Cyber-Physical technologies in freight operations and sustainability: A case study of smart GPS technology in trucking

Illuminating the road ahead: unlocking the potential of ICTs for enhanced data visibility in road transportation

“…Vehicle and cargo tracking is one of the essential activities of goods transportation operations, according to Kermanshah et al . (2020), Luo et al .…”

“…Vehicle and cargo tracking is one of the essential activities of goods transportation operations, according to Kermanshah et al (2020), Luo et al (2016), andGarcia Zuazola et al (2013). Real-time freight tracking and tracing (C7) is the second most important capability.…”

“…Further, as shown in Table 8 and Figure 2, this capability is positively associated with the fleet management (C3) capability. This finding is explained by the fact that a fleet management system's geographic position, commonly acquired using GPS technology, is one of the most fundamental types of data (Ngai et al 2012;Kermanshah et al 2020). Thus, GPS technologies are essential for the functioning of fleet management systems.…”

“…(1) Fleet management (C3): the identified influence is explained by the requirement to guarantee that the data presented by the fleet management system are accurate, particularly the geographic location of the vehicles (Kermanshah et al 2020).…”
