Collaborative transportation and logistics pooling are relatively new concepts in research, but are very popular in practice. In the last years, collaborative transportation seems a good city logistics alternative to classical urban consolidation centres, but it is still in a development stage....

The deployment of urban logistics solutions is one of the main pending questions in the field of urban goods transport research and practice. Indeed, although several solutions and projects have been tested in the last years, only few of them reach an operational phase and remain viable in time....

This paper proposes a comparison between genetic and semi-greedy algorithms for a collaborative VRP in city logistics. In order to compare the performance of both algorithms on real-size test cases, we develop a cluster-first route second algorithm. The clustering phase is made by a seep...

Freight transportation constitutes one of the main activities that influences economy and society, as it assures a vital link between suppliers and customers and it represents a major source of employment. Multi-echelon distribution is one of the most common strategies adopted by the...

Ce document est une première tentative de en perspective les flux de transport de marchandises avec le fonctionnement de la ville et la morphologie urbaine, à travers les différentes étapes franchies au cours de ces vingt dernières années en termes de méthode et d'outils de connaissance...

This paper aims to unify concepts and to describe the multi-stage transport systems and their integratyion to supply chain management. Multi-stage distribution systems are common logistics management, and often they are assimilated to multi-stage transport strategies. However, transport is often...

Ce rapport a pour objectif de présenter la méthodologie et les résultats de la phase 2 du projet FIDES, dont la phase 1 a permis d'identifier les leviers possibles et les trois filières les plus porteuses en termes de potentiel de changement. En partant des résultats obtenus en phase 1,...

This deliverable contains the cost-benefit analysis results (CBA) for the piloted services in order to feed the Business Model discussions. First, a brief description of the method and the main hypotheses are shown. Then, each single system is presented, making several CBA analyses...

Dans cet article, nous proposons une lecture critique du développement des espaces logistiques urbaines dans l'Europe du Sud Ouest. Nous focalisons l'attention sur les Centres de distribution urbaine (CDU) et sur les espaces logistiques de proximité (ELP). Nous orientons l'étude vers une...

This chapter aims to be a guide for researchers and practitioners on choosing the most suitable approach to deal with a target or goal in terms of urban goods public decision support, and to integrate them into transport plans. First, an overview of urban goods stakes and goals of public...
