Smart Initiatives and Intelligent Freight Transportation – Current Applications and Guidelines for Future Development

IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference - ITSC 2019

Auckland, New Zealand 27-30 October

Description

A rapid development of new technologies, in the last few years, has created opportunities for resolving many critical freight transportation challenges. As a main result of introducing new technologies, availability of information, their accuracy, and decision-making speed were significantly improved. Creating smart mobility freight system can make powerful influence on the whole transportation network not only on city and region but as well as state and country level. Smart mobility freight system comprises a variety of Intelligent Transportation Systems applications. Freight Advanced Traveler Information System, Freight Dynamic Route Guidance, Drayage Optimization present some of already developed and integrated applications. Potential applications of automated and connected vehicles in freight transportation, deliveries by unmanned aerial vehicles, Freight Signal Priority, development, testing and implementation of the variety of new more comprehensive algorithms for logistic and relocation problems, etc. are some of the areas researched for future implementation in the Smart Freight Mobility System. This workshop, aims to address critical issues affecting planning, design, operation, and safety of the nation’s intermodal freight transportation systems, in order to strengthen nation’s economic competitiveness through efficient freight mobility. In addition, this workshop will focus on currently developed and deployed applications worldwide, current research in this area as well discuss the guidelines for future development. Break-out sessions will introduce participants with the whole concept of Smart Freight Mobility as well serve for information exchange of the research accomplishments.
