ICT, IoT. AI, AVs, and robots, can be used with data to model, plan and evaluate an efficient and sustainable urban freight transport system, using tools such as the Physical Internet and dynamic road pricing. With global case studies this forms a graduate textbook and a reference for urban planning and logistics management practitioners.
