A System Architecture for Intelligent Logistics System
Liying Chen, Xianghan Zheng, Guolong Chen · 2013
Conventional logistics information systems are usually designed case by case without consideration of many issues in fields of system elasticity, real time tracking service, information sharing and inter-working, vehicle routing optimization, customer interaction, security control, etc. In this paper, we investigate and propose a mobile cloud-based architecture for enrichment of existing logistics systems. The system architecture includes: customer interaction, distributed storage and computing, vehicle scheduling, restful-based interaction and transmission, security, mobile payment, etc. After that, prototype implementation and evaluation work are presented to show feasibility and efficiency of proposed solution.
