Problems and Proposed Solutions to Improve Freight Transportation, Case Study

Abstract

Transportation is not just about getting from point A to point B, it's about coordination, accuracy and trust. The transport of goods is an integral part of the city's economy and is a prerequisite for sustainable urban life, but it causes a number of negative effects on the environment followed by air pollution and increased noise. The problems arising from road freight transport are constantly overlooked. The subject of analysis in this paper is the city of Bitola. We are witnessing the daily intertwining of different streams of goods, materials and cargo through the city's street network. To meet the needs of the inhabitants, the following supplies of goods are present: trade goods, finished products, semi-finished products, raw materials, building materials, consignments, secondary raw materials, waste and the like. With the help of a month-long survey of truck drivers in the territory of the city of Bitola, we learned about the problems they face. Based on this as a conclusion, a proposal is given for measures to improve the delivery of goods and the general flow of traffic.
