Abstract

Sustainable development with its dimensions, economic, ecological, and social is a central concept in terms of the quality of life. The urban freight transport UFT, while contributing to the creation of wealth and economic development of large agglomerations, is at the origin of negative externalities, such as pollution, noise and road accidents. The purpose of this work is to challenge the role of UFT in traffic accidents. We seek to determine its extent against to other forms of transport in urban areas, the nature of the accidents caused, the types of vehicles and goods involved, the zones and the schedules of the losses as well as the damage and their scale. Our methodology is based on the analysis of statistical data at the international level and is evolves over the last two decades.
