信息和通信技术（信通技术）作为关键推动因素在货运中的作用已得到公认。然而，在英国和欧洲，多式联运货物运输条款对信通技术最新进展的吸收一直很缓慢。本文的目的是探索采用如此缓慢的潜在原因，并评估云计算和物联网等最新技术进步如何改变了景观，从而有助于克服这些障碍。通过对33个欧盟框架计划项目的广泛审查，我们能够巩固和介绍目前在欧洲货运多式联运环境中ICT发展的主要努力。我们进一步讨论了阻碍在多式联运中迅速采用信通技术应用的障碍。然后，通过审查最近出现的四个关键信通技术发展趋势并评估其对减少部署障碍的潜在影响，探讨了解决办法。我们的贡献是双重的：它通过介绍多式联运领域现有和新出现的信通技术应用以及电子化多式联运面临的障碍的最新概况，推进了当前的知识。它还收集了行业中的一些最佳做法，旨在通过分析创新地利用最新技术发展如何可能降低采用多式联运信通技术的障碍，并导致更一体化的货运网络，在从业人员和学术界引发辩论。为进一步的研究奠定了基础。(C)2014作者由爱思唯尔公司出版
The role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in freight transport as key enabler is well recognised. However the uptake of recent ICT advances for multimodal freight transport provisions in the UK and Europe has been slow. The aim of our paper is to explore the potential reasons for such a slow adoption and assess how recent technological advances such as cloud computing and Internet of Things might have changed the landscape and thus help to overcome these barriers. Via an extensive review of 33 EU framework programme projects, we are able to consolidate and present current major efforts in ICT developments in the freight multimodal transport setting at European level. We further discuss barriers inhibiting quick take-up of ICT applications in multimodal transport. Resolutions were then explored by reviewing four key ICT development trends recently emerging and evaluating their potential impact in reducing such barriers for deployment. Our contribution is two-fold: it advances current knowledge by presenting an up-to-date overview of existing and emerging ICT applications in the field of multimodal transport and barriers to e-enabled multimodal transport. It also captures some of the best practices in industry and aims to provoke a debate among practitioners and academics via the analysis of how innovative use of recent technological developments could potentially lower the barriers to multimodal ICT adoption and lead to a more integrated freight transport network. Therefore it lays the foundation for further research. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
