Abstract

The aim of this case study is to summarize the most recent contributions by reviewing recent papers conducted on the adoption of innovative practices in the freight transport sector in addition to how their implementation in this sector will contribute to enhancing the road freight transport sector by concluding an overview of the obstacles and challenges standing against their incorporation in developing countries such as those in the Middle East. The role of the freight transport sector is increasing dramatically in most countries because most cargo is transported from point of origin to point of destination via roads.
