How will digitalization change freight transport? : future scenarios for the digitized freight transport landscape in Sweden
Publication details: [Stockholm] : KTH, ITRL - Integrated Transport Research Lab, 2019Description: 29 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Digitalization, including e.g. connectivity, automation and artificial Intelligence could play a major role in new, effective and sustainable transport system. At the same time there are significant risks for rebound effects such increased congestion and higher energy consumption. Digitalization will change freight transport, the question is: how? In this report, we target this question by identifying the uncertainties and trend that the new technologies based on digitalization are associated with and how the freight transport landscape may look like depending on how trends and uncertainties unfoldDigitalization, including e.g. connectivity, automation and artificial Intelligence could play a major role in new, effective and sustainable transport system.
