Abstract
In city logistics, service providers have to consider dynamics within logistics processes in order to
achieve higher schedule reliability and delivery flexibility. To this end, city logistics routing demands for
time-dependent travel time estimates and time-dependent optimization models. We consider the process
of allocation and application of empirical traffic data for time-dependent vehicle routing in city logistics
with respect to its usage. Telematics based traffic data collection and the conversion from raw empirical
traffic data into information models are discussed. A city logistics scenario points out the applicability of
the information models provided, which are based on huge amounts of real traffic data (FCD). Thus, the
benefits of time-dependent planning in contrast to common static planning methods can be demonstrated.
