Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of the world economy and international trade, the transportation industry has become the artery of modern society. The soaring volume of transportation inevitably leads to the problem of exhaust materials and other byproducts. Given the ever-increasing attention to social welfare, sustainability has been recognized as one of the major concerns in transportation and logistics. This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to this theme, including waste management, vehicle operation, supply chain management, green transportation, green logistics, regulation design, etc.
We are pleased to invite researchers to submit their latest research on the above topics. We are looking for novel, original, and innovative approaches solving relevant problems. Submissions presenting new applications, theoretical results, and new models are welcome.
