The Five Attribute Performance Assessment (FAPA) model to evaluate the performance of an urban consolidation centre (2021)
Journal Article
Daniela, P. (2021). The Five Attribute Performance Assessment (FAPA) model to evaluate the performance of an urban consolidation centre. Research in Transportation Economics, 90, Article 101065. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.retrec.2021.101065

Nowadays, local authorities are not completely aware of the advantages of city logistics measures, as they usually do not have a quantitative estimation of their related benefits. One of the most popular city logistics schemes is probably the Urban C...
