Digitalization in Sustainable Transportation Operations: A Systematic Review of AI, IoT, and Blockchain Applications for Future Mobility Mohammad Abul Kashem, Mohammad Shamsuddoha, Tasnuba Nasir Future Transportation, 2025 Despite increasing interest in AI, IoT, and blockchain for sustainable transportation, existing reviews remain fragmented—focusing on single technologies, descriptive benefits, or narrow applications—without providing an integrated synthesis across domains. This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and a bibliometric analysis of 102 peer-reviewed papers to provide the concurrent integrative synthesis of AI, IoT, and blockchain in enabling sustainable transport. Data were drawn from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar, and analyzed using VOSviewer to identify research clusters, emerging themes, and knowledge gaps. The results reveal three thematic clusters: smart traffic systems for congestion management, sustainable logistics and supply chains, and data-driven urban governance. Across these clusters, AI is more mature in predictive modeling, IoT remains fragmented in interoperability, and blockchain is still at a pilot stage with governance and scalability issues. The analysis highlights synergies (e.g., AI–IoT integration for real-time optimization) and persistent challenges (e.g., standardization, data security). This review contributes a strategic research roadmap linking bibliometric hotspots with policy and practice implications. By explicitly identifying gaps in governance, interoperability, and cross-domain integration, the study offers actionable directions for both researchers and policymakers to accelerate digital transitions in transport.
Quantum Computing Applications in Supply Chain Information and Optimization: Future Scenarios and Opportunities Mohammad Shamsuddoha, Mohammad Abul Kashem, Tasnuba Nasir, Ahamed Ismail Hossain, Md Foysal Ahmed Information Switzerland, 2025 Quantum computing is a groundbreaking innovation that can resolve complex supply chain problems that traditional computing techniques are unable to manage. Given a focus on information flow, optimization, and potential future applications, this study explores how supply chain management could utilize quantum computing. The study used a mixed-methods approach, including scenario modeling, case studies of prominent companies, and literature reviews. The study intends to evaluate the function of quantum computing in dynamic route optimization, investigate how it can enhance supply chain resilience, and examine how it could optimize the flow of information for decision-making processes. Findings demonstrate that quantum computing offers unprecedented computational power for scenario analysis and decision-making and operates exceptionally well in activities like dynamic route optimization, parcel packaging, and reorganization during disruptions. For instance, companies like DHL and FedEx utilize quantum systems to improve efficiency substantially. However, constraints like high implementation costs, cybersecurity weaknesses, and technological infancy prevent widespread acceptance. Further research should investigate hybrid solutions that integrate quantum and classical computing while addressing these obstacles. This paper concludes that although quantum computing has the potential to transform supply chains by improving information flow, resilience, and efficiency, its wider adoption will require overcoming current financial and technological challenges.
A Review of Transportation 5.0: Advancing Sustainable Mobility Through Intelligent Technology and Renewable Energy Mohammad Shamsuddoha, Mohammad Abul Kashem, Tasnuba Nasir Future Transportation, 2025 Transportation 5.0 is an advanced and sophisticated system combining technologies with a focus on human-centered design and inclusivity. Its various components integrate intelligent infrastructure, autonomous vehicles, shared mobility services, green energy solutions, and data-driven systems to create an efficient and sustainable transportation network to tackle modern urban challenges. However, this evolution of transportation is also intended to improve accessibility by creating environmentally benign substitutes for traditional fuel-based mobility solutions, even when addressing traffic management and control issues. Consequently, to promote synergy for sustainability, the diversified nature of the Transportation 5.0 components ought to be efficiently and effectively managed. Thus, this study aims to reveal the involvement of Transportation 5.0 core component prediction in the sustainable transportation system through a systematic literature review. This study also contemplates the causal model under system dynamics modeling in order to address sustainable solutions and the movement toward sustainability in the context of Transportation 5.0. From this review, in addition to the developed causal model, it is identified that every core component management method in the sustainable Transportation 5.0 system reduces environmental impact while increasing passenger convenience and the overall efficiency and accessibility of the transport network, with greater improvements for developing nations. As the variety of transportation options, including electric vehicles, is successfully integrated, this evolution will eventually enable shared mobility, green infrastructure, and multimodal transit options.
Effects of biochar produced from rice straw and oil cake on soil nutrients, growth, yield and nutrient content of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Haque Md. Enamul, Osman Khan Towhid, Kashem Md. Abul Plant Science Today, 2025 A pot experiment was conducted to assess the comparative effects of biochar and conventional inorganic NPK fertilizers on wheat growth and nutrient content as well as certain soil chemical and nutritional properties. Biochar produced from oil cake and rice straw were mixed with soils at rates of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% (w/w) and inorganic NPK fertilizer was also mixed separately with soils at rates of 0, ¼, ½, ¾ and 1 of the recommended rate. Biochar increased the fresh weight and dry weight of wheat plant parts significantly. The root biomass and grain yield with oil cake biochar (OCB) were relatively higher than with rice straw biochar (RSB). Biochar application at a 4-5% rate produced maximum wheat root, straw and grain yield which were comparable to the recommended inorganic 1 NPK rate. The study revealed that oil cake biochar (OCB) was more effective in increasing soil organic carbon (OC), whereas rice straw biochar (RSB) was found to be more effective in raising soil pH, soil electrical conductivity (EC) and decreasing soil exchangeable acidity. A similar effect on soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) was also observed with both types of biochar. The soil available ammonium N (NH4 +-N), Olsen P and K content increased with increasing rates of both biochar and inorganic NPK in soils after the harvest of plants. Applying biochar at a rate of 5% resulted in the highest effect on the soil’s chemical and nutritional properties. Maximum N, P and K concentrations in wheat root, straw and grain were found at 4-5% biochar rates, which were significantly higher than inorganic NPK fertilizer rates.
Zero Plastic Drive: A Comprehensive Review on Unveiling Innovative Sustainable Solutions for a Circular Plastics Economy Mohammad Shamsuddoha, Mohammad Abul Kashem Sustainability Switzerland, 2024 Living in a society where plastic has become a necessity, the over-reliance on these materials is quite disturbing as they have social and economic effects, especially in waste disposal and resource management. Such issues have introduced the circular plastics economy (CPE), which aims to eliminate plastic waste by focusing on reducing, recycling, and reusing (3R) and designing biodegradable plastic products. Owing to these facts, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to analyze the existing literature on circular economy principles and plastic waste management systems in terms of 3R initiatives. Also, this study showcases the CPE by investigating how it is possible to manage plastic within a circular economy instead of a linear system. Additionally, system dynamics modeling (SDM) was applied to examine the inter-relationships between key elements such as plastic production, waste generation, recycling rates, and regulatory actions, along with the cognizance phase of waste diversion and advanced sorting technology to minimize landfill dependency and environmental pollution initiatives, including producer responsibility programs and zero-landfill targets. This study accumulated that zero waste strategies, such as plastic circularity, national waste management, and high-quality recycling, have achieved recycling rates ranging from 30% to 81% across various countries, significantly reducing plastic waste and enhancing resource efficiency. However, the added strategies in countries that are related to policy-driven initiatives can prospectively be useful for increasing recycling capacity to eliminate plastic waste in landfills, promoting a circular economy and sustainable waste management practices. This study also involved the critical stakeholders of the CPE who will make the utilization of plastic waste a reality. Ultimately, this research contributes to the fast-growing knowledge base on plastic waste management by presenting an interdisciplinary framework based on model synthesis and mathematical modeling, which is crucial for decision-makers, industries, and researchers.
