Abstract

This chapter focuses on the freight transport sector, which has been getting increasingly more attention. Most of the topics focus on freight delivery, technologies, and their application important for services oriented to context transfer and understanding. Progress in communication channels and technologies, environmental and system changes, and contemporary studies of freight transport has been of great interest.

Nowadays, the modelling and design of transport systems require application of modern tools offered by various theories. Nevertheless, there are decision-making algorithms that should be considered for building and expanding knowledge and documents digitization. Finally, the chapter ends with efficiency and sustainability topics and their evidence in transport studies.
