An Assessment of Provision of Heterogeneous Services for Sustainable Cargo Transportation Process Management by Roads

Abstract

The aim of this research is forwarded for assessment of provision possibilities of the multi-componential and heterogeneous services in the fast-changing topology of cargo transportation processes. The mobile intelligent services in current transport means require the development of complex infrastructure for multi-compositional service support. Our objectives are related to the investigation in data-transfer capabilities for heterogeneous service support, which is offering some improvements for developing the infrastructure of transportation of vehicles and helping in the administration of transport processes. This research aims to develop an approach for the assessment of infrastructure for sustainable management of cargo transportation processes by roads. Such assessment is multi-layered by including the management possibilities of cargo transportation logistic processes and electronic (smart, mobile) services using current innovative software and hardware of information communication technologies (ICT). Special attention is paid for road safety, more environment cleanable, and paperless management by assessing the integration of potentials and prospects of wireless, vehicle ad-hoc communication networks (VANET), and other communication possibilities. Some requirements are revealed for such type of infrastructure for the provision of heterogeneous services. The results of the development of infrastructure demonstrate the capacities of the potential of wireless networks for the provision of high-level of multi-component, heterogeneous services.

Integration of Context-Aware Services in Smart System Based on Wireless Sensor Networks for Sustainable Cargo Transportation

“…There Tyj is the context data type that we can assess in the range of evaluation points [1][2][3]. The means of such range are 1 for mentioning that comfort, 2 for comfort and safety, 3 for security.…”

“…Sensors of the infrastructure of RSUs help in monitoring traffic information, hazard warnings, recording of interaction with other vehicles, e-calls for warning information provision, and more. In the field of research for the development of advanced systems, the authors are offered several solutions for the development of adaptive service systems [3,7,8].…”

“…A more detailed conceptual architecture of the smart service provision system is proposed in our previous works [3,7,8]. Recently, a special attention has been paid to the field of changing the topology of mobile networks and providing information restrictions.…”

“…The flows of goods by different kinds of transportation extremely grow. Important issues arise in the development of advanced tools based on the upcoming information and communication technologies (ICTs), which have the potential to adapt to the heterogeneity of communication infrastructure and the diversity of vehicle automation tools [3,4]. New issues are concerning the development of smart services by implementation of data from wireless sensor networks (WSNs) [5,6].…”
