“…Digitalization causes the snowball development of digital services and e-commerce [53][54][55][56][57], which intensifies the negative impact on the environment and could increase transport mobility [58][59][60]. In this case, the effective penetration of digital technologies should eliminate the eco-destructive effect on the environment [61][62][63][64][65]. Applying the agentbased stimulation model, scholars [66] confirm that effective planning using big data and information technologies could optimize the supply chain and minimize air pollution.…”

Accepting sustainable development goals leads to the reorientation of all sectors at all levels. The European Union (EU) actively accepts a vast range of policies to achieve environmental sustainability due to declining carbon dioxide emissions. Within the Green Deal Policy, and in particular the Fit for 55 packages, the EU declared ambitious goals to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 55% from the transport industry by 2030 and 100% by 2035. These goals require introducing appropriate digital technologies into the ecologically friendly functioning of the transport sector to attain sustainable development. This paper aims at analyzing the impact of digitalization on environmental sustainability by providing an effective transport sector that functions with minimum environmental degradation. The object of research is the EU countries for the period 2006–2020. This study applies the panel-corrected standard errors technique to achieve the paper’s aims. The findings allow us to conclude that digitalization is conducive to environmental sustainability. Thus, digital inclusion, the input of the IT sector to GDP, and e-commerce have direct negative and statistically significant linear effects on carbon dioxide emissions. Growth of digital inclusion, input of the IT sector to GDP, and enterprises with web sales by one point allow for decreasing CO2 emissions by 0.136, 2.289, and 0.266, respectively. However, key enablers and digital public services for citizens have a nonlinear, statistically significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions. The findings could be the basis for upgrading incentive policies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Although urban freight transportation is crucial to address societal demands, it also has a major negative impact on the environment, the economy, and society. Then, the growing interest in promoting more sustainable and liveable cities is pushing to point out more in depth the role of urban goods movements within the planning process, as well as city administrators to implement new sustainable city logistics actions/policies/measures. Therefore, after a brief overview, the study presents more advanced techniques (models and methodologies) to help in the assessment of planning scenario. This paper concentrates on the importance of urban freight transport and logistics. Then, technical and logistics actions are outlined, and future last‐mile delivery challenges are discussed. The main objective is to support urban planners, on a strategic and tactical scale, in obtaining an overview of urban freight transport systems that point out the challenges for implementing sustainable city logistics scenarios. It is also of interest to technicians because they can identify the most suitable methodologies, as well as the features that they need for selecting and assessing ex ante the effects of city logistics measures. This work is useful for researchers in various sectors because it allows them to formalise and then to solve the problems for simulating the complex system of urban goods movements where there are different actors with own interests that are conflicting.

The travel behavior of urban residents has gradually changed in response to the widespread adoption of ride-hailing services. This paper explores the travel mode choices made by individuals utilizing multiple forms of ride-hailing services. Eight scenarios were established, which considered combinations of activity types (commute or recreation), travel periods (peak or off-peak), and price levels (discounted or normal rates for ride-hailing). Moreover, socio-psychological variables such as perceived value, behavioral intention, and subjective norm were integrated into the analysis. The findings reveal that consumers of ride-hailing services generally exhibit characteristics such as being younger in age, having higher income, lack of car ownership, and having greater experience in using ride-hailing services. Furthermore, the inclusion of socio-psychological variables significantly improved the model’s fitness. Travelers exhibit a preference for ride-hailing services in scenarios involving recreational activities, normal travel periods, and discounted ride-hailing prices. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the evolving travel behavior of urban residents in light of the widespread availability of ride-hailing services. The incorporation of socio-psychological factors is essential in comprehending and predicting travel mode choices. The insights derived from this research contribute to a nuanced understanding of the factors influencing the adoption of and preference for ride-hailing services among urban commuters.
