Models and Measures for Sustainable City Logistics

Francesco Russo, since 1999, has been a Full Professor in Transportation with the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Informazione, delle Infrastrutture e dell’Energia Sostenibile, Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria, Reggio Calabria (Italy). At this university, he lectures on Transportation Systems, Logistics Systems, and Sustainable Mobility. He is the author of more than 300 papers in the field of transportation and logistics. He is a distinguished researcher at his university and is listed in the “Stanford-Elsevier List of the World’s Top 2% Scientists,” both for single-year impact (including 2025 and previous years) and for career- long impact. His research interests include the development and application of methods and models for the analysis and design of freight and passenger transport systems at urban and extra-urban scales, the development and implementation of ITS (intelligent transportation systems), and the analysis of emergency issues and evacuation of urban systems, as well as the analysis of the risk in the transport system. He is an Editorial Board Member of several international journals and a member of the International Scientific Advisory Committee. He has been and is the Principal Investigator for many national and in ternational research projects and is member of the Editorial Board of several international high-impact journals. He is on the steering committee of various international projects, including the coordination of the General Mobility Plan prepared by the Italian Government, membership of the National Commission for the Forecast and Prevention of Mayor Risks and co ordination of its Chemical, Nuclear, Industrial and Transport Risk Section. He was Head of the Dipartimento di Informatica, Matematica, Elettron ica e Trasporti, and the coordinator of the PhD course in Transportation Engineering and Logistics at Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria. Antonio Comi is a Full Professor in Transportation at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Department of Enterprise Engineering “Mario Lucer tini,” Rome (Italy). With a PhD in Transportation Engineering from the Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria, Prof. Comi has more than 25 years of experience in the field of urban freight transport as well as in transportation system simulation. He is a distinguished researcher at his uni versity and is listed in the “Stanford-Elsevier List of the World’s Top 2% Scientists,” both for single-year impact (including 2025 and previous years) and for career-long impact. He lectures on the Theory of Transport Systems and Freight Transpor tation and Logistics Systems and has coordinated and continues to coordi nate international teaching projects. His research activity mainly involves the development and application of methods and models for the analysis and design of freight and passenger transport systems at urban and extra- urban scales, the analysis of the transition to electric mobility and risk reduction in transportation systems and the use of information and commu nication technologies for promoting more sustainable transportation systems. He has been appointed a Board Member of the Italian Academic Society of Transport (SIDT) and served as treasurer. He serves as Specialty Chief Editor, Associate Editor, and member of the Editorial Board of several in ternational high-impact journals. He has published more than 150 indexed papers in the field of transportation and acts as a reviewer for many interna tional journals. He has coordinated and continues to coordinate interna tional and national research projects, and he is a member of international and national committees acting to select projects for funding.
