# Shared Logistics--Literature Review
## 2 Methods of Analysis
The areas covered by the authors are presented in Table 1.  
The table shows that digitalization, promotion of shared logistics, shared distribution, Physical Internet, shared storage, and shared logistics in urban space are the most common topics among the authors that have written about shared logistics. These topics are represented by multiple authors and papers, indicating that they are well-researched and widely discussed in the literature. Other areas that are also represented in the table include barriers in shared logistics, social aspects of shared logistics, cost sharing, revenue sharing, income sharing, profit sharing, shared packaging, sharing space in logistics, and fleet sharing. Additionally, general analyses on shared logistics are also represented, which includes topics such as sharing logistics mechanism modeling, optimal collaboration strategy, incidents of failure and success of logistics sharing, collaboration in logistics networks, and challenges for retailers. Some areas that are missing include safety and security issues in shared logistics processes, data security in shared logistics processes, and actual case studies of companies or organizations that have implemented shared logistics. The table provides a useful overview of the current state of the literature on shared logistics, but it is not a comprehensive list of all the topics and areas that have been explored in this field. The areas researched are also presented in Figure 6.
