The COVID-19 crisis has provided ample evidence of the existential importance of goods movement to the Canadian economy and the well-being of Canadians. City Logistics for the Urban Economy (CLUE) is a collaboration among researchers at McMaster University, the University of Toronto and York University, with public sector partners representing multiple levels of government and several industry partners. CLUE will address an interrelated set of challenges and opportunities arising from trends in urban goods transportation. The challenges include meeting consumer expectations for same-day home delivery by vehicles travelling over congested urban roads, competing for curbside parking and contributing to increasing vehicle emissions. The opportunities include unprecedented access to data on commercial vehicle and goods transportation, advances in data science that enable sophisticated analytics and the CLUE partnership, which has the potential to translate research outcomes into practice. CLUE will address the challenges by investigating how new delivery models (crowd-shipping, cargo tricycles, mobile distribution centres, automated vehicles), new curbside loading zone technology, and lifting restrictions that prohibit late-night goods deliveries, for example, make the goods movement network more efficient and less impactful. CLUE will improve safety for drivers and other road users and reduce the public risks of exposure to hazardous materials and vehicle emissions. The transportation sector is the largest emitter, by sector, in Canada and emissions from freight trucks are rising notably faster than those of passenger vehicles. CLUE will investigate labour trends and the impacts of automation and technology to identify actions that will maintain and improve the efficiency of Canada's goods movement network and preserve and grow employment opportunities in this important sector. The outcomes of this research will thus have substantial economic, social and environmental benefits for Canada and Canadians.

COVID-19 危机充分证明了货物运输对加拿大经济和加拿大人民福祉的重要性。城市经济城市物流 (CLUE) 是麦克马斯特大学、多伦多大学和约克大学的研究人员与代表各级政府和多个行业合作伙伴的公共部门合作伙伴的合作成果。 CLUE 将解决城市货物运输趋势带来的一系列相互关联的挑战和机遇。 这些挑战包括满足消费者对在拥挤的城市道路上行驶的车辆当天送货上门的期望、争夺路边停车位以及导致车辆排放增加。 这些机遇包括前所未有地获取商用车辆和货物运输数据、实现复杂分析的数据科学进步以及有潜力将研究成果转化为实践的 CLUE 合作伙伴关系。 CLUE 将通过研究新的交付模式（人群运输、货运三轮车、移动配送中心、自动驾驶车辆）、新的路边装载区技术以及取消禁止深夜货物交付的限制等如何使货物交付来应对挑战。移动网络更高效、影响更小。 CLUE 将提高驾驶员和其他道路使用者的安全，并降低公众接触有害物质和车辆排放的风险。从部门来看，交通运输业是加拿大最大的排放源，货运卡车排放量的增长速度明显快于客车。 CLUE 将调查劳动力趋势以及自动化和技术的影响，以确定维持和提高加拿大货物运输网络效率并保留和增加这一重要部门就业机会的行动。因此，这项研究的成果将为加拿大和加拿大人带来巨大的经济、社会和环境效益。
