8 Conclusion
This chapter proposed the methodology of the FRETURB model for urban goods
movement diagnosis. It is composed of four main modules: inter-establishment
movement estimation, end-consumer movement estimation, urban management
flow generation and environmental issue simulation. It is currently used in more
than 20 cities (in France and Switzerland) for policy and planning decision support
and has also been applied to Belgian and Italian cities. The model is able to
estimate the impacts of urban goods movement with current configurations;
however, simulating urban policies requires further developments which are in
progress. These include an establishment generator, so that the method can be
applied to cities that lack the required data, a scenario simulator, a proximity
deliveries simulator, a route construction and substitution procedure and a map-
ping module.
