| Abstract | Highlights: What are the main findings? Integrating digital twins, AI, and IoT enables real-time, adaptive logistics that improve delivery accuracy and reduce congestion.AI Predictive Models boost delivery accuracy and reduce urban congestion. Cybernetic feedback loops support self-regulating logistics systems that optimise routes and minimise environmental impact. What is the implication of the main finding? IoT-enabled predictive analytics integrated with digital twins and cybernetic feedback loops can significantly improve the responsiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of smart city logistics. The proposed framework enables adaptive, real-time optimisation of last-mile deliveries, helping logistics managers and city planners reduce congestion and environmental impact in urban freight operations. The increasing complexity of urban logistics in smart cities requires innovative solutions that leverage real-time data, predictive analytics, and adaptive learning to enhance efficiency. This study presents a predictive analytics framework integrating digital twin technology, IoT-enabled logistics data, and cybernetic feedback loops to improve last-mile delivery accuracy, congestion management, and sustainability in smart cities. Grounded in Systems Theory and Cybernetic Theory, the framework models urban logistics as an interconnected network, where real-time IoT data enable dynamic routing, demand forecasting, and self-regulating logistics operations. By incorporating machine learning-driven predictive analytics, the study demonstrates how AI-powered logistics optimization can enhance urban freight mobility. The cybernetic feedback mechanism further improves adaptive decision-making and operational resilience, allowing logistics networks to respond dynamically to changing urban conditions. The findings provide valuable insights for logistics managers, smart city policymakers, and urban planners, highlighting how AI-driven logistics strategies can reduce congestion, enhance sustainability, and optimize delivery performance. The study also contributes to logistics and smart city research by integrating digital twins with adaptive analytics, addressing gaps in dynamic, feedback-driven logistics models. © 2025 by the authors. |
