IA et optimisation du transport
Tournées, choix des transporteurs, heures d'arrivée, agents IA dans le fret, camions autonomes : l'actualité de l'IA dans le transport de marchandises.
Le transport concentre une grande partie des coûts logistiques et des émissions. L'IA y est utilisée pour construire les tournées, choisir les transporteurs, prévoir les heures d'arrivée, remplir les camions et, de plus en plus, automatiser les tâches administratives du fret : cotations, prises de rendez-vous, suivi des litiges.
Deux mouvements dominent l'actualité : les agents IA chez les commissionnaires et les courtiers en fret, qui traitent e-mails et appels à la place des opérateurs, et les véhicules autonomes, encore limités à certains axes et à des sites fermés. Dans les deux cas, la qualité des données de suivi conditionne les résultats.

Questions fréquentes
Que fait un TMS doté d'IA de plus qu'un TMS classique ?
Il ne se contente pas d'enregistrer et de suivre les expéditions : il propose le transporteur et le mode, anticipe les retards à partir des données de suivi et recommande des actions correctives.
L'optimisation de tournées, est-ce de l'IA ?
Historiquement, c'est de la recherche opérationnelle. L'IA la complète en estimant mieux les temps de trajet et de livraison, et en réoptimisant les tournées en cours de journée.
Où en sont les camions autonomes ?
Des services commerciaux existent sur certains axes autoroutiers et sur des sites fermés (ports, entrepôts, mines). Leur généralisation dépend de la réglementation, variable selon les pays, et des preuves de sécurité.
