need for increased collaboration and review of transportation practices in car-free areas. (Less)

- Godstransporter är livsviktiga för att en stad och stadslivet ska fungera, men sättet som godstransporter genomförs idag är inte hållbart. Det finns få riktlinjer på hur transporterna ska ske och riskfyllda situationer uppstod. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka problem i bilfria områden i centrumnära stadsmiljö, samt att komma med rekommendationer på hur det kan utvecklas utifrån dagens situation. Till att börja med utfördes en litteraturstudie för att undersöka relevanta begrepp och forskning inom ämnet. En intervjustudie baserad på litteraturstudien genomfördes också med kommunala representanter, transportföretag och avfallsföretag.

- Godstransporter är livsviktiga för att en stad och stadslivet ska fungera, men sättet som godstransporter genomförs idag är inte hållbart. Det finns få riktlinjer på hur transporterna ska ske och riskfyllda situationer uppstod. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka problem i bilfria områden i centrumnära stadsmiljö, samt att komma med rekommendationer på hur det kan utvecklas utifrån dagens situation. Till att börja med utfördes en litteraturstudie för att undersöka relevanta begrepp och forskning inom ämnet. En intervjustudie baserad på litteraturstudien genomfördes också med kommunala representanter, transportföretag och avfallsföretag. Slutligen gjordes en kompletterande observation i ett bilfritt område i Lund. Resultatet visade att under tiden leveranserna skedde i bilfria områden blev det ofta trångt och oordnat då många fordon blandades med oskyddade trafikanter. Under den tiden utsattes de oskyddade trafikanter för otrygga situationer, i områden de skulle vara prioriterade. Avfallshanterings- och transportföretag uttryckte en vilja att samarbeta med kommunen för att förbättra situationen och kom med lösningsförslag. Men det saknades ofta samarbete och kommunikation mellan de olika aktörerna vilket gjorde både problemen svåra att definiera och att lösningarna var svåra att implementera. Slutsatsen av examensarbetet var att riktlinjer för transporter i bilfria områden behövs och att de olika aktörerna som verkar i områdena behöver samarbeta med varandra. (Less)
