Abstract

In the field of logistics, the examination of urban concentrated sets of delivery points (e.g. shopping malls or markets) is an important, new area. In these sets, there is a relatively large number of stores with significant goods traffic, which generate significant customer traffic, air and noise pollution, while their logistics systems are not properly designed. Despite all this, city logistics research does not specifically  target this field, there are no models that can be used to examine any kind of urban concentrated sets of delivery points. Earlier, only few subsystems have been examined, so we started to study and model the concentrated sets of delivery points generally. As a first step in our research project, we collected data about concentrated sets of delivery points, and this data made it possible to start the simulation modelling and to develop new solutions.
