Abstract

The chapter examines the critical role of transport logistics in the supply chain, highlighting the need for planning and analysis to optimize cargo transportation processes. It discusses the integration of information technologies and modern innovations to enhance efficiency and sustainability, aligning with European Union directives on green logistics. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as on-time delivery, cost per kilometer, and inventory turnover are emphasized for monitoring and improving logistics performance. The text delves into the challenges faced by the logistics sector, including environmental sustainability, regulatory changes, cargo security, and driver shortages. Innovative solutions such as electric vehicles, alternative fuels, and autonomous trucks are explored as strategies to reduce the environmental impact and improve operational efficiency. The chapter also discusses the use of predictive algorithms and artificial intelligence to optimize fleet management and enhance decision-making processes. Expert evaluations and quantitative studies are presented to identify the most important factors for improving the cargo transportation process, providing valuable insights for stakeholders seeking to enhance their logistics operations.
