Maritime freight has gained popularity among researchers and practitioners due to its cost efficiency eco-friendly nature. It was initially developed for cargo transfer, but widespread adoption made it the backbone of global economy. Despite favourable nature, some serious negative effects have attracted attention scholars. Therefore, present study reviews extensive literature available on mari...

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are aimed to provide a comprehensive framework for all economies /industries work toward more prosperous and environmentally friendly future. Maritime transport its subsectors like Inland Waterway Transportation (IWT) needed attain most SDGs. Thus, it must raise awareness of how the marine industry, sub-sectors, scientific research contribute SDG achieve...

Reports on the Chair for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)–Sustainable Transport Logistics 4.0 at Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU).

The concept of Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) describes a technology-enabled shared mobility service that has flexible operating schedule and/or provides virtual stops routes. While these on-demand services are not new, the developments in communication and tracking technology (vehicle positioning systems) have revived past decade. benefits adopting demand responsive transport for intra-comm...

This research examines the effectiveness of transportation-sector public-private partnerships (PPPs). Coordination across sectors is needed to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. PPPs are interest transportation firms, but they may prefer private-sector opportunities given that working with public sector can present challenges. However, challenges not clear and, therefore, t...

The deployment of more sustainable land transportation is a non-debatable global issue. It is generally agreed that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) will play the role of the main enabler to achieve the ambitious objective of improving transportation efficiency, thus reducing pollution, time and resource wastage, and accidents. In this chapter, after briefly introducing the genera...

In recent years, freight transportation emerged as a key factor in the development and dynamicity of countries, although it has a considerably impact on urban areas, due to the environmental issues. In this context, several stakeholders have implemented City Logistics solutions in order to make transportation more sustainable and efficient. This paper proposes a case study concerning the collab...
