Numeric, spatialised models for the simulation of freight transport demand have long been inspired by the models for passenger demand. However, in recent years, specific methods have been developped to represent some aspects that are specific to freight transport, including the relationship between freight transport and logistics, and the specific techniques used to carry merchandises. These recent advances are presented, with a distinction of supply oriented models, demand oriented models, and equilibrium models. assessment oif
