The purpose of this paper is threefold: (1) to make an assessment of Freight ITS achievements; (2) to illustrate the convergence
of Freight ITS and e-business technologies by focusing on electronic auctions; and (3) to show how the introduction
of better decision-support software, based on operations research models and methods, could very significantly improve the
ultimate performance of these systems.
The paper is organized as follows. We first recall briefly the scope, components, and main enabling technologies of Freight
ITS. The next sections are dedicated, respectively, to Commercial Vehicle Operations, Advanced Fleet Management Systems,
City Logistics, and a brief exploration of linkages between Freight ITS and e-business. We conclude with a number of perspectives
and research and development challenges.
