The use of modern ICT solutions in freight transport telematics

Along with the evolution of our civilization is increasing demand for faster and cheaper transport, both from the point of view of trade and normal movement of people. In the case of trade most often we are dealing with the transport of the freight traffic, where the goods are not carrying by one type of transport. In this type of carriage time between transhipments on exchange stations plays an important role. The correct use of modern ICT (information and communication technologies), both wired and wireless for control loads, vehicles and carriers can significantly reduce total transport time and costs. Additional monitoring of the status of land units’ drivers allows increasing the security and the reliability to wirelessly check the content and status of the load increases the reliability of the correct transport. Therefore, this article presents the use of modern wireless technologies (LTE-A, 802.11ac) and backbones of public networks (1…100 GbE) on the exchange stations.
