While IQ tests offer us a numerical glimpse into the human ability to reason and cognitive abilities, how do you measure the intelligence of your smart transportation strategy?
With an IQ test score of 276 – nearly doubling “genius-level” intelligence – many recognize YoungHoon Kim of South Korea as having the highest IQ in the world. Determining the IQ of your transportation management isn’t as easy as tasking a test … or is it?
This article explores the concept of “smart transportation.” Further, it reveals how our approach to continuous learning, collaboration, and innovation ensures a transportation management solution that stays ahead of the class.
What is Smart Transportation?
A smart transportation strategy leverages technology, data insights, hands-on learning, collaboration, and industry best practices. The result is a fluid transportation system that provides efficiency, responsiveness, and adaptability to market conditions and your business needs. Smart transportation gives you greater control through end-to-end visibility, real-time data integration, and proactive management capabilities.
