Decentralized Intelligence in Freight Transport - a Critical Review
(2014) In Computers in Industry 65(2). p.306-313- Abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to provide a research outlook on the concept of decentralized freight
intelligence, i.e. autonomous freight making localized routing decisions. A review of research literature
on decentralized intelligence in freight transport serves as the foundation of the analysis. The analysis
reveals a scarcity of scientific evidence to suggest a successful introduction of decentralized freight
intelligence. Among numerous conceptual findings, the analysis reveals a dearth of research on the clear
and present challenges of introducing and adopting decentralized freight concepts in contemporary
multi organizational open freight systems. For practitioners this paper... (More) - The purpose of this paper is to provide a research outlook on the concept of decentralized freight
intelligence, i.e. autonomous freight making localized routing decisions. A review of research literature

reveals a scarcity of scientific evidence to suggest a successful introduction of decentralized freight

multi organizational open freight systems. For practitioners this paper provides useful input on future
ICT development in the transport field. In particular, due to the lack of guidance on adoption of
decentralized freight, a focus on non-networked benefits of information technology is to be
recommended. Given the large number of projects, papers and various initiatives related to
decentralized freight intelligence, this paper, to the authors’ best knowledge, provides a novel
technology adoption perspective on decentralized freight intelligence research. (Less)
