Due to the significant complexity of the problem, the article presents selected elements of the developed VRPC method and the results of analyses conducted so far. It describes an attempt to develop a method allowing for the efficient determination of transport plans in urban areas in a dynamic manner, which will contribute to more effective vehicle management in urban agglomerations. The article contains theoretical analyses of the problem and the results of the research carried out.INTRODUCTION
The goal of urban logistics, when analyzing only the aspect of freight transport, is to mitigate and resolve conflicts resulting from the functioning of cargo flows in the city. The problem of urban logistics is described in Polish literature:
Gołembska E. (2010), Jacyna M. (2009), Szołtysek J. (2007), Fijałkowski J. (2008) without indicating precise solutions for the efficient organization and determination of transport plans in highly urbanized areas. The problem of urban logistics is presented in a slightly different way in foreign literature: Morris A.G., Russo F, Tundys B (2008), Crainic (2007), Ricciardi, Nicoletta; Storchi, Woudsma (2008), Clarence (2008);
Jensen, John F.; Kanaroglou, Pavlos; Maoh, however, even in this case, there is a lack of clear solutions for determining transport plans in urban areas. In the case of the issue of determining VRPTW (Vehicle Routing Problem Time (…)
