“…As an intensive transportation mode, ST is essential for breaking the extensive energy-based vicious circle of development by replacing more efficient energy utilization with traditional low-efficiency energy utilization. In this regard, ST contributes greatly to the upgrading of the transportation sector towards a more energy-intensive mode (Baygin et al, 2022;Shi et al, 2021aShi et al, , 2021b. In addition, with the popularization and development of smart public transportation, energy saving can be achieved when users change their daily travel behavior.…”

Purpose Mitigating the energy trilemma (ET) is of great importance for dealing with climate change and realizing carbon neutrality. To this end, effectively assessing the level of the ET is essential. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current situation and the spatio-temporal changes of the ET in the whole of China. Design/methodology/approach Moreover, based on provincial-level data in China for the period 2002–2017, and by using the dynamic estimation model, we aim to determine the specific marginal impacts of smart transportation (ST) on the ET, and the possible channels through which ST works on the ET. Findings We thus present the following findings: (1) The performance of both ET and its three pillars is gradually improving in China. Moreover, the situation tends to vary dramatically among various regions and provinces, and the gap between the best performers and the worst is large. (2) ST plays a significant role in inhibiting the ET, a finding that remains robust after a series of tests. And (3) the ET eradication effect of ST is caused mainly by improved innovation, advanced technical efficiency, and the increasing energy scale. Originality/value Accordingly, we put forward some policy recommendations to help tackle ET and accelerate ST in China.

“…Cash-ondelivery (CoD) [1], Letter-of-Credit (LoC) [2]) to transportation models applying advanced technologies (e.g. blockchain, RFID, smart contracts) [3]. The main purpose of these models is to shorten delivery and pickup times and make it possible for sellers and buyers to trace the location and expected time of delivery [4].…”

Current traditional shipping models are increasingly revealing many shortcomings and affecting the interests of sellers and buyers due to having to depend on trusted third parties. For example, the Cash-on-Delivery (CoD) model must depend on the carrier/shipper, or the Letter-of-Credit (LoC) model depends on the place of the Letter certification (i.e., bank). There have been many examples demonstrating the riskiness of the two models above. Specifically, in developing countries (e.g., Vietnam), the demand for exporting goods and trading between sellers and buyers have not yet applied the benefits of current technology to improve traditional shipping models. Two typical examples in the last five years that have demonstrated the risks of both sellers and buyers when applying CoD and LoC models are the problem of keeping the money of the seller of GNN Expresses (2017) as well as risks in losing control of 4 containers of cashew nuts when exporting from Vietnam to Italy (2021). A series of studies have proposed solutions based on distributed storage, blockchain, and smart contracts to solve the above problems. However, the role of the shipper has not been considered in some approaches or is not suitable for deployment in a developed country (i.e., Vietnam). In this paper, we propose a combination model between the traditional CoD model and blockchain technology, smart contracts, and NFT to solve the above problems. Specifically, our contribution includes four aspects: a) proposing a shipping model based on blockchain technology and smart contracts; b) proposing a model for storing package information based on Ethereum's NFT technology (i.e. ERC721); c) implementing the proposed model by designing smart contracts that support the creation and transfer of NFTs between sellers and buyers; d) deploy smart contracts on four EVM-enabled platforms including BNB Smart chain, Fantom, Celo, and Polygon to find a suitable platform for the proposed model.

“…Fast delivery is essential to businesses that provide streamlined production processes or that rely on the urgent delivery of parts for machinery and equipment [11]. While in the last two decades, a large number of solutions have been presented aiming at secure and efficient transportation of hazardous or high-value cargo in the railway [14], ground transportation [15], and the shipping [16] industry, similar efforts in the aviation industry are limited. Technologies such as digital twin [17] have been introduced, but they are mainly focusing on cargo load planning and optimization [18,19], introducing RFID technology for ULD identification and monitoring (e.g., [20,21]), due to the high impact of the ULD operations on the delivery cost.…”

Being the main pillar in the context of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT) leads evolution towards a smarter and safer planet. Being human-centered, rather than machine-centered, as was the case of wireless sensor networks used in the industry for decades, the IoT may enhance human intelligence with situational awareness, early warning, and decision support tools. Focusing on air cargo transportation, the “INTELLICONT” project presented a novel solution capable of improving critical air cargo challenges such as the reduction of total aircraft weight, detection and suppression of smoke and/or fire in a container, elimination of permanent moving and locking hardware, loading and unloading logistics enhancement and maintenance. In the present work, the IoT-based monitoring and control system for intelligent aircraft cargo containers is presented from a hardware perspective. The system is based on low-cost, low-energy sensors that are integrated into the container, can track its status, and detect critical events, such as fire/smoke, impact, and accidental misuse. The focus has been given to the design and development of a system capable of providing better and safer control of the aircraft cargo during the loading/unloading operations and the flight. It is shown that the system could provide a breakthrough in the state of the art of current cargo container technology and aircraft cargo operations.
