Review: This book focuses on innovations in the modern freight transport systems used primarily in urban areas. Many of these innovations are associated with the application of advanced information communication technologies (ICT) and intelligent transport systems (ITS). These help shippers develop more efficient and reliable freight transport systems. There are chapters on: ITS; vehicle routing and scheduling; intermodal freight transport; transport demand management; underground freight transport systems; third-party logistics in supply chain management; e-commerce; and future trends in freight transportation.
