In the 21st century, logistics has emerged as a leading and complex field. Logistics deal with everything involving planning, organising and managing activities that provides goods or services [1]. Main factors that have contributed to the emergence and complexity of logistics include: globalisation, outsourcing, contract manufacturing, shortened product life cycles, multi-channel distribution and the need for adequate return channels.Complex logistics arrangements can result from the combination of different sorts of transportation like road, sea and air. For example, port operations are a complex arrangement in where road transportation can be seen as a feeder to sea transport. In regard of this, the UK is in a privileged position to generate and exploit the synergies associated to the logistics of port operations, in particular short sea routes. According to the European Commission (2007) sea routes (short sea) between neighbouring countries today offer high quality regular services that can be combined with other transport modes to provide efficient alternatives [2].Today, in logistics the use of internet-based applications such as web services, and technologies such as RFID, cellular networks, GPS-enabled devices, Wi-Fi and 3G among others have made possible to experience levels of visibility, control and connectivity never experienced before. In road transportation, applications based on WiMax, cellular infrastructure, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have been adopted to provide certain connectivity. For example, by using the cellular infrastructure to reach the Internet network an embedded mobile phone in a given vehicle can get access to the network by using GPRS from a network operator . However, still there are several limitations associated to current ICT technologies. For example, one main problem is that available services have to hop between different technologies like cellular networks, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G and WiMax, resulting in reliability and connectivity problems, not to mention problems associated to limited range, scalability and security. Therefore, by using heterogeneous ICTs there is a high risk of experiencing performance downgrade to the solutions designed to manage road transport logistics.Road transportation logistics have specific needs in terms of ICT. According to the 2007 Commercial Vehicle Telematics Conference [5] some ICT-related issues affecting the sector include:- An infrastructure where data and security layers ensure that all business critical data is not destroyed or corrupted- Integrated application in replacement of commercial telematics with limited range and reliability- For all fleet managers the elimination of expensive roaming and administered multicarrier agreements- Increase visibility and productivity of a supply chain through integration with on-board GPS tracking systems leading to routing and traffic solutions- The creation of a seamless supply chain where planning and replenishment activities will be completely automated- Become a true interlinking technology that facilitate seamless interoperability- Provide in-vehicle integration comprising location enabled services, communication capabilities, safety and security solutions, routing information and detailed management reporting- Help fleet managers adhere to anti-idling rulesTo address the issues listed above and in order to be able to run road transport logistics without the problems that have plagued current technologies in use, serious consideration has been given to one wireless solution which promises to be more reliable and which is still under development and subject to standardisation for massive deployment: Direct Short Range Communication (DSRC). DSRC promises to overcome the limitations associated to the use of heterogeneous technologies such as security, breakdown in IP mobility and lack of seamless handover. Up to now, this technology is still in development.

进入世纪，物流已成为一个前沿而复杂的领域。物流涉及计划，组织和管理提供商品或服务的活动[1]。促成物流出现和复杂化的主要因素包括：全球化、外包、合同制造、产品生命周期缩短、多渠道分销和对充足退货渠道的需求。复杂的物流安排可能是由不同类型的运输（如公路、海洋和航空）组合而成。例如，港口业务是一种复杂的安排，其中公路运输可被视为海上运输的支线。在这方面，联合王国处于有利地位，可以产生和利用与港口业务物流相关的协同效应，特别是短途海上航线。根据欧洲联盟委员会（2007年）的报告，[2]今天，在物流中，使用基于互联网的应用程序，如网络服务，以及RFID，蜂窝网络，GPS功能设备，Wi-Fi和3G等技术使人们能够体验到前所未有的可见性、控制力和连接性。在公路运输方面，采用了基于WiMax、蜂窝基础设施、蓝牙和Wi-Fi的应用程序，以提供一定的连通性。例如，通过使用蜂窝基础设施来到达因特网网络，给定车辆中的嵌入式移动的电话可以通过使用来自网络运营商的GPRS来接入网络。然而，目前的信息和通信技术仍有一些局限性。例如，一个主要问题是可用服务必须在不同技术（如蜂窝网络、Wi-Fi、3G、4G和WiMax）之间跳跃，从而导致可靠性和连接性问题，更不用说与有限范围、可扩展性和安全性相关的问题。因此，通过使用多种多样的信通技术，公路运输物流管理解决方案的性能很可能会下降。根据2007年商用车远程会议[5]，影响该行业的一些ICT相关问题包括：- 数据和安全层确保所有业务关键数据不被破坏或损坏的基础设施-集成应用程序，以有限的范围和可靠性取代商业远程信息处理-对于所有车队管理人员，消除昂贵的漫游和管理多载波协议-通过与车载GPS跟踪系统集成，提高供应链的可见性和生产力，从而实现路由和交通解决方案-创建无缝供应链，计划和补给活动将完全自动化-成为真正的互联技术，促进无缝互操作性-提供车载集成，包括位置启用服务，通信功能，安全和安保解决方案，路线信息和详细的管理报告-帮助车队管理人员遵守反空转规则为了解决上述问题，并且为了能够在没有困扰当前使用的技术的问题的情况下运行道路运输物流，已经认真考虑了一种无线解决方案，该解决方案承诺更可靠，并且仍在开发中，并且受到大规模无线通信的标准化的影响。部署：直接短程通信（DSRC）。DSRC承诺克服与使用异构技术相关的限制，例如安全性、IP移动性故障和缺乏无缝切换。到目前为止，这项技术仍在开发中。
