Technological Advancements in Transportation and Logistics: Exploring Circular Economy Principles through Bibliometric Insights


Transportation and logistics sectors face increasing challenges due to resource depletion, population growth, and socio-environmental crises, requiring sustainable solutions. Circular economy (CE) principles offer a framework for enhancing resource efficiency and reducing waste.

This study employs a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis to explore CE-related challenges in transportation and logistics. A total of 350 scholarly articles (2000 – February 2025) from the Scopus® database were analyzed using citation, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence analyses. Findings reveal a significant rise in research over the past 24 years, with a surge from 2017 to 2024. China, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and India emerged as leading contributors to scientific literature in this domain.

Key technologies, including the internet of things (IoT), physical internet (PI), cyber-physical systems (CPS), cloud-fog-edge computing, quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and big data, are identified as transformative drivers in the sector. The study highlights emerging research areas and unresolved challenges, providing a foundation for further exploration.

By integrating CE principles with digital technology, transportation and logistics industry can enhance sustainability, operational efficiency, and resource optimization. This study advances knowledge by mapping research trends and identifying promising technological pathways, aiding policymakers, researchers, and industry professionals in decision-making.

 How Network Polarization Shapes Our Politics! Network polarization amplifies political divisions by clustering like-minded individuals into echo chambers, where opposing views are rarely encountered. This reinforces biases, reduces dialogue, and deepens ideological rifts. Social media algorithms further intensify this divide, shaping public opinion and influencing political behavior in increasingly polarized and fragmented societies. Network polarization refers to the phenomenon where social networks—both offline and online—become ideologically homogenous, clustering individuals with similar political beliefs together. This segregation leads to the formation of echo chambers , where people are primarily exposed to information that reinforces their existing views and are shielded from opposing perspectives. In political contexts, such polarization has profound consequences: Reinforcement of Biases : When individuals only interact with like-minded peers, their existing beliefs bec...

Quantum Network Nodes

An operating system for executing applications on quantum network nodes The goal of future quantum networks is to enable new internet applications that are impossible to achieve using only classical communication . Up to now, demonstrations of quantum network applications  and functionalities   on quantum processors have been performed in ad hoc software that was specific to the experimental setup, programmed to perform one single task (the application experiment) directly into low-level control devices using expertise in experimental physics.  Here we report on the design and implementation of an architecture capable of executing quantum network applications on quantum processors in platform-independent high-level software. We demonstrate the capability of the architecture to execute applications in high-level software by implementing it as a quantum network operating system-QNodeOS-and executing test programs, including a delegated computation from a client to a server ...

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...
