Abstrakt: Contemporary supply chains require logistics facilities that have a much larger footprint than traditional warehouses. Due to the shortage of available land in cities, many of those logistics facilities have been developed in the suburbs. Practitioners and researchers alike are concerned about the inefficiency of the spatial distribution of logistics facilities and the associated traffic impacts. This study focuses on multi-story, multi-tenant facilities (MMF) that are for-lease facilities which are usually extremely large with multiple-story structures. We use the framework of the agent-based urban freight simulator to evaluate the impact of truck traffic associated with the MMFs.
