#### 4.2.3 Innovations in Logistics and Supplies  
Recent advancements in logistics and supply chains align with principles of sustainable transport and hold potential as critical responses to global crises. A literature review identified four notable examples of such innovations (Table 10). \begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c c c} \hline \hline \multicolumn{2}{c}{**Solution**} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{**Role in Case of Potential Crises**} \\ \hline \multirow{8}{*}{Drone-based logistics} & \(\bullet\) & Increased efficiency of logistics, thanks to automated deliveries and shortened transport times (economic crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Reducing the use of conventional fuels and greenhouse gas emissions (environmental crisis and health crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Possibility of quick and contactless delivery of medicines, personal protective equipment, and vaccines (health crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Support of emergency medical systems and efficient transport of essential resources—medicine, food, and water (social crisis and military crisis) \\ \hline \multirow{8}{*}{Autonomous trucks} & \(\bullet\) & Reducing carbon dioxide emissions and improving air quality (environmental crisis and health crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Increasing the efficiency of supply chains and reducing operating costs thanks to the ability to quickly respond to prevailing road conditions, reducing fuel consumption and eliminating the employment of drivers (economic crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Use of autonomous convoys to safely deliver resources to dangerous areas (social crisis and military crisis) \\ \hline \multirow{8}{*}{The use of blockchain} & \(\bullet\) & Ensuring transparency, traceability, and reliability of the entire supply chain—effective resource management (economic crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Monitoring the transport of medical supplies and devices, as well as patient records (health crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Tracking the location and level of pollutant emissions in supply chains and ensuring transparency regarding the sustainable activities of companies (environmental crisis and health crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Monitoring supplies to threatened areas and supervising the distribution of resources (social crisis and military crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Reducing the risk of errors, delays, and other logistical challenges that may significantly affect the success of an operation (military crisis) \\ \hline \multirow{8}{*}{Last-mile logistics solutions} & \(\bullet\) & Reducing delivery costs through automation, route optimization, as well as reducing expenditure on salaries, fuel, and vehicle operation (economic crisis) \\  & \(\bullet\) & Reducing urban congestion and minimizing carbon dioxide emissions (environmental crisis and health crisis) \\ \cline{1-1}  & \(\bullet\) & Ensuring continuity of supply during mobility restrictions and the safe and contactless delivery of essential goods (health crisis) \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}

Table 10: The role of selected innovations in logistics and supplies during potential global crises. Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are compact aircraft that can be equipped with various devices, including cameras, thermal sensors, GPS, communication systems, and specialized tools. These devices support tasks such as environmental monitoring, technical inspections, parcel delivery, and emergency response operations. The primary advantage of drones is their ability to access and navigate challenging and remote areas with ease [23], positioning them as promising assets for logistics and delivery solutions that promote sustainable development and provide valuable support during global crises. For businesses and governments, drones offer an innovative method to enhance logistics efficiency, enabling automated deliveries, reducing transport times, and lowering fuel consumption, which collectively reduce operational costs [153; 154].
