| Summary: | The recent revision of the White Paper on transport in 2006 supports the concept of co- modality to achieve sustainable transport, that is to say " the efficient use – either remotely or combined - of various ways of transportation " (CCE, on 2006). At the heart of co-modality is the need to harness information and this has been made possible thanks to new management systems. This is the intention of intelligent freight which encourages the application of new technologies to infrastructure and materials. In fact, logistic and transport services now involve more and more operations that have an “informative” side. However, their use by the firms within their logistic strategies depends on a palette of factors, such as: (1) The firm’s constraints regarding micro-economic optimization in terms of costs and time; (2) The imposed constraints for the middle-economic level trough the relations with the other actors of the productive system (in particular the customers). Consequently, there is a variety of logistical and transport strategies that will need different services and the choices in favour of durability may be very different and mobilize specific controlling levers. Consequently, the influence of transport intelligent systems will be highly variable. |
