Shifting Economic Power The increase in the economic power of the BRIC

countries will change trade patterns from East to

West to South to South and North to South

Environmental changes will manifest themselves in

water scarcity, hunger, coastal flooding and extreme

weather conditionsGlobal Warming

Energy Volatility of fuel prices, along with scarcity will

manifest itself in high prices for carbon based power

while alternatives will have a limited impact

Demographics Changing populations characteristics will drive trade in

different directions as requirements and needs change

Trends Potential Outcomes

FIVE MEGA-TRENDS

Technology Smart infrastructures, autonomous vehicle

operations, shared resources, robotics and new

business models may enable logistics operations to

at last become “sustainable”

THE IMPACT OF THESE GLOBAL TRENDS CAN BE SEEN IN THE

LANDSCAPE OF NEW INNOVATIONS BEING INJECTED INTO THE

TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS DOMAIN

32

Automation

• Aging populations, unattractive work, cost

pressures, velocity requirements, volumes all are

driving a push to logistics automation

Autonomy• Smart infrastructures, scarce labor, regulations,

costs, asset utilization, etc. are driving the

development of autonomous logistics tools

Information• IoT devices, instrumented infrastructures, M2M

communications, V2V communications are all

creating more information logistics operators

Integration• Scale and scope economies, standards,

regulation, environmental requirements are all

driving logistics operators to integrate activities

Collaboration• Regulations, integration, information, autonomy

and automation are costly and will require

industry players to collaborate in their operations

and business models

REMOVING THE HUMAN ELEMENT FROM VEHICLE OPERATION

ALSO PROMISES TO LOWER CONGESTION AND INCREASE

SAFETY

For the past hundred years, innovation within the

automotive sector has created safer, cleaner, and

more affordable vehicles, but progress has been

incremental. The industry now appears close to

substantial change, engendered by autonomous, or

"self-driving," vehicle technologies. This technology

offers the possibility of significant benefits to social

welfare — saving lives; reducing crashes,

congestion, fuel consumption, and pollution;

increasing mobility for the disabled; and ultimately

improving land use. This report is intended as a

guide for state and federal policymakers on the

many issues that this technology raises. After

surveying the advantages and disadvantages of the

technology, RAND researchers determined that the

benefits of the technology likely outweigh the

disadvantages. However, many of the benefits will

accrue to parties other than the technology's

purchasers. These positive externalities may justify

some form of subsidy. The report also explores

policy issues, communications, regulation and

standards, and liability issues raised by the

technology; and concludes with some tentative

guidance for policymakers, guided largely by the

principle that the technology should be allowed and

perhaps encouraged when it is superior to an

average human driver.

37

• Automated Vehicle Technology Offers Several Benefits

• Without driver error, fewer vehicle crashes will result.

• The mobility of the young, the elderly, and the disabled will be

increased.

• Traffic flow could be more efficient and congestion decreased.

• Vehicle occupants could spend travel time engaged in other

activities, so the costs of travel time and congestion are reduced.

• Fuel efficiency can be increased and alternative energy sources

facilitated.

• Because such vehicles won't need proximate urban parking, space

used for parking could be repurposed.

• There Are Possible Drawbacks

• Because the technology would decrease the cost of driving,

congestion might increase, rather than decrease.

• Occupations and economies based on public transit, crash repair,

and automobile insurance might suffer as the technology makes

certain aspects of these occupations obsolete.

• Policy Implications Include Liability and Regulation Issues

• Manufacturer liability is likely to increase while personal liability is

likely to decrease. If a vehicle and a human share driving

responsibility, the insurance issues could become more

complicated. A variety of solutions exist if this poses a problem.

• Inconsistent state regulation poses a risk — if 50 states have 50

different regulations, it would be difficult for manufacturers to

match them all; likewise, vehicle owners might not be able to

travel outside their state of residence.

• Because many of the benefits of autonomous vehicle technology

accrue to those other than the purchaser, subsidies or taxes may

be necessary in order to maximize social welfare by equalizing the

public and private costs and benefits.

OF THE CENTURY

39

Page 38: OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD - Chalmers€¦ · opportunities ahead: megatrends and their potential impacts prof. dr. j. rod franklin, p.e. dean of programs academic director, executive education

BIG DATA RESULTS FROM THE INCREASED USE OF THE

INTERNET TO BUY, INTERACT WITH, REPORT ON, MONITOR,

VISUALIZE AND STORE THINGS

• The majority of data generated

today is the result of electronic

image creation, video

streaming, surveillance images,

blogs, email, online catalogues,

etc.

• Autonomous data sources (i.e.,

the Internet of Things), such as

autoID tagged items,

automobiles, mobile telephones,

webcams and sensor networks

are also adding to the electronic

data that is generated

• All of these sources of data

create vast amounts of

unstructured and difficult to

process data that form what

industry calls “Big Data”

FOR LOGISTICS COMPANIES, VALUE FROM DATA ARISES IN

FOUR PRIMARY AREAS

41

Strategic Direction

Operational Improvement

Improved Customer Service

New Business Opportunities

Big Data Value Dimensions for Logistics Service Providers

Better information on markets, political

situations, goods flows, etc. allow LSPs to

anticipate where they should be investing

and developing new goods and services

Real time information on goods flows,

traffic, customer demands, weather, and

resources can assist LSPs in optimizing

routes, asset utilization and resource use

Multiple touch points with customers, shippers,

suppliers and regulators allow LSPs to gather

data on sentiments and needs creating

opportunities to better serve stakeholders

Aggregation of data on goods flows by locale,

region, and lane and integrating these data with

macroeconomic data, environmental data, etc.

allows LSPs to create new business

opportunities

48

Page 47: OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD - Chalmers€¦ · opportunities ahead: megatrends and their potential impacts prof. dr. j. rod franklin, p.e. dean of programs academic director, executive education

HOWEVER, WHAT IS ACTUALLY NEEDED IS AN ENTIRELY

DIFFERENT APPROACH IF TRUE IMPROVEMENT IS TO BE

REALIZED

• Why are we all optimizing our small piece of the pie and not the pie itself?

• Why are we operating like technology is there to make what we do more

efficient and not something that could change the industry?

• Why do we believe that in the future transport vehicles will be operated as

they are today?

• Why do we ignore advances in smart infrastructures that result in

dramatically different uses of the infrastructure?

• Why do we believe that our current logistics and transport models are

appropriate for megacities?

• Why are we concerned about owning assets that become obsolete more

rapidly than ever?

• Why are we seeking answers concerning the future by looking in

the rear view mirror?

Page 50: OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD - Chalmers€¦ · opportunities ahead: megatrends and their potential impacts prof. dr. j. rod franklin, p.e. dean of programs academic director, executive education

THE CHANGES OCCURRING IN OUR WORLD ENSURE THAT

NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE DOING TODAY, OPERATIONS

TOMORROW WILL DEFINITELY NEED TO BE DIFFERENT

Global change is an important topic

for all of us

Global operations and changing

market pressures are challenging

current “taken for granted” models

New thoughts and ideas are

needed to allow industry to move

beyond where it is today

If we do not take action ourselves

governments and non-traditional

competitors will make decisions for

us

If we don’t act soon, irreversible

damage may occur

Creative new approaches, e.g., the

Physical Internet will be required to

achieve the goals needed

It is truly time to “go where no man

has gone before”

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the
