Intelligent Transport Systems for Road Freight Transport—An Overview

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Logistics ((LNLO))

Abstract

This paper presents a state-of-the-art analysis of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for road freight transport including an overview of telematics applications for road freight transport. Furthermore, an analysis on how different actors of a transport chain perceive the developments of ITS is given. The paper also presents selected examples of practical ITS usage.
