Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Making transportation sustainable is an aspiration of every company and country. However, in order to ensure the basic principle of “just in time” logistics, it is necessary to evaluate many factors related to route planning, customer needs, and other transportation-related issues. In this case, sustainable transportation is inseparable from timely logistical supply chain management, where the most important indicator is the appropriate selection of modes of transport, as well as the successful organization and management of the entire transportation process. This principle of sustainable transportation also includes the concept of green logistics, where sustainable solutions are aimed at saving the environment and available resources. In order to realize set goals in sustainable transportation, it is necessary to apply innovative managerial and organizational solutions related to the optimization of activities, risk management, and the modelling of certain situations or tasks.
Therefore, this Special Issue on “Sustainable Transportation: Logistics and Route Network Aspects—2nd Edition” will aim to collate the most relevant research on this topic.
We invite you to contribute to this issue by providing detailed reviews, case studies, or research articles. Articles selected for this Special Issue are subject to a rigorous peer-review process to allow for rapid and wide dissemination of research findings, developments, and applications.
