Özet

Purpose: In today's rapidly expanding urban environments and accelerating urbanization processes, the efficient and sustainable management of urban logistics activities has become imperative. Urban freight transportation plays a critical role in maintaining the economic vitality of cities and meeting societal needs. However, these activities often lead to various problems such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, and energy consumption. Therefore, smart and sustainable urban logistics solutions have the potential to enhance the efficiency of urban freight transportation and minimize its negative impacts. This study examines 70 approaches related to smart city technologies and sustainable logistics in the context of urban freight transportation. The aim of this study is to examine the approaches and technologies of smart and sustainable urban freight transportation. Study design/methodology/approach: A qualitative research design was employed, and within this framework, a literature review was conducted to examine urban freight transportation and applications in smart sustainable cities. Findings: Smart and sustainable logistics solutions for urban freight transportation will be listed, followed by a classification of these solutions and approaches based on the type of logistics activity they address. Originality/value: In this study, sustainable and smart freight transportation efforts are categorized based on logistics activities. While there are many literature reviews available, no classification of this kind exists
