Question

Connections between cargo vessels or trucks and transportation networks may eventually lead to the development of smart transportation modes that reroute in real time based on local traffic patterns, weather events, and accidents. Which of the following will someday enable such a possibility?a. Cloud computing b. The Internet of Things c. Supply chain analytics d. Strategic channel alliances

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The internet of things

Explanation:

The internet of things will someday make the scenario presented in the question become a possibility.

The internet of things is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital device composed of unique identifiers that enables the transfer of data over a network without requiring human to human interaction or even human to computer interaction. Thus, like in this case, connections between cargo vessels and transport network without the human factor will be a possibility because of internet of things.

What the internet of things does is that it allows closed private internet connections to communicate with others while bringing those networks together. It refers to the billions of devices around the world that are connected to the internet.
