Abstract
Urban freight transport has hardly prompted any modelling efforts when compared to passenger cars and public transport, which is mainly due to the lack of available data and the complexity of the delivery route patterns and the involved decision making. We present some models which might be available for the Metropolitan District of Quito, within this research we analysed the characteristics of the city in the context of geography, urban freight transport fleet, emissions of the trucks fleet, and at the end the recommendation of a model that can be adapted in Quito.
