Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review of Urban Freight Transport (UFT) in last mile logistics, using the PRISMA methodology, and a bibliometric analysis based on statistical assessments of both quality and quantity. The search was conducted in Scopus and Web of Science databases, identifying trends, co-authorships, and patterns over time. An annual increase in publications is highlighted, along with recurring keywords, influential authors, and relevant journals in the field of urban deliveries. A classification taxonomy with ten different performance index for UFT with three evaluation types and their applications was proposed. This quantitative and qualitative analysis provides a robust foundation for future research in urban logistics and goods distribution.
