Preface
The importance of green logistics to society and to competitive advantage continues to grow. Hence, industry and decision-makers have growing interest in improving the environmental aspects of transportation, one of the most important components of logistics and economic activity in the world. Despite the recent work in this field, the operational research side has remained weak. To that effect, the book proposes new optimization models suitable for green-vehicle routing problems, providing critical new perspectives of smart cities. These models are developed with respect to the economy and the logistics of supply chains. Many variants of routing problems and different solution approaches including heuristics and metaheuristics are motivated by the impact of the solution on the environment and on human health. Solving related problems using optimization techniques and developing new models of network to access this energetic target have become a priority. This book presents recent works that analyse general issues of green l
