Summary / comments concerning the main impacts
- In general, more accurate, real-time monitoring of moving goods, through ubiquitous and open connectivity of cargo, systems and users.- More efficient and effective logistic operations. Increasing operational speed and the reduction of delays and errors will positively impact the transport costs within all modes of transport for transport operators and increase its revenues.
- Increasing information support will enhance the multimodal transport of freight ("one stop shop" for complex multimodal transport) . This will lead to an increase of load factor of road freight vehicles and favour environmental low-impact transport modes.
- Improving customer relationships (more accurate pricing, higher productivity) and hence higher business revenues. [all 6]
- Sectoral and spatial competitiveness will overall increase, but finally the impacts depend on the overall system configuration and implementation (geographic scope).
