This document discusses emerging trends that will impact freight transportation in the digital future. It notes that demographic, social, economic, and technological changes are happening outside the freight industry. Examples of digital technologies influencing freight include increased use of sensors and data in vehicles, new modes of transportation like drones, more automation, and the sharing economy being applied to freight. Artificial intelligence and blockchain also show potential to transform operations through real-time decision making and increased transparency in supply chain records.
Things happening in, around, and to freight transportationPer Olof Arnäs
There are a lot of things happening OUTSIDE the freight industry. Some of these are global trends. There are also a lot of things, like digitalisation, happening TO the transport industry. And there are of course also things happening IN the transport industry (like automation, drones, blockchains etc,).
Presentation from Modelling World 2015 in London (June 4, 2015).
Big data is a game changer for the transportation industry - but the data need to be tamed.
E commerce and freight transport - Chasing the last mile, one byte at a timePer Olof Arnäs
The freight transport industry is facing large challenges when it comes to e-commerce. This rapidly growing sector has high demands on service and performance from the freight system - demands that are seldom met with satisfaction.
Digitization and digitalization are two forces of nature that the transport industry needs to harness and exploit in order to meet these demands.
REACH - Accesshantering i realtid för ökad transporteffektivitetPer Olof Arnäs
Presentation av forskningsprojektet REACH.
Ambitionen med REACH är att, genom digital realtidsinteraktion, möjliggöra individualiserade nyttor för enskilda transporter beroende på situationsspecifik data.
Vi vill inom projektet utveckla kunskap som möjliggör avancerat samarbete i realtid mellan infrastruktur/facilitet och fordon/farkost.
Meeting the future - Big data in freight transportPer Olof Arnäs
From a talk at the conference SJÖLOG 2015 showing how Big data can be applied in freight transport. The freight industry has a large potential for improvement here.
Freight transportation in the future - Some indicationsPer Olof Arnäs
This presentation highlights some of the notable trends and developments that are affecting transportation (freight) and logistics. The areas covered are digitalization, automation, "new" transport modes, sharing economy, real-time data driven decision making, block chain technology and servitization. Any and/or all of these may have profound impact on freight transport.

The current paradigm in freight transport is based on economies of scale, batch handling and standardization. In order to make the transport system more efficient, the industry may need to enter the real-time data world where informed decisions must be made in seconds on a large scale.
Skrivstuga.se - Writing for the web (workshop)Per Olof Arnäs
This lecture is a part of a workshop where researchers learn the basics of blogging. Skrivstuga.se is a sandbox site where the course participants write and interact in a closed environment (that also contains all the course material).
Do you work at a university? Do you want to tell the world what you are passionate about?
Of course you do.
Read more on http://skrivstuga.se on how you and your colleagues also can learn this.
Testimonials from participants:
"Lots of good information and fun to try. I had not thought of using social media like that in my research."
"Informing and inspiring. Very good with the hands-on exercise."
"The topic was very well presented and explained and I learned a lot about blogging, which I knew very little about prior to the lecture. The assignment was also very well organized, with an excellent website"
"Very interesting, useful and inspirational. I really liked the seminar and workshop"
"Even better and even more inspiring. And important, this should probably be more emphasized generally at the department. It is important for it to be seen, especially since our research is generally quite applied and graspable for the public."
"I thought this was really fun. It was interactive and it’s cool to see the blog posts rolling in and to read what others are writing and thinking about. This one I would do again to practice blog writing anytime!"
"Very interesting and fun."

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
