hand, studies of freight mobility traditionally focus only on restocking flows and neglect the linkage with shopping activities, ignoring in this way the impact that freight flows have on location of freight facilities (e.g. warehouses, distribution centres) and shops, and on end consumer’s shopping choices. Starting from these considerations, the paper presents a method to simulate and assess spatial scenarios able to optimize city sustainability and meet the interests of end-consumers and freight operators. In particular, the paper provides insights on the interrelations among the distribution of freight facilities, shopping mobility and location of freight facilities by presenting a system of simulation models. The results of an application of this method to a test site are also reported and discussed.

Abstract
hand, studies of freight mobility traditionally focus only on restocking flows and neglect the linkage with shopping activities, ignoring in this way the impact that freight flows have on location of freight facilities (e.g. warehouses, distribution centres) and shops, and on end consumer’s shopping choices. Starting from these considerations, the paper presents a method to simulate and assess spatial scenarios able to optimize city sustainability and meet the interests of end-consumers and freight operators. In particular, the paper provides insights on the interrelations among the distribution of freight facilities, shopping mobility and location of freight facilities by presenting a system of simulation models. The results of an application of this method to a test site are also reported and discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
