This research aims to help in establishing new legislative directives by testing their impact both on the company profits and on the life of city residents. A case study is developed and conducted in collaboration with the city hall and with eight companies (four freight transport companies and four retailer companies). The impacts are computed by simulating the companies operation under the new legislation and the new routes are used to analyze the impacts on the city traffic, noise, and congestion.
