Impact of the Technology Revolution on the Logistics Sector

Abstract

Developing in the smart cities concept and internet of things (IoT) technologies has become more demanding for the modern governments to overcome the growth of population and monitoring and controlling of the available resources. Smart cities with the use of the latest technologies in communications and electronics, which are the heart of IoT, have been developed and branched to cover most of the daily life needs. One of these branches is the intelligent transportation system (ITS), which is the heart of several fields like the logistics sector. This chapter aims to introduce a comprehensive overview for deploying two main examples of the technology revolution, which are autonomous vehicles and robotics technologies, in the logistics sector and illustrate the effect of using current and future approaches like IoT, AI, 5G, and more in the intelligent supply chain field.
