Abstract
Nowadays, the urban freight traffic is a very important research area because of its significant effect on the urban sustainability. In this field, we can highlight the problems of the logistics systems of the so-called urban concentrated sets of delivery locations, as we need to serve lots of stores in a very small area in case of these sets. This research field is in the focus of the City Logistics Research Group of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, since 2015. Based on the results of former research projects, we can say, that it could be really important to develop such a ranking model, which could rank the current city logistics state and the future city logistics development potentials of concentrated sets of delivery locations and other urban zones with individual delivery locations in the same time. In our paper, we are going to present an Analytic Hierarchy Process based multicriterial ranking model, which makes it possible to rank urban areas in a two-dimensional system, where the first dimension is the current city logistics state, and the second one is the future development potential. The main purpose of this ranking is to mark in future city logistics projects those urban zones, they could be well developed, and it is worthwhile to develop them.
