OUR CITY’S CITY-LOGISTICAL BASIC PROBLEMS:

15-20 year old worn-out truck fleet, uncoordinated truck- and good distribution traffic. Only the multinational companies have relatively independent transport-distribution strategy, but these are not harmonized with each other. As many products, groups of products, manufacturers, as many freight trips necessary.

EVERYBODY CAN CARRY ANYTHING FOR EVERYBODY!?
Founding of the conception:
- Derivation of the city-logistic targets from the transport policy
-  The latest trends of good transportlogistics
-  Logistic situation of the Kaposvár urbanisation area

Urbanisation area of Kaposvár city:

centre - Kaposvár;

Inner ring: Kaposmérő, Kaposújlak;

Outer ring: Juta, Kaposfő, Kaposhomok, Kaposszerdahely, Sántos, TASZÁR (!), Zselickislak, Zselicszentpál, Szentbalázs, Baté.

Detailes:
the changes of the structure have to be analyzed, in factory size, workplace, place of living and in commerce. In consumption of the manufacturers and the population, in technologies.

The best alternative has to be chosen:
A.) Transport alliance? (based on the cooperative collaboration of the stakeholders)
B.) Cooperative planning of the city freight transport? (based on modern surveying methods)
C.) Establishing of city-logistic centre? (brown-field investments)
D.) Virtual logistic centre? (as public utility)

THE EXPECTABLE POZITIVE IMPACTS ARE DEMONSTRABLE(+)
-  to the inhabitants of the city
-  to the operators
-  to the users
In sum, the improvement of the logistic services and the supply increases the economic potential of the region and attracts more investors!

The role of the „owner of the city” in the improvement of the city logistic system:
In a wider sense logistic is a cost-effective art hove to move persons, goods, vehicles and information! Whose the city to whom belongs the problem of economicalness too! The drafted concepts of developments affect in more relation the impact areas of the city logistics: city traffic, area planning/area utilisation, environment, economicalness.

NOWDAYS THE CITY-LOGISTIC MEANS URBAN LOGISTIC, WHICH EXTENDS TO:
the support of the optimal operation of the surroundings, the tasks coming from the commerce, moreover investigates the connections and impacts between persons, information and organisations, taking into account the predictions and trends, gives a possibility to answer the future challenges of the city development.

Involved in the city-logistic programme: trade production haulier companies, Municipalities, possible contractor/subcontractors, Experts/Consultants, Associations, and the method of “Two-level modelling Of the freight transport flow”.

WHAT KIND OF SERVICES ARE THERE/WOULD BE IN THE LOGISTIC SERVICE CENTRE?!
Institutional services, Safety, security services, Regulation services, Additional logistic services, Information and consultancy services, Basic logistic services….for example,

- Service connected to transport preparation (call for bids, forwarding of goods, vehicle ordering)
- Service connecting conventional freight traffic (localand long-distance transport, industrial track-service, loading and unloading or transfer, parcel-making)
- Services connecting combined transport (attended, unattended)
- Services connecting storage (temporally storage, wagestorage, customs-yard, customs free-zone service consignation storage possibilities, issuing of warehousetickets, commissioning, other activities)
- End-logistics services (packaging, pricing, labelling, installation, confectioning, JIT-principle delivery)

CONCLUSION:
-  To rebuild the economic competitiveness of the region is possible only through the product quality connected to a higher skill of service quality,
-  In this surplus of the service quality  (containing the modern warehousing, packaging, using of parcel-making devices, the modern transport methods and informationflows, the tracing of the way of the goods, the warehousing close to the market, homedelivery etc.) the economic potential of the area / region is reflecting.

SUMMARY: FOLLOWING THE „GATEWAY” CONCEPT THE „TELEHOUSES” AS SMALL-REGIONAL LOGISTIC CENTRES CAN MANAGE THE COLLECTION- AND DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS WITHIN THE SUPPLING ZONE OF THE CLC. SO THE INTRODUCED CITY/URBAN LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS POSSIBLY CAN SERVE THE ECONOMIC RISE OF THE SMALL REGIONS AND SACK-SETTLEMENTS TOO!
