Abstract 

To overcome very common problems of the supply chain and transportation management such as uncertainty, cost and complexity, smart transportation management paired with the Internet of Things (IoT) gives one of the plausible solutions for processing lots of data, monitoring products and vehicles.

This paper is based on the analysis of a usage of IoT in transportation management, in terms of increasing delivery productivity and improving supply chain performance. The advantages and disadvantages of using embedded Internet technology in transportation management to become smart transportation, as well as capabilities for IoT network security and energy efficiency, are presented. The technical characteristics will be described and compared with technologies used in transportation management. Developing smart transportation management enables companies to collect and analyse lots of data, hence big data management will be discussed in combination with IoT and artificial intelligence (AI), where AI is in charge of data preparation in supply chain management and its usage in smart transportation management. 

Key words: Internet of things, smart transportation management, network security and privacy, big data
