Smart Logistics Across Smart Border

This paper discusses how Smart Logistics could be linked with the Smart Border concept earlier proposed for the El Paso – Ciudad Juarez bi-national metropolitan area. The focus is on the international road and pedestrian bridges connecting these two cities as these were identified as bottlenecks for cross-border movement of goods and cross-border mobility of people. The proposal presents the basic strategic and operative framework. Examples of smart logistics measures that could be implemented on the border and beyond the border such as autonomous vehicles, micro depots and crowd shipping are presented and discussed. The paper shall be understood as the case for the cross-border logistics in relation to the Smart Border concept and as the starting point for further exploration.
