Intelligent logistics solutions such as ITS, electronic freight, intelligent cargo, etc. are the main catalysts for innovative Transport Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Intelligent logistics solutions are mainly determined by increased use of inter-connected information and communication technology (ICT) including data sharing, knowledge transfer, cooperation and collaboration. While experts estimate that by the year 2020 ~30 000 000 000 inter-connected devices will be in circulation, today the Logistics- and Supply Chain Industries are in a revolution: The intelligent logistics solution approach extends the WEB2.0 technologies in logistics and supply chain management to a holistic digital economy.

The conference picks up this approach and in-depth technologies as Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), etc. These technologies are not only essential for the introduction of Electronic Freight (e-freight); but they are also an innovative trend enabling sustainable logistics, intelligent cargo and resource-efficient employment of resources. The deployment of ITS helps to strengthen the entire logistics and supply chain network and to engineer more robust and resilient supply chains.
