    Abstract

    Freight transportation is a dynamic part of a country's economy and yield positive dimensions on GDP. This paper discusses the problems that why intelligent freight transportation, a prerequisite for the regional or international evolution and development, is relatively missing from the mainstream economic geography of Pakistan. This paper discusses the possible scenario-based impediments which hinder the intelligent operations of freight transportation in the region. The core scenario-based impediments discussed in this paper include; State Fleet Policy (SFP), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Infrastructure Management Systems (IMS), and City Logistics (CL). The role of the most direct key factors along with their negative projections on impact areas impeding smart transportation logistics are also highlighted in this research. For future research, these implications will also be validated via expert surveys or a Delphi-analysis.
