在过去的10-15年里，文献中广泛地研究了个别货运政策，但令人惊讶的是，很少有人关注选择城市货运政策措施的过程。本研究的重点是UFT政策选择的地方当局，调查如何政策背景，资源的可用性和合法性的需要影响地方当局如何寻求和选择UFT的具体政策。该方法是一个跨案例分析的11个城市在三个国家（瑞典，英格兰和苏格兰），基于访谈和文件数据。结果显示，所有的城市都有相同的高层次的目标，如减少排放和拥堵，支持经济和提高生活质量。然而，在大多数情况下，这些相当笼统的目标并没有被分解为明确的目标和可以衡量的指标。因此，选定的UFT政策措施是从一系列共同措施（主要是时间窗口和重量限制等访问限制）中选择的，但没有确定它们是否实现目标的监测目标。这并不一定意味着所选择的措施是不适当的，而是缺乏一种战略方针，根据实现具体政策目标的情况来制定和审查措施。这主要是由于缺乏资源和专门的UFT人员，以及与公众接受限制性政策有关的挑战。
Individual freight transport policies have been investigated in the literature extensively in the last 10-15 years, yet there has surprisingly been very little attention to the process of selecting urban freight transport (UFT) policy measures. This study focuses on UFT policy choice by local authorities, investigating how policy context, resource availability and the need for legitimacy influence how local authorities seek and select UFT specific policies. The methodology is a cross-case analysis of eleven cities across three countries (Sweden, England and Scotland), based on interview and documentary data.Findings reveal that all cities have the same high-level goals, such as reducing emissions and congestion, supporting the economy and improving quality of life. However, in most cases these rather general goals are not broken down into clear objectives with targets that can be measured. Therefore, selected UFT policy measures are chosen from a pool of common measures (primarily access restrictions such as time windows and weight restrictions), but without monitored targets that determine whether or not they are achieving objectives. This does not necessarily mean that the measures chosen are inappropriate, but that there is a lack of a strategic approach to setting and reviewing measures according to achieving specific policy goals. This is primarily a result of a lack of resources and dedicated UFT personnel, as well as challenges related to public acceptability of restrictive policies.
