1        Introduction  

Transportation is the word which has to be exist for our daily convenience and it helped the economy to perform all the daily tasks very quickly. It gives use the fastest travelling capacity of human beings, goods etc. While transportation has emerged the supporting enhancements also took place with the help of different technologies. The support of this technology has made unpredictable revolution in the field of transportation. Logistics activities became very successful with the help of IT. While a global supply chain enables companies to leverage lower cost manufacturing, there are significant challenges imposed on transportation managers in ensuring products delivered over long distances arrive on time and are distributed to the right locations. Transportation costs are typically 5-6% of a company’s revenue and a major contributor to overall product costs. Better transportation management with effective technological support helps companies improve their overall supply chain efficiency. In this paper we have presented all those emerging technologies which are used for the successful transportation in the fields of logistics (viewlocity.com).
