Abstract:
In the last decade, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) proved to be a milestone in the field of freight transport with the appearance of tracking and tracing devices. Different ICTs viz. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), wireless sensor nodes and localization systems play vital role to improve the performance of the freight transport system by saving energy consumption, reducing the service cost and increasing the cargo throughput. To achieve these requirements, the development of reliable heterogeneous communication system among all communicating objects becomes a paramount objective. In this paper, we describe different kind of existing communication technologies in Intelligent Transport System (ITS) domain. Also, we propose an intelligent infrastructure integrated with ICTs for the operations of Intelligent Automated Vehicle (IAV) in confined space like container terminal.
