The 23rd IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transport Systems
Rhodes, GR
Smart Initiatives to Improve Last-mile and
50 feet Logistics to Improve Freight Fluidity
Virtual Workshop
Sunday, September 20, 2020
1:30pm - 4:30pm

Evangelos I. Kaisar, PhD., Florida Atlantic University, presiding
Petros Ioannou, PhD., University of Southern California, presiding
This workshop aims to address critical issues affecting planning, design, operation, and safety. Will also focus on identifying innovative strategies and technologies which are being developed to facilitate ‘last-mile’ delivery challenges.

A rapid development of new technologies, in the last few years, has created opportunities for resolving many critical freight transportation challenges. The workshop will establish a process to evaluate operational changes or technology applications which support the timely flow of freight movements through the transportation system. Additionally, it will deal with various newly emerged initiatives in the area of logistics and supply chain, such as sustainable logistics systems, methods for last mile deliveries and logistics terminals siting and operations

The involvement of speakers and participants from academia, federal and state agencies and industry will ensure a multidimensional discussion. The workshop break-out sessions will engage participants and facilitate research-oriented discussions. Break-out sessions will introduce participants with the whole concept of Smart Freight Mobility as well as serve for information exchange of the research accomplishments.
