Abstract:Freight digitalization can provide environmental, health, and economic benefits, including reduced congestion on roadways and in and around ports, lower emissions, and operational and efficiency improvements for freight carriers (see the Freight Operational Strategies strategy page for more detail). Digital solutions include advanced scheduling and routing systems, location tracking using geographic information systems (GIS), and other intelligent transportation systems (ITS) (see the Intelligent Transportation Systems strategy page for more detail). The International Transport Forum analyzed the overall impacts of a ‘Digital Transformation’ scenario on freight related CO₂ emissions and found that implementing a range of digital solutions to the freight sector will result in over 20% lower CO₂ emissions in 2050 compared to the no-action baseline.
