Call for Papers Special issue on 'Transportation and Logistics with Autonomous Technologies'

摘要

The development of autonomous technologies, such as self-driving cars and unmanned vessels, is progressing at a fast pace. While design and safety concerns have been the focus of debate around these new technologies, recent research is also concerned about their implications in transport operations and logistics. This special issue welcomes articles on transportation and logistics with autonomous technologies, covering a broad range of aspects such as transportation of goods and passengers, distribution networks, material handling, and warehousing. The call is open to autonomous technologies in a broad sense, including fully autonomous and partially autonomous systems. Thus, for example, operations with unmanned vehicles remotely controlled, management of fleets mixing both autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles, and coordination between robots and human workers in warehouses are also relevant.
