3 Percentage Role & Importance of Urban Freight Logistics cost in India account for 10 to 13% share of GDP, the freight transport account for 35% share of total logistics cost. Goods vehicle & operating costs contribute 5% to 8% to total metropolitan city tax revenue Urban Goods Transport account for)- 18% of Vehicle kilometres 31 % of Energy Use 31% of CO2 Emissions In the developed world)), there are truck trips per 1,000 people/day tons of goods per person/year Goods Traffic Share in Urban Traffic in EUROPE CO2 Veh.Km Energy Use Freight Transit Urban Freight Total *Urban Freight in Developing Cities-GTZ report, **-Urban Freight Distribution-Relevance to Indian Context-Cambridge Systematics

4 Aim & Objectives NEED FOR THE STUDY Urban freight infrastructure planning is neglected during Preperation of City Development Plans (CDP) & Master Plans proposals lack rationale basis. Very little empirical studies have been carried out assess the goods movement characteristics. Conventionally the freight traffic is not explicitly accounted in the transport planning process in urban areas. There is an urgent need to assess urban freight patterns at disaggregate level. OBJECTIVES To appreciate the role & importance of freight in urban areas & Identify issues affecting their operation To review existing urban freight movement characteristics across Indian cities& establish freight generation rates. To estimate the existing demand for freight movement in Hyderabad both at aggregate & disaggregate level. To estimate the likely freight traffic in the horizon year & assess its impact under business as usual (BAU) scenario. To evolve alternate strategies to minimize the impact of urban freight in horizon year

PRIMARY DATA SECONDARY DATA No.of Establishments Auto Parts 3771 Building Materials 5993 Electricals Food Grains Readymade Garments 8483 Others Total(approx.) 1,10,000 The selected commodity establishments also account for nearly 59% of the total establishments.

10 Analytical Framework The Data Collected has been analyzed with respect to Scale of Operations i.e. Wholesale/ Retail/ Wholesale-Retail and Location of Establishments i.e. Central Business District (CBD), Outlying Business District (OBD), Fringe Areas For the purpose of analysis the area delineation is as under- CBD : Distance of about 5 Km from the Centre OBD : Distance between 5 to 10 Km from the Centre Fringe : Distance exceeding 10 Km from the Centre BUILDING MATERIALS AUTO PARTS READYMADE GARMENTS FOOD ELECTRICALS & ELCTRONICS GRAINS

The Wholesale-Retail & Wholesale markets alone account for 77% of the total tonnage generated. As the Readymade garments are not a bulk traded commodity, its share is very high in Retail segment (43%)

16 Implications of Freight Traffic on Environment Alternate Scenarios were developed to assess the implications of freight on the environment- Scenario I: Business As Usual Scenario II : Green Mode Scenario Scenario-I: Business As Usual Scenario For this particular scenario Same vehicular mix, distribution leads and distribution modes as in base year have been assumed The performed tonne/km doubled from the base year to horizon year resulting in 72% increase in emissions.

17 Implications of Freight Traffic on Environment Scenario-II: Green Mode Scenario It is assumed that a new mode which has similar characteristics to that of Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) but with zero tail pipe emissions is likely to replace the LCV in a phased manner. This ratio of change in vehicle composition is assumed to be 100:0, 70:30, and 30:70 for LCV: Green Mode for the years 2014, 2024, and 2034 respectively. It is observed that the performed tonne/km doubled from the base year to horizon year resulting in 33% reduction in emissions. With comparison of BAU Scenario & Green Mode Scenario, it is observed that though the tonne km increases,the emissions are reduced by 60%

18 Conclusion Urban freight is neglected both in terms of database and empirical research Absence of micro-level demand assessment is resulting in irrational and inadequate planning for freight facilities. Disaggregate analysis can provide better & reliable estimates in tonnage generation and can assist in rational planning of freight facilities This study is a contribution to estimate micro level demand assessment based on cross-classification method. A variation in generation rates is observed at aggregate and disaggregate level of assessment. Recommendations Freight Planning should be based upon disaggregate demand estimate Transferability checks over various classes of cities should be carried out Areas of Further Research Micro level demand assessment of Urban Freight More Empirical Studies Should be carried out for different order of city sizes.
