“…Kelle et al [53] evaluated the operational and environmental sustainability trade-offs in multimodal freight transportation planning. They built a system-level intermodal simulation model that includes highways, railways, and waterways and also, evaluated the performance of the freight network under different scenarios and measured the benefits of mode changes evaluating the trade-off between environmental goals and other performance measures.…”

This paper presents a detailed comparative review of cost models and cost factors published in a number of studies on freight transportation. It attempts to determine and categorise cost factors from a different point of views in the reviewed studies which include cost factors (operational costs, value of time and external costs), study area (Europe, the United States, North America and Asia) and cost models (activity-based costing (ABC), statistical models, surveys, data mining, GIS, meta-analysis and Mathematical models). The results are assessed by comparison with the reviewed studies. The paper also proposed two model structures; (1) Road freight transportation costs and (2) Road freight transportation cost estimating methods and data gathering. These models are designed to identify any gaps between the types of cost or any inconsistencies in cost factors and consist of an overall structure and multiple substructures.

“…Compared with G&SL in urban domain, the sustainability issues regarding inter-city or regional logistics are more emphasized on the intermodal application. The shift of road-based modal to other transportation system, such as rail and water has the potentials of ensuring environmental sustainability, flexibility, and cost reduction [17]. However, despite the encouragement by the government, the practice of intermodal transport is still in a preliminary stage due to the difficulties of infrastructure investment [103].…”

Ever-growing globalization and industrialization put forward impending requirements for green and sustainable logistics (G&SL). Over the past decades, G&SL initiatives triggered worldwide deliberations, aiming at easing negative transport externalities and improving supply chain performance. This review-based paper attempts to offer a joint quantitative and qualitative understanding for the overall evolutionary trend, knowledge structure, and literature gaps of the G&SL research field. Employing the science mapping approach, a total of 306 major paper published from 1999 to 2019 were retrieved, elaborated on, and synthesized. Visualized statistics regarding publication years, journal allocation/co-citation, inter-country/institution collaboration, influential articles, co-occurred keywords, and time view clusters of research themes were analyzed bibliographically. On this basis, a total of 50 sub-branches of G&SL knowledge were classified and thematically discussed based on five alignments, namely (i) social-environmental-economic research, (ii) planning, policy and management, (iii) application and practice, (iv) technology, and (v) operations research. Finally, the current knowledge obstacles and the future research opportunities were suggested. The findings contribute to portray a systematic intellectual prospect for the state quo, hotspots, and academic frontiers of G&SL research. Moreover, it provides researchers and practitioners with heuristic thoughts to govern transportation ecology and logistics service quality.

“…India comes third after the China and US in the largest global greenhouse gases emitter ranking (Timperley 2019). Also, transportation activities are the major causes of air pollution which have harmful effects on human health (Kelle 2019;Wang et al 2011). Globally freight transport typically contributes 80-90% for transportationrelated carbon-emission (McKinnon 2010).…”

Growing food demand, environmental degradation, post-harvest losses and the dearth of resources encourage the decision makers from developing nations to integrate the economic and environmental aspects in food supply chain network design. This paper aims to develop a bi-objective decision support model for sustainable food grain supply chain distribution system considering an entire network of procurement centres, central, state and district level warehouses, and fair price shops. The model seeks to minimize the cost and carbon dioxide emission simultaneously. The model covers several problem peculiarities such as multi-echelon, multi-period, multi-modal transportation, emission caused due to various motives, heterogeneous capacitated vehicles and limited availability, multiple sourcing and distribution, and capacitated warehouses. Several different realistic problem instances are solved using the two Pareto based multi-objective algorithms. Sensitivity analysis results imply that the decision makers should establish the sufficient number of warehouses in each producing and consuming states by maintaining the suitable balance between the two objectives. Multiple policymakers like Food Corporation of India, logistics providers and state government agencies will be benefited from this research study.
