Multi-echelon distribution schemes are one of the most common strategies adopted by the transport companies in an aim of cost reduction, but their identification in scientific literature is not always easy due to a lack of unification. This paper presents the main concepts of two-echelon...

La logistique urbaine est une discipline née dans les années 1990, avec pour objet de répondre aux questions qui se posent autour des nuisances provoquées par le transport de marchandises en ville. Très étudiée en termes de politiques publiques et de méthodes d'aide à la décision...

In this paper, a modelling framework to complete the recent scientific works on urban goods modelling is proposed. More precisely, we introduce a substitution procedure that estimates the number of trips and the corresponding travelled distances for shopping drive, home delivery and reception...

In logistics, freight transportation is a major source of income in a country's economy. One of the most popular strategies is logistics sharing, which is a complex problem due to the involved stakeholders. Moreover, the current several transport operations are extremely expensive due to the...

This chapter of a collective book aims at presenting the basics of decision making under risk. We first define notions of risk and increasing risk and recall definitions and classifications (that are valid independently of any representation) of behavior under risk. We then review the classical...

The aim of this paper is two-fold : first, to emphasize that the seminal result of Dow and Werlang [7] remains valid under weaker conditions, and this even if non-positive prices are considered, or equally that the no-trade interval result is robust when considering assets which can yield...

This paper is concerned with real valued set functions defined on the set of Borel sets of a locally compact σ-compact topological space Ω. The first part characterizes the strong and weak impatience in the context of discrete and continuous time flows of income (consumption) valued through a...

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....

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 chapiter of a collective book is dedicated to classical decision models under uncertainty, i.e. under situations where events do not have "objective" probabilities with which the Decision Marker agrees. We present successively the two main theories, their axiomatic, the interpretation and...
