This book explores the many challenges faced by the development and
implementation of automated freight transport systems. It offers a
unique overview of current applications, developments and future
perspectives. The subject of automation is not covered extensively
in the existing literature on freight transport and this book aims
to fill the gap. In view of the increasing difficulties in coping
with growing transport volumes in an efficient and sustainable way,
the development of new automated freight applications could be a
viable alternative. The first chapters of the book are devoted to
an overview of concepts and current research developments in
automated transport, outlining the opportunities, barriers and
threats for further development paths for different transport
modes. The authors then go on to focus on innovative tools to
design and evaluate these new transport developments. The book
closes with a detailed and critical analysis of what is, probably,
the most critical part of system innovation; that is the
implementation of automated systems. Written from a
multi-disciplinary perspective, which reflects the diversity of the
relevant issues needing consideration when designing, developing
and implementing such systems, this book will be an invaluable
source for scholars and researchers of innovation and transport
studies. In addition, the book will be useful to policymakers and
practitioners involved in the design, development and
implementation of new technologies for freight transport. It may
also appeal to wider readers with an interest in the future of
freight transport systems.
