Abstract

Initiatives taken in the area of city logistics are still not effective enough. A solution to this problem may be more intensive development and wide application of the knowledge-based city logistics approach. This paper aims to evaluate the current development trends and challenges in city logistics, focusing on emerging technologies and knowledge-based processes. The study was conducted using the Delphi method. The findings show an expert consensus on the future common use of several technologies such as ICT, IoT, AI, big data, and drones. Autonomous vehicles constitute an exception here, as the experts do not expect them to be in common use in the future. It can be expected that city logistics projects and activities will be more data-driven, whereas processes necessary for effective knowledge management, which to a large extent depend on people’s attitude, will not be strengthened. Identifying these processes as unlikely indicates the necessary way forward.

知识型城市物流：技术与人的态度是否齐头并进？

在城市物流领域采取的措施仍然不够有效。解决这一问题的方法可能是更深入地发展和广泛地应用知识型城市物流方法。本文旨在评估当前城市物流的发展趋势和挑战，重点关注新兴技术和知识型流程。本研究采用德尔菲法进行。调查结果显示，专家们对信息通信技术、物联网、人工智能、大数据和无人机等几种技术的未来普遍使用达成了共识。自动驾驶汽车在这里是个例外，因为专家们并不认为它们在未来会得到普遍使用。可以预见的是，城市物流项目和活动将更多地由数据驱动，而有效的知识管理所必需的流程将不会得到加强，这在很大程度上取决于人们的态度。认为这些过程不太可能是前进的必要途径。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
