Sustainable Transport: A State-of-the-Art Literature Review

The transport sector plays an important role in society at large. This article aimed to provide a state-of-the-art literature review in the area of sustainable transport. Data for the analysis were collected from the Web of Science database from 2000 to 2022. A total of 1238 bibliometric records of publications were collected. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were undertaken in the article. The analysis results showed five main research areas: 1-sustainable urban/public transport and mobility; 2-transport emissions and fuels; 3-sustainable supply chain/logistics management models; 4-performance and metrics in sustainable transport; and 5-future and policy. The limitations of the research carried out, which mainly concern the methodological section, should also be borne in mind. These include the selected publication base and search criteria, such as the year or language of publication.
