Driving Digital Transformation: Ubiquitous Computing and IoT in Malaysian Transport and Logistics

This research paper explores the role of ubiquitous computing and Internet of Things (IoT) applications in the transport and logistics sector in Malaysia, driving digital transformation and economic growth. Ubiquitous computing is implanted in individual’s daily lives as people engage with computational devices and systems to perform tasks. In the context of Malaysia’s digital challenges, it can play a vital role in overcoming connectivity limitations, information access restrictions and inefficiencies in various sectors. It is possible to establish ubiquitous cities by incorporating ubiquitous computing into urban infrastructure. IoT applications within ubiquitous computing have immense potential to boost productivity, create new business opportunities and increase productivity. Implementing IoT technologies in areas like supply chain management, shipment tracking, and fleet management offers substantial cost savings and improved customer satisfaction. Ubiquitous transportation is an essential component of ubiquitous cities because transportation is one of the cities’ significant domains. This research presents the significance of ubiquitous computing and IoT in the transport and logistics sector in Malaysia, offering valuable insights and recommendations for effectively harnessing their potential to overcome challenges and encourage economic growth.
