TY  - JOUR
AB  - Road freight transport is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas and air pollutantemissions. Hence, it is increasingly regulated in urban areas to reduce its impact on theenvironment and human health. The rich data available from telematics has the potentialto provide high-resolution information, yet research has not been conducted to understand,evaluate, and ultimately improve the operation and impacts of urban road freight. This paperdemonstrates the role of vehicle telematics data in enabling quantitative assessment of theimpacts of urban freight transport for the effective management of relevant policies. We presenta comprehensive data-driven approach that provides a robust quantitative evaluation andapplies it to a case study of the London Lorry Control Scheme (LLCS) policy in UK. We showthat, for the studied freight operator, the LLCS policy affects their drivers’ route choice bothinside and outside the restricted hours. The spatio-temporal distributions of different parametersincluding traffic speeds, fuel economy and emissions at different times of the day are comparedand analyzed. The results indicate that the unintended consequences of urban freight transportpolicies can include an extra 15% vehicle-km traveled per trip and 12% liter of fuel consumedper trip
