CSIR-CRRI to study the problems related to Freight Movements in Urban Areas under World Bank funded project

The World Bank has funded a research study to CSIR-CRRI to carry out a study on "Megacity Logistics: Metrics, Tools and Measures for Sustainability (MEGALOG)" to study the problems related to Freight Movements in Urban Areas taking a case study of Delhi City. This project is going to carry out by CSIR-CRRI in association with TNO Netherlands and TU Delft, Netherlands. The project is expected to give recommendations to measure the sustainability towards freight, applicable tools to analyse freight movements and propose a set of suitable freight policies which improves the conditions of urban areas. Apart from that, the training through short courses also would be imparted to stakeholders namely policy makers, development authorities, transport operators, researchers etc who are associated with freight movements in the urban areas in order to sensitise the issue and enhance the capacity through knowledge transfer.
