Abstract

This chapter explores the introduction, development, influence, and potential impacts of autonomous heavy-duty vehicles in the Canadian commercial transportation industry. Although still developmental, this technology can change operational processes in a transport organization. The discussion incorporates a framework from government regulatory standards and objectives. It includes academic reviews, journal articles from respected institutions, and editorial sites. The autonomous truck revolution will happen, but it remains unknown when it enters the Canadian trucking industry. The operational management role in this revolution is awareness of ongoing technological advancements. The need for development and adaptation could take years from those initial tests, and many barriers must be overcome. This chapter provides a better understanding of the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles' operational processes and identifies how managers can implement and prepare for the transition.
