Sustainable Transportation and Smart Logistics: Decision-Making Models and Solutions

Sustainable Transportation and Smart Logistics: Decision-Making Models and Solutions provides deterministic and probabilistic models for transportation logistics problem-solving and decision-making.

The book begins with an overview of the intersections between sustainability, transportation, and logistics. It then describes the current problems in implementing sustainable transportation and smart logistics in urban settings. The book then provides models for addressing complex structural problems, connecting numerous objectives from a multi-criteria perspective. It presents procedures for estimating transportation externalities such as environmental and social impacts, both in industrial and government arenas. The book then turns to decision-making models from operational, tactical, and strategic management perspectives, concluding with a look at best practices for practical corporate policy implementation.
