Despite rapid advancements in air, rail, and maritime transport, road transportation continues to serve as the cornerstone of global logistics and passenger movement. However, it remains one of the largest consumers of fossil fuels and a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. As concerns surrounding climate change and environmental sustainability intensify, the need to transition towards eco-friendly transportation models becomes paramount. While green transportation has emerged as a multidisciplinary solution, the strategic potential of Operations Research (OR) in driving this transformation remains significantly underexplored. This paper emphasizes the critical role of OR in improving the efficiency and sustainability of road transportation systems. It explores major OR techniques such as the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), supply chain reengineering, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), supported by models, numerical examples, and graphical analysis.
