The challenge
Traditional truck transport is only as efficient as the driver.
The trucking industry is vital to the economic health of the nation.
Trucking plays a key role in maintaining effective supply chains for industries including manufacturing, healthcare and food.
Struggling to keep up with high demand, truck drivers spend long hours on the road, which can increase safety risks.
Trucking companies also have to deal with the huge costs incurred by fuel, drivers and downtime.

5G opportunities
Semiautonomous technologies in the trucking industry
5G has the potential to transform the transportation industry by enhancing the data compute required as fleets evolve their driver assist features and adopt autonomous technologies.
Rapid responsiveness is critical to realizing safe, efficient semiautonomous technologies.
The low lag (or latency) of 5G could help enable near real-time sense and response to changing road conditions and environments.
The throughput of 5G could eventually handle the large volumes of data gathered from sensors and cameras along select zones of highway.

A day in the life of a semiautonomous truck
-
- The truck uses a variety of sensors utilizing radar, lasers and cameras to create an internal map, computing traffic and obstacles and adjusting speed and direction accordingly.
Combining 5G and the computing power of multi-access edge computing (MEC) servers could enable ultralow latency and faster response for semiautonomous technologies.

- The truck’s specific location can be monitored from the company’s online platform so they know exactly what’s going on and when the truck arrives at its destination.
5Near real-time analytics into the fleet performance could help companies better manage and plan their supply chain and increase their efficiency.
