Abstract

AbstractWithin a city, the logistics are always related to the commercial activities and do not take into account the occurrence of an emergency. This study aims to change the mindset that the use of a distribution center is merely commercial, and proposing find a secondary use related to humanitarian logistics aspects. The novel of the study is the combination of humanitarian logistics with new urban logistics strategies, through mathematical modeling.
