DORED – an original program for limiting and regulating the access of delivery vehicles within the city, was developed after an analysis of current traffic to retail outlets in Wrocław. The goal of the program is to develop a methodology for organizing the traffic of delivery vehicles supplying retail outlets in selected districts, blocks, and designated areas of the city, with a view to minimizing the external impact on the natural environment.
In order to systematize knowledge regarding the handling of deliveries to retail outlets in the city, pilot studies of the DORED program were conducted in the Przedmieście Świdnickie area of Wrocław, bounded by the streets: Kołłątaja, Stawowa, Bogusławskiego, Kolejowa, Prosta, Grabiszyńska, Sądowa, and Podwale. To collect information, a 16-question survey was developed regarding the functioning of deliveries in this area of the city. The questions concerned private parking spaces, delivery vehicle parking locations, vehicle type, type of loading units, delivery batch sizes, delivery frequency, delivery times, and comments regarding the organization of delivery vehicle traffic to a given retail outlet.
The survey research was conducted between May and June 2004 by 9 students from the Student Scientific Circle.
When asked about the type of supply vehicle, the majority (117) of outlets are served by delivery vehicles from 0.5 t to 3.5 t, and the rest by passenger vehicles, vehicles from 3.5 t, and larger trucks up to 42 t. Most of these vehicles do not have self-unloading equipment. Only in 12 outlets was it found that vehicles were equipped with such devices, mainly tail lifts.
