An investigation of logistical solutions for exploitation of urban environments.

Abstract: The exploitation of Veddesta in Järfälla county, Stockholm, is currently the largest exploitation site in Scandinavia. The project includes not only the construction of living quarters and work places but also an extension of the city’s blue subway line from Akalla with an additional two stations. The complications with the exploitation, from a logistic perspective, arises with the fact that the exploitation site is open for public use along with multiple entrepreneurs and builders sharing the compact and busy roads. The county of Järfälla has identified the need of a collective logistics solution to manage the issue of coordinating the traffic generated by the exploitation.The report aims to suggest a logistic solution to coordinate all transports within the exploitation of urban areas and form effective transportation paths from the supplier to the construction site. The investigation is based on an examination of three project situated in the Stockholm region, Hagastaden, Gallerian and Norra Djurgårdsstaden along with traffic analyses for the area compiled by Prolog Bygglogistik AB. The assignment of creating and implementing a logistic solution for the exploitation of Veddesta is assigned to Prolog Bygglogistik AB, with Järfälla county as the employer and the report as an independent investigation.The logistical solution for Veddesta is based on principles from the conventional logistic method, Lean and Supply Chain Management. It will be situated at the existing checkpoint that has been implemented for Barkarbystaden, due to high capacity of parking trucks. This logistical model requires the use of a logistical planning system to create an even distribution of deliveries during the day, along with the requirement of a 75% usage of the trucks loading capacity. All being requirements implemented in the investigated projects.
