A modelling system to link end-consumers and distribution logistics

Abstract

In the last years the interest in urban freight mobility has increased. However, the management and control of urban freight transport requires models which simulate the transport system. In literature some models have been analysed and implemented with tools which allow the verification of the measures adopted in several cities around the world. In paper a review of measures implemented in some cities to reduce the negative effects of urban freight transport, an updated review of models developed to analyse urban freight mobility and the tools used to verify and check the proposed measures are presented. Finally the modelling system to link endconsumer and distribution logistics is described.
