Increasing globalization, competitiveness and customer demands have led to the need for the development of smart and seamless corridors connecting industrial clusters. This chapter discusses the concepts of smart corridors, what they are, what they encompass and what the opportunities for the short‐term of intelligent transport system (ITS) for the logistics industry will be. As the most transport of goods take place between logistics hubs or clusters the concept of smart corridors connecting smart hubs can be used to define applications that adds value to individual companies by introducing extended connectivity and information sharing. The logistics domain most likely automatically benefits from the transport mode focused ITS developments such as increased vehicle automation, platooning and energy‐efficient intersection control. On the other hand, the benefits of ITS in the field of pre‐trip optimization of transport in networks could be even bigger.
