Application of Decision-Making Approaches under Uncertainty for Sustainable Transport

Dear Colleagues,

Today, modern transport serves diverse geographical locations because the places of production and consumption are in different locations, very often with long distances between them. In such conditions, the whole transport system is exposed to uncertainty, vagueness, and, in some cases, imprecision. This is especially expressed  by trends toward performing activities in a sustainable way and when the geographical locations connected by transport are very remote. Sustainable transport requires adequate and timely decision making in order to improve quality and ensure efficiency. Multi-criteria decision making appears as one of the most important fields of operational research in the last 15 years, with newly developed methods and uncertainty approaches. There are various criteria that need to be considered to address the problems in sustainable transportation, which can be crucial for the overall sustainability in logistics and sustainable supply chains. In this regard, theories such as fuzzy set theory, neutrosophic theory, rough set, and uncertainty theory can provide real-time solutions to uncertainty problems. 

We invite authors to submit the original research articles which propose novel decision/making models considering transport.
