Abstract :
The role of travel behavior of private cars in the vehicle routing schemes in city logistics distribution is investigated in this paper. A mixed logit model has been established to account for the influence of travel behavior to logistics distribution. A numerical study is conducted to understand the influence of the vehicle routing schemes in city logistics distribution.
