Urban logistics is becoming more complicated and costlier due to new
challenges in recent years. Since the main problem lies on congestion, the
clean vehicle is not necessarily the most effective solution. There is thus a
need to redesign the logistics networks in the city. This paper proposes a
methodology to evaluate different distribution schemes in the city among which
we find the most efficient and sustainable one. External impacts are added to
the analysis of schemes, including accident, air pollution, climate change,
noise, and congestion. An optimization model based on an analytical model is
developed to optimize transportation means and distribution schemes. Results
based on Bordeaux city show that PI scheme improves the performances of
distribution
