Modelling of freight transport flows in urban transport [PDF]
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, Vol 89, 2006 The topological structure of a regional urban road transport system was synthesized and the optimization-simulation procedure of topological structure was proposed. The synthesis of the topological structure of regional urban road transport freight systems enables an assessment of the impact of various structural characteristics on the functionality of
