PhD in Urban Mobility
Optimizing Mobility of Goods in Cities: Urban Integration and Intermodal Potential.
Eight major challenges characterize our urban landscapes, which can even influence habitus in its sociological meaning as highlighted by Norbert Elias.
The current global situation at the level of cities and metropolises stems from various trends applying to urban logistics through a new operational framework that is that of increasing B2C distributions involving, among other things, shared mobility schemes, door-to-door services, multimodality and customer-centered systems that can exacerbate tensions on the urban space that cannot extend indefinitely.
As part of this doctoral thesis, we will seek to model the transport of goods from the case of Casablanca to understand its dynamics, better understand the interactions and imagine intelligent, connected, economically efficient and environmentally viable urban logistics solutions calling for the sharing of means of transport, the duality of their use, the use of its own vectors and the use of a perfectly integrated intermodality.
The aim of this research will be to define the characteristics of urban logistics and ultimately to reflect on the socio-economic evaluation of different alternatives in this area. Qualitative logics, a systemic approach and econometric models will be developed to propose a complete process of identification and implementation of innovative solutions in urban logistics, aiming to minimize the negative externalities of urban flows of goods.
