Bottlenecks in freight transport occur at transshipment terminals, motorways, ports, and border control points. Big Data systems ingest real-time feeds from GPS tracking, customs declarations, terminal capacity, and weather forecasts to forecast these congestion events hours or days ahead. Predictive models alert forwarders and shippers to emerging bottlenecks, enabling route changes, departure time adjustments, or capacity reallocation—often the only way to meet strict delivery windows in just-in-time supply chains.
