Blockchain, IoT and AI in logistics and transportation: A systematic review

Abstract

Delivering the finest products to consumers at the optimal time, in the perfect location, at the right price, and with the highest quality - these are well-known requirements for logistics and transportation. However, in a dynamic context, it is getting more difficult to achieve these needs. There is a transition from traditional to smart supply chains. The highly dynamic logistics market and the complexity of supply chains require new methods, and services. Aspects such as flexibility, adaptability and traceability are becoming more important and can only be accomplished through the integration of new technologies, especially Blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence( AI). Therefore, this paper aims to conduct a systematic review of the academic literature on Blockchain, IoT and AI in the context of Smart Logistics.
