This paper presents a modelling approach to characterise private car shopping trips in a city logistics point of view, in order to connect these movements with those belonging to urban freight distribution in the supply chain. The proposed modelling framework is a two-step procedure articulated...

This paper presents the main issues related to the financing of urban logistics solutions, more precisely to the contribution of economic analysis on strategic decision support related for urban logistics financing, focusing on cost benefit analysis. First we present the main funding strategies...

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....

Cette communication a pour objet de proposer les résultats d'une simulation de l'application de différents scénarios d'évolution de la ville, visant à réduire des trois quarts l'impact des échanges de biens dans la ville sur la production de gaz à effet de serre. Les scénarios proposés...

This chapter introduces the book of homonymous title. It motivaites the development of the book and present the different visions of city/urban logistics. Moreover, all chapters are introduced and commented.

This chapter aims to investigate the contribution of GPS survey techniques for urban goods movement characterization, and to diagnosis the implementation and application issues related to the introduction of real-time data transmission procedures and phone tools with integrated GPS devices. We...

Multi-echelon distribution systems are quite common in supply-chain and logistic systems. They are used by public administrations in their transportation and traffic planning strategies as well as by companies to model their distribution systems. Unfortunately, the literature on com- binatorial...

Le transport urbain de marchandises est aujourd'hui un sujet d'actualité. Cet article dresse un panorama du programme nationale marchandises en ville, initié en 1994, à travers les principaux acteurs et leurs enjeux, en plus des enseignements des résultats des recherches issues de ce programme.

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...

Ce travail s'intéresse à la modélisation du transport de marchandises en ville dans une optique d'aide à la décision, plus précisément sur les problèmes de tournées de véhicules (PTV) en introduisant une nouvelle variante qui combine deux niveaux ou échelons dans une approche...
