Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the increasing environmental changes, the potential economic benefits and the health crisis, logistics companies are devoted to seeking a sustainable development. Consequently, today, many managers are working hard to optimise their transport networks in a sustainable framework. In recent years, many new technologies have appeared, which are expected to pave the way for credible solutions to the problem of constructing sustainable transport networks. Various studies in both practice and academia have tackled the issue of sustainable transport and have developed, for example, drones and electric vehicles networks, connection and communication techniques, new optimization algorithms and transport machine learning. Considering the environmental constraints, more attention is needed to optimize future sustainable transport networks.
From this point of view, authors are invited to submit high-quality research papers pertaining to the optimization of sustainable transport networks. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Sustainable transport;
- Design and optimization of transport networks;
- Smart city;
- Sustainable logistics and delivery;
- Transport carbon footprint;
- Transport machine learning.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.
