Keywords:
storage, distribution, tank trucks, artificial intelligence, IoT, secure transport.Abstract
This article analyzes the advancement of science in the field of storage and physical distribution, focusing on the integrated system of safe tank truck transport. In recent decades, technological evolution has significantly transformed this sector (Tseng, 2023). Innovations, such as the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, have enabled real-time monitoring of transport and storage conditions, improving operational efficiency and reducing the risks associated with handling hazardous liquids (Erkut, 1998). Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to play a crucial role in data management and decision-making. Through machine learning algorithms, it is possible to perform predictive analyses that optimize transport routes and prevent equipment failures, which not only improves safety but also contributes to the sustainability of the sector (eco-routing, 2022). Looking ahead, growth in the use of cloud storage is anticipated, facilitating system integration and access to large volumes of data (Ditta, 2019). The adoption of emerging technologies, such as automation and autonomous vehicles, promises to revolutionize liquid transport, offering safer and more efficient solutions (Ghaffarpasand, 2022). In conclusion, the advancement of science in safe tank transport presents both challenges and opportunities (Board, 2020). Continuous innovation in this field is essential to improving safety and efficiency in liquid handling, ensuring a safer and more sustainable future for the industry (Rodrigues, 2021).
