This report summarizes the main results of four case studies on how freight transport and delivery was affected by capacity changes in the Oslo transport system.
Our focus has been on identifying available adaptations to the change and resulting effects and consequences for freight transport and deliveries, represented by the important, but often neglected group, truck drivers.
Our results shows that despite being negatively affected by increased congestion and road blocking, truck drivers usually manage to cooperate with transport planners to adapt to the changes. However, consequences like increased time pressure, stress and frustration severely reduce the quality of their work day.
The investigations show that mitigating measures like allocating urban space and prioritizing freight traffic are important, and even more so at the time of capacity change implementation.
Thorough descriptions of knowledge-base, theoretical framework, methods, analyses and findings are available in TØI-reports 1733/2019, 1763/2020 and 1765/2020.
