The proposed Canada Research Chair in Freight Transportation and Logistics will develop a policy analysis tool that simulates behaviour of business establishments in urban areas and the urban freight transportation that results from their activities. The research develops state-of-the-art techniques in agent-based simulation, and establishes new understanding of strategic decisions made by firms such as location choice and supply chain formation, as well as tactical logistics operations such as vehicle routing. The tool will be useful for assessing economic, environmental and social impacts of public sector policies that influence urban business operations and commercial vehicle movements.

拟议的加拿大货运和物流研究主席将开发一种政策分析工具，模拟城市地区商业机构的行为及其活动所产生的城市货运。该研究开发了最先进的基于代理的模拟技术，并建立了对企业战略决策的新理解，如地点选择和供应链形成，以及战术物流操作，如车辆路线。该工具将有助于评估影响城市商业运作和商业车辆流动的公共部门政策的经济、环境和社会影响。
