Dear All,
The 5th International Workshop on Sustainable Road Freight Transport will be held in Cambridge on 29th - 30th November 2018.
This year the workshop will focus on disruptive innovations in road freight transport systems. On day one, the focus will be on technological, logistics, policy and economic aspects of the transition to electrified urban, national and international road freight transport systems. Digital revolution in freight transport systems will be the main theme for day two of the workshop. All participants will be invited to participate in group & panel discussions.
We invite presentations and posters on ways to improve the sustainability of road freight transport, including, but not limited to:
· Charging systems and infrastructure for electrified urban and long-haul road freight transport
· Local, national and international policy changes to facilitate the transition to electro mobility
· Impact of changing fuel options on supply chain system design and risk management
· Standardisation and interoperability of freight vehicles and infrastructure
· Financing models and impact on infrastructure development and maintenance budgets
· Economic implications of reductions in emission-based tax revenues
· Other fuel options for sustainable road freight transport
· Role of data and ITC in sustainable freight transport systems: collection, infrastructure, analytics and exploitation
· Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in freight transport and logistics systems
· Digital / shared business models to reduce the demand for road freight transport
· Freight vehicle automation and platooning
Abstracts of max 1000 words should be submitted by 14th September 2018. Notifications of acceptance for presentations will be sent out by 25th September 2018. The deadline for poster submissions is 2nd November 2018. Please submit an abstract or a poster by sending it to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
