“…Rodríguez Cornejo et al [46] presented lean thinking in the physical internet (PI), a value stream map method to minimize waste that is resilient to change, which can easily identify empty transport and unnecessary CO2 emissions. Based on localization data, travel time and timewindow constraints, Montecinos et al [6] proposed a sharing logistics platform with a matching algorithm for less-thantruckload systems to reduce the number of trucks, operational costs, traveling distances, and gas emissions. To maximize the utility of logistics resources utilization, Cai et al [47] proposed a subsidy strategy to solve the problems in the transaction orders of drivers and consignors on the sharing logistics platform.…”

“…A lack of information exchange and the absence of social trust deter horizontal collaboration [5]. A logistics platform is presented to solve the information exchange problem, as in Yunmanman, Huolala et al In present-day China, the sustainability of such a platform is strategically important, because it can optimize vehicle capacity utilization and reduce empty mileage [6]. That is, the sustainability issue of horizontal collaboration is becoming a challenge for freight transportation in China.…”

“…To quantify the economic and environmental benefits of collaboration by companies, Palmer et al [11] reported a 23% reduction in cost with 58% fewer road kilometers traveled and a 46% reduction in CO2 emissions in an actual strategy examination. Second, research on the improvement of optimization algorithms remains limited in the literature [6,12,13]. To reduce the overall cost and related environmental and social impacts, Muñoz-Villamizar et al [14] proposed a biased randomization-based algorithm to solve the problem with a multiobjective function to explore the relationships between delivery and environmental costs.…”

In China, logistics platforms are an effective way to solve vehicle capacity utilization using information sharing. However, most logistics platforms do not possess operational sustainability due to excessive profit-seeking. To address this problem, conflicts of interest among freight transportation participants are discussed using a stakeholder approach. A three-player evolutionary game model (TEGM) is developed to analyze the interactions among freight carriers, freight shippers, and logistics platforms. Then, the asymptotic equilibrium and evolutionary stability strategies of the three-player game are analyzed. The results indicate that a high-level positive network externality is the driving force behind the logistics platform’s “high-level service”. A fairness payment incentive guarantees a “sharing” strategy for freight carriers and shippers. When the high-level positive network externality is limited and lower than a threshold value, there is no stable equilibrium point in the TEGM. A government tax incentive cannot change the freight carriers’ and shippers’ strategy to participate in this horizontal collaboration system, except for the logistics platform’s probability of providing “high-level service”. However, the behavioral strategies of the freight transportation participants can be changed to achieve the sustainability of freight transportation by reducing the value-added tax rate through the logistics platform and increasing the high-level positive network externality of the logistics platform and other participants’ perceived fairness through a payment incentive. Finally, suggestions for regulating the behaviors of freight transportation participants and promoting the sustainability of freight transportation are discussed.
