Concept and Considerations for the Development of an Information Database for Efficient International Freight Transport
International freight transport is a growing market and a crucial component of the global economy, enabling the seamless flow of goods across regions and supporting global trade. However, the industry faces significant challenges, particularly in road transport orchestration, due to the increasing complexity of operations and the demand for real-time decision-making. This study sketched the algorithmic and programming framework to address these challenges by presenting an optimized database architecture designed to improve decision support systems for freight transport. The proposed system architecture may leverage the flexibility and scalability of NoSQL databases to manage large, semi-structured datasets in the future, while REST APIs enable seamless integration and real-time data manipulation. To enhance usability and transparency, the system incorporates advanced data visualization tools, allowing stakeholders to derive actionable insights and improve operational efficiency. By focusing on areas such as real-time tracking, sustainability, and process optimization, this work not only addresses current operational needs but also provides a robust foundation for future developments, including advanced analytics and mobile application integration. This contribution supports the logistics industry's shift toward more adaptive, efficient, and sustainable transport solutions.
