Today, most cities have to deal with the large number of trucks and vans delivering goods in the urban area, balancing the economic viability of businesses located in the city against environmental sustainability. In this context, the paper recalls a general modeling system developed by the authors to support the ex-ante assessment of city logistics scenarios, and presents some developments carried out in order to investigate how city logistics measures can influence the pull movements carried out by end-consumers (i.e. in order to satisfy their goods needs) and retailers (i.e. in order to restock their shops).

Abstract
Today, most cities have to deal with the large number of trucks and vans delivering goods in the urban area, balancing the economic viability of businesses located in the city against environmental sustainability. In this context, the paper recalls a general modeling system developed by the authors to support the ex-ante assessment of city logistics scenarios, and presents some developments carried out in order to investigate how city logistics measures can influence the pull movements carried out by end-consumers (i.e. in order to satisfy their goods needs) and retailers (i.e. in order to restock their shops).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
