“…However, when analyzing different concepts for urban logistics using UAVs focusing on their performance in Serbia, [46] identified a new concept in which UAVs show the best results. The concept is a three-step process; first, goods are delivered by a vehicle/truck to a logistics center outside the city.…”

“…From there, consolidated delivery takes place to a microconsolidation center inside the city, from which UAVs perform the final delivery to the receiver. To determine the performance of the UAVs, the factors of delivery cost, distance traveled by the ground vehicle, delivery completion time, CO 2 emissions, number of vehicle trips, and loading space utilization of the ground vehicle were taken into account [46] (p. 456). Concerning emissions, 37.37g CO 2 /km was assumed for UAVs (electricity generation) while for a full commercial vehicle, the estimation was 305 g CO 2 /km (see NTM, 2018 in [46]).…”

The implementation of autonomous delivery solutions in last-mile logistics operations is considered promising. Autonomous delivery solutions can help in tackling urban challenges related to last-mile logistics operations. Urbanization creates higher mobility and transportation demand, which contributes to increased congestion levels, traffic, air pollution, and accident rates. Moreover, mega-trends, such as e-commerce, demand that logistics companies react to increased customer expectations in terms of delivery time and service. Concerning service, electrified autonomous delivery solutions have the potential to operate 24/7 and can help to overcome driver shortages. This paper conducts a systematic literature review. Based on the literature set, a snowballing procedure was applied. Complementary gray literature was included. This work discusses different autonomous delivery solutions such as Autonomous Delivery Robots (ADRs), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), two- or multi-tiered systems, and the concept of passenger and freight integration. The work presents advantages and disadvantages, enabling the comparison of solutions. Furthermore, a research agenda is provided, from which practical-managerial and theoretical implications can be derived. The research agenda can help researchers, manufacturers, businesses, and governmental institutions to prepare for the arrival and subsequent implementation of autonomous delivery services. Various implications related to energy demand, legislation, implementation strategy, training, and risk and safety are presented. The outcome of this work calls for collaboration among various stakeholders, encourages mutual learning, and hints at the importance of national and international development projects.

“…There is a growing body of research that focuses on defining, analyzing, and the assessment of potentia-lly sustainable CL concepts. The article [31] analyzes a wide set of performances of different drone-based CL concepts for goods delivery, while the article [32] ranks the sustainability drone-based CL concepts. CL concepts that consider the characteristics of urban areas and the environment are analyzed in [19].…”

The sustainability of urban areas is for decades a controversial point in the issues of sustainable development. Inefficient realization of logistics activities in urban areas results in numerous negative effects on sustainability. Especially unsustainable consequences are those of the dominant road transportation role in urban goods delivery. Achieving sustainability at a micro-level is possible only with the planning of city logistics (CL) systems through the development of different logistics centres categories, flow consolidation, cooperation, and intensive application of alternative transportation modes. The planning of CL systems is a complex task that involves several stakeholders with complex interrelationships and conflicting goals. This article indicates the importance of CL planning in achieving local, micro sustainability. Main stakeholders, criteria, and CL concepts are described in the article. In accordance with the existing literature in the field, new technologies, and approaches, seven potentially sustainable CL concepts are defined.

“…Some of the most analysed in the literature, and thus the ones that make the basis for the establishment of the SSCLs in this article, are cooperation and flow consolidation (e.g. [10][11][12][13][14]), eco-vehicles (e.g. [15] and small delivery vehicles (e.g.…”

The negative effects of goods flows realisation are most visible in urban areas as the places of the greatest concentration of economic and social activities. The main goals of this article were to identify the applicable Industry 4.0 technologies for performing various city logistics (CL) operations, establish smart sustainable CL solutions (SSCL) and rank them in order to identify those which will serve as the base points for future plans and strategies for the development of smart cities. This kind of problem requires involvement of multiple stakeholders with their opposing goals and interests, and thus multiple criteria. For solving it, this article proposed a novel hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model, based on BWM (Best-Worst Method) and CODAS (COmbinative Distance-based ASsessment) methods in grey environment. The results of the model application imply that the potentially best SSCL solution is based on the combination of the concepts of micro-consolidation centres and autonomous vehicles with the support of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies. The main contributions of the article are the definition of original SSCLs, the creation of a framework and definition of criteria for their evaluation and the development of a novel hybrid MCDM model.
