Is a discussion between the guest editors debating the boundaries of transportation science for addressing relevant problems. 
     
    Finally, the Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications (IMA) have organised, on behalf of the journal, an https://ima.org.uk/20596/future-of-last-mile-logistic/#:~:text=The%20IMA%20Journal%20of%20Management%20Mathematics%20%28IMAMAN%29%20invites,area%2C%20both%20from%20an%20academic%20and%20practitioner%20perspective..
