B. Project Details B1. Project guidelines The fast growth of urban areas in major cities in Latin America is undoubtedly one of the biggest concerns of city officials. Data indicates that currently 81% of the population lives in urban areas and it is estimated that by 2030 this amount will reach 86% [1]. According to the report of "World Urbanization Prospects, 2011 Revision," it is estimated that in Latin America for 2025 and 2050 the population in urban areas will reach 86.2% and 89.6% respectively, and specifically in Ecuador this figure will be 74% and 81.5% for the same years respectively [1]. This fact will bring economic, political and social implications due to the high demand of resources and to the capacity to react that cities may have with everyday problems such as: deterioration of the urban environment, traffic congestion, waste disposal and air quality. For this reason, the Ecuadorian government has launched the Strategic Mobility Plan (EMP), which guides the development of the Transport System of Ecuador for the period 2013-2037 defining programs of action in relation to infrastructure, logistics equipment, the institutional framework and the management of waterborne, air freight, cargo, passenger and public rail frame, plus transportation systems in special areas such as the Galapagos and the Amazon. Referring to the planned logistics facilities in the EMP that are associated with international transport, including a set of logistics platforms whose main function is to serve the internal transport, border crossings, ports and centers of production and consumption.
B2. Project description Motivation Cities require freight transportation to supply them of goods and services, however, the urban freight transport is especially known for its great impact on the economic, environmental and social sustainability, which in the case of large cities, becomes unsustainable over time, as shown by [4]. To minimize the unsustainable impacts of this transport sector, many local governments have developed policies focused on constraints on this sector, instead of providing viable solutions, scientifically acceptable, optimal and generated from reliable information. It should be noticed that 91% of the 14.5 million inhabitants of Ecuador, according to the 2010 census, are distributed in nucleus of over 5,000 habitants. Selecting the nuclei with more than 15,000 inhabitants, the percentage drops to 76%; and if the cut is up to more than 25,000 inhabitants it changes to 67%. Populations with more than 50,000 inhabitants gather 57% of the whole population [2]. Parishes of Guayaquil and Quito in the cantons of the same name, delimit two urban areas that accumulate 27% of the country's population. If it is added, to the population of these parishes, the nearby nuclei that make up the metropolitan areas, this value reaches 35% of the total (19% in Guayaquil and 16% in Quito) [3]. According to the information reported by the EMP, the main nodes of the country are Quito and Guayaquil. However for the optimization of the logistics distribution operations, it is necessary to establish other population logistics nodes at the center and south of the country (Santo Domingo, Cuenca and Loja). In the case of Quito and Guayaquil, it is also convenient to create several of these logistics platforms distributed around the town to guarantee coverage (North and South in the case of Quito and, East and West and in the case of Guayaquil).
Goals The objective of this research project is to develop a dynamic and sustainable model to determine the optimal system for urban management and load distribution for critical and heterogeneous Km2 in Guayaquil and Quito cities , and their areas of influence; while improving load management through minimization of logistics costs, transportation time, and some negative externalities produced by this type of transport (e.g. congestion, environmental impacts and risks) within a time horizon of 25 years.

Methodology
The process to drive this study is: • Review of legal documentation, regulations and other rules of freight transportation in Ecuador. • Preliminary observation of the study area. • Division of the study area in specific km2 of study. 2 • Determinate critical and heterogeneous Km (Commercial, Industrial, Residential) in the area of study. 2 • Collect information for each km to be studied related to shop inventory; roads, traffic count, violations and disruptions, as well as deliveries. • Identification of travel generators and attractors to implement the geographic database with information from these nodes and the road system. • Gathering information using geographic positioning systems. • Link shop information and points collected with GPS to map these points and determine the location of sale clusters. • Perform a statistical analysis to determine significant variables through factor analysis, histograms, forecasts, etc. • Proposal of a model of optimal facilities location-routing for the position of micro-platforms or urban crossdocking centers, considering freight vehicles on the roads of the study area, which features the type of freight vehicle, time windows, and others factors relevant to the study. • Validate the models developed. • Verification of the results of the models. • Generation of urban public policy proposals based on the information of the baseline scenario (current) and future scenarios.
Contribution of each participating institution Project scope
System for urban management and load distribution for critical and heterogeneous Km2 in Guayaquil and Quito cities, and their areas of influence.
Expected results
The project would generate: • Identification of urban characteristics and networks. • Finding of bottlenecks in road networks. • Characterization of population, consumer preferences for goods and services in each critical and heterogeneous Km2 studied, drawing on studies of social indicators. • Analysis between reality and generated public policy regarding the urban distribution of goods. • Statistical analysis of the characteristics of the freight transportation system in the study area by vehicle type, delivery of goods, establishment types, road networks, etc. • Optimal location-routing of urban logistics micro-platforms. • into populated areas, based on the characteristics of the study area to generate more coverage, accessibility, equity in access to goods, etc. • Maximization of operational efficiency and use of vehicles / logistics facilities. • Reduction of pollutant emissions due to a better vehicle management or to an assessment of using nonmotorized vehicles. • Generation of urban public policies based on urban logistics information. • Basis for developing an integrated multimodal freight transportation system in the city.
