Abstract
T
his paper presents the main issues related
to the
financing
of urban logistics solutions
, m
ore precise
ly
to
the contribution of economic analysis
on strategic decision support related for urban logistics
financing
, focusing on cost benefit analysis. First
we present the main
funding strategies in
urban
economics, mainly in
the field of urban logistics
.
Second we address
the contribution of cost benefit
analysis by recalling the main methodology and
adapting
it to urban logistics.
Third we apply the method
to the
example of deploying a delivery spac
e booking network,
and illustrate the application via a set of
three examples containing different situations and scenarios, which
are presented
, assessed and discussed
.
From the different simulations, it is observed that the way the system is financed has
strong impacts on
both its individual cost
(for potential users) and its attractiveness.
