Transport route efficiency optimization: a new perspective integrating sustainable development and economic benefits

Аннотация

Traditional assessments of transportation route efficiency often prioritize direct economic factors, neglecting crucial environmental and social sustainability dimensions. This research integrates the core concepts of sustainable transportation - spanning environmental, social, and economic pillars - and proposes novel qualitative frameworks to evaluate economic efficiency more holistically. The aim is to provide a more comprehensive basis for optimizing transportation routes, fostering decisions that better balance operational effectiveness with long-term sustainability goals.
