AN EVALUATION METHODOLOGY FOR CITY LOGISTICS. IN: TRANSPORT LOGISTICS
The paper presents a methodology for evaluating several city logistics initiatives using dynamic traffic simulation with optimal routing and scheduling. Several logistics initiatives have been proposed, such as: advanced information systems; cooperative freight transportation systems; public logistics terminals; load factor controls; and underground freight transportation systems. Three logistics systems were evaluated: introducing advanced routing and scheduling systems; implementing a cooperative freight transport system; and controlling the load factor of pickup/delivery trucks in urban areas. The main criterion for the evaluation used in this paper was carbon dioxide emissions produced by delivery vehicles when the demand for freight transport at customers was increased.
