Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to frontiers in sustainable logistics and transportation and their current trends, challenges, and management of sustainability. Logistics and transport are the key factors in achieving the aims of sustainable development. They make a significant contribution to meeting the goals of sustainable development, in terms of economic development, industry, and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as trade and investment. At the same time, logistics and transport help to achieve the aims of sustainable development, which include supporting the life quality. In addition, transport and logistics present many challenges around the aims of sustainable development, such as the environment, the improvement of transport and logistics systems, and transport and logistics safety. It must be emphasized that innovation, digitization, and sustainability are key factors for success in logistics and transport. In particular, this Special Issue is seeking papers focused on challenges in logistics and transport, current trends in logistics and transport, their challenges, and also management of sustainability. The proposed papers should have an international context and should contribute cutting-edge studies in the relevant fields. The SI welcomes both theoretical and empirical papers on these topics. In addition, public sector analysis and logistics and transport planning papers are most welcome. The papers should be targeted at the academic community as well as practitioners, such as developers, planners, and officers to increase understanding of the frontiers in sustainable logistics and transportation.
Suitable topics include but are not limited to:
- Innovative trends in sustainable logistics and transport;
- Current trends in the digitization of logistics and transport;
- Innovative information systems and application of smart technologies within logistics processes;
- Advances of simulation in logistics and transport;
- Practical application of logistics and transport processes;
- Impact of transport and logistics to the environment;
- Solution of ecological issues of logistics and transport;
- Cost–benefit analysis in the context of sustainable logistics and transport.
