This paper surveys the vehicle routing problems met in cities for good distribution. It applies the following methodology. First, it gives an overview of the literature devoted to vehicle route optimization in cities. Then, it classifies and analyses urban logistic flows. As a result, it identifies the principal scientific challenges that need to be addressed: time-dependency, multi-level and multi-trip organization of the distribution, dynamic information. Finally, it focuses on each one of these challenges, analyses the main difficulties they imply and how they are treated in the literature.

- 50th Anniversary Invited Article - City Logistics: Challenges and Opportunities (2016, background): “From these centers, the freight is then forwarded into the city with clean and highly utilized vehicles (Taniguchi and van der Heijden 2000; Quak 2009; Cattaruzza et al. 2015).”
- Collaborative urban transportation: Recent advances in theory and practice (2019, background): “As UCCs are typically located at the city border, smaller, often environment-friendly vehicles take over the transport of goods on the last mile to the final recipient (Taniguchi and Van Der Heijden, 2000; Quak and de Koster, 2009; Cattaruzza et al., 2015).”
