Logistics and transportation are a complex set of entities and systems interconnected by many physical, financial, and information flows, and, as with all systems, there are optimization and planning issues. In addition, they are subject to economic, social, and especially environmental pressures with the need to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. There is a need for original research to address these issues. Transport and Logistics Planning and Optimization addresses selected transportation and logistics problems at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels in a multidisciplinary approach, not only from a technological perspective but also from a social science perspective. Covering key topics such as supply chain, urban transportation, artificial intelligence, and computer science, this premier reference source is ideal for policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, instructors, and students.
