The transportation sector has traditionally been considered essential for commercial activities, although nowadays, it presents clear negative impacts on the environment and can reduce social welfare. Thus, advanced optimization techniques are required to design sustainable routes with low logistic costs. Moreover, these may be significantly increased as a consequence of lack synergy between sustainability objectives. Correspondingly, concept transport in smart cities is becoming popular both real world academia when public decision making lit by operations research models. In this paper, however, we argue that level urban smartness depends its information communication technologies developed city. Therefore, models seek achieve higher threshold standards cities. present generic definition city, which includes triple bottom line sustainability, purpose analyzing effects city performance.
