New urban freight demand modelling guidelines released

Urban freight is an important factor in how cities work, providing the ability for the urban economy to function.

Total freight activity in Australia has been forecast to grow by approximately 25 per cent between 2018 and 2040. The modelling and assessment of urban freight demand is therefore already important and will continue to grow in importance over time.

New urban freight demand modelling guidelines have just been released. These guidelines provide the basis for consistent best practice assessment across the country.
