Although society has become increasingly dependent on the timely
operation of logistics systems, we still face many problems
regarding efficiency, the environment, energy consumption, and
safety in urban transport and logistics under normal cases and in
disasters. As such, understanding how to address these challenges
has become essential for creating better urban planning and policy
implementation.
Presenting the best practices of leading experts from around the
world, Urban Transportation and Logistics: Health, Safety, and
Security Concerns provides cutting-edge concepts and a vision for
urban transport and logistics relating to human security. Its
comprehensive coverage supplies the foundation for examining
transport and logistics systems in urban areas from the viewpoint
of safety and security considerations on human life. Topics covered
include:
- Hazardous material transport
- Healthy transport
- Road safety
- Network design for freight transport and supply chain
- Transport and logistics in Asian cities
- Vehicle routing and scheduling with uncertainty
- Urban transport and logistics in natural disasters
- Future perspectives on urban freight transport
The book addresses Information and Communication Technologies
(ICT) and Intelligent Transport System (ITS) applications within
urban logistics. It considers supply chains, road safety in
hazardous material transport, and logistics and transport design in
mixed traffic areas. It also introduces the notion of the
megalopolis and the need for improved planning relative to human
usage, freight transportation, and city logistic planning.
This book provides numerous examples and case studies of real-world
scenarios from around the world, making it useful for both
practitioners and researchers involved in urban transport and
logistics planning."
