Over the last 10 years, Intelligent Freight Transportation (IFT) has significantly transformed the structure of the trucking industry in North America by implementing new digital-dependent policies (e.g. the ELD mandate), digital freight marketplaces (e.g., digital load boards) and intelligent hardware (e.g., autonomous trucks). In this paper, the author reviews the IFT literature in freight transportation from between 2009 and 2019, focusing on the effect of digitization in performance indicators and supply chain drivers. Based on the current gap in the body of literature available, while many behavioral studies in drivers’ safety have been conducted, there is a lack of behavioral research on most human-oriented topics (interface with IFT). Moreover, the role of smart contracts in improving sustainability (e.g., GHG reduction) is rarely measured and cited in many IFT frameworks.
