Current Status and Future Development of Intelligent Transportation Systems in the Logistics Industry

Abstract

With the rapid development of the global logistics industry and the deepening of digital transformation, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has become the core driving force for the optimization of modern logistics supply chain. In this study, we systematically review the current status of ITS application, technical architecture and challenges in the logistics industry, and look forward to its future development trend. The study finds that ITS significantly improves the efficiency, safety and sustainability of logistics and transportation through the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data Analytics (BDA) and Blockchain. The global ITS market is expected to grow from USD 30.64 billion in 2024 to USD 60.92 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 7.94%. However, the deployment of the system still faces multiple challenges such as complex technology integration, high infrastructure investment, data security risks, and lagging regulatory policies. In the future, self-driving vehicles, Telematics, digital twins and smart distribution will become the main direction of the development of intelligent transportation systems. This paper provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the digital transformation of logistics enterprises and the formulation of government industrial policies.
