Abstract:
This study addresses the spatial constraints posed by urbanization and population growth in cities. It evaluates different types of urban consolidation centers to improve urban logistics. Design parameters are identified through literature review, and an evaluation methodology is developed. Simulation models are created for each center type, integrating the evaluation approach. The approach is validated in a case study in Munich, using real-life data. Simulation results analyze key performance indicators and provide recommendations for optimizing logistics and economic aspects in urban consolidation center planning. Efficient options include roll containers, electric pallet trucks, Last In – First Out storage, and gloves with integrated identification devices.
