Movement of people, goods, and information has always been a fundamental activity in human societies. In particular,
the evolution of economical processes has resulted in the continuous search for greater mobility and higher accessibility [1].
As a matter of facts, in the last two to three decades owing to market globalization, supply chains are becoming even more complex. On the one hand business opportunities have increased dramatically, on the other hand supply chains are more vulnerable against risks that can cause catastrophic situations both for companies and for final customers. A state of the art on risk management in supply chain can be found in Pfohl et al. [2]. Although the globalization historical origins are a matter of debate, many expert economists agree that this process could be dated back to the 1980s when a radical improvement of transportation and telecommunication infrastructures and services occurred.
