City logistics solutions have been implemented in many cities in a number of countries around the world. This chapter presents the simulation of an urban logistics solution in a North American city. It also presents the different types of models used in urban areas for goods movement simulations. The chapter evaluates the efficiency of using an urban consolidation center (UCC) solution in the Montreal area to reduce truck flows on the road. It provides the results of the simulations of different scenarios using the modified model and compares them to the initial situation. Using only interregional truck flows, the results show that the use of a UCC could reduce trucking in the central parts of the metropolitan area. Even under a pessimistic scenario, a significant number of empty trucks are removed from the road, and the truck traffic decreases in the densest parts of the metropolitan area.
