Abstract
This chapter presents a general overview of the sustainability concept in transportation operations. It is mostly concerned with how to convert traditional transportation operations into a sustainable transportation system by showing the state-of-the-art regarding sustainable transportation performance indexes. In this study, a definition of sustainable transportation and major performance indexes are given for use in the decision-making processes. Recent theoretical developments and studies using such performance indexes are investigated and used to provide the conceptual basis of the sustainability in transportation activities. Also, an example of a mixed integer linear programming model is shared to be used in solving the multiobjective sustainable transportation problems via different solution methodologies.
