Advanced telematics has been enabling transportation companies, through cloud-based analytics, to track and monitor such factors as truck location, the health and fatigue of the driver, the temperature and barometric pressure of the freight, and so on. Telematics has also facilitated automated freight matching. The truck trailer, relying on sensors, is now determining the available space and weight, route, and ETA, and is transmitting this information to software, which in turn, is generating the most efficient and cost-effective scenarios for moving load. 2016 was a breakout year for new technologies in the commercial transport industry, given that many companies still resisted them. Amazon announced Prime Air, a new program that will deliver packages by drone to shoppers within 30 minutes of order placement. The first Prime Air shipment was completed in early December 2016 to a customer in England. Uber's autonomous trucking arm, Otto, made its maiden voyage in October, delivering 50,000 cans of beer via self-driving vehicle plying the Colorado highways from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. However, India is slightly struggling to nurture and harness the immense potential it has in terms of R & D and innovation. In a not so distant past, Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled from Sabarmati River to Dharoi Dam in North Gujarat in a Sea-plane. Now the social media and mainstream media were going all berserk at the unique flight, it wasn't that unique at all. The first Indian seaplane was launched in 2010, and named `Jal Hans', with commercial services launching in 2011 from Port Blair. Sadly, both India, and our deemed government administrative seem to have missed the seaplane party. The first ever production, the Felixstowe F.2 was built during World War I, for use by the British Royal Air Force and Royal Naval Air Service. That is 1917, if my history lessons were good enough. While there is scope, we need some acceleration. In this edition of CIOReview, we are bringing together some Indian players who look through these fallbacks towards a greater vision for the India Freight and Transport industry.
