Abstract
This paper presents the results of a multi-agent modelling approach for evaluating urban goods distribution in a vulnerability situation. We analyse the impact of floods on urban freight transport. The model is based on stakeholders' relationships and behaviours and the results are presented with regard to the environmental and financial impacts. The consistency of the theoretical and analytical routines used was checked with the simulation results. The results showed the benefits of using multi-agent modelling analysis to reduce impacts on urban freight transport in flooding situations.
