Resilience and Sustainability of Freight Transport: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Market disruption has made the freight transport (FT) activities more complex. In this context and for competitive reasons, companies must operate in more resilient manner to solve problems related to changes without damaging their economic, environmental and social performance. Therefore, a communicative indicator used to monitor the performance of FT and enhance development by prioritizing improvements is crucial. However, the resilience measures of FT were not widely studied in the literature. In this paper, we propose a systematic review of FT resilience by defining it, identifying its indicators and focusing on its synergies with sustainability and collaboration. This work provides a comprehensive view of resilience and the new directions for future research works.
