Many strategic planning models have been developed to help decision making in city logistics. Such models do not take into account, or very few, the flow of passengers because the considered unit does not have the same nature (a person is active and a good is passive). However, it seems fundamental to gather the goods and the passengers in one model when their respective transports interact with each other. In this context, we suggest assessing a shared passengers & goods city logistics system where the spare capacity of public transport is used to distribute goods toward the city core. We model the problem as a vehicle routing problem with transfers and give a mathematical formulation. Then we propose an Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS) to solve it. This approach is evaluated on data sets generated following a field study in the city of La Rochelle in France.
