Toward Sustainable Urban Distribution Using City Canals: The Case of Amsterdam
This chapter investigates whether a system of hub locations distributing goods across the water to the city of Amsterdam can be a potential future solution to guarantee same‐day delivery to shopkeepers. It explores the literature on (the simulation of) city logistics (waterborne transport). The chapter addresses the demarcation and definition of the conceptual model. It presents the second step of the paradigm, the specification of a simulation model. The chapter describes the verification and validation of the models. It also describes the last step of the paradigm showing the results of the experiments with different fleet sizes and locations of the transshipment hubs. The chapter concludes that a waterborne city logistics concept with a small number of hub locations can compete with truck deliverance and seems to be a sustainable solution for other cities with large canals as well.
