Digital Transformation is a broad initiative to build a new networked information society, driven by information and communication technologies that explore, collect, analyze and distribute data through global telecommunications networks. In today's world, an important strategic issue known as the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" introduced by Germany in 2011[1]. The fierce competition in the market has forced companies to improve their supply chains in chains smart. In doing so, the system improves efficiency, agility and speed of response to the ever-changing global market. The technologies of Industry 4.0 allow companies to achieve long-term objectives by reducing production and transport times thanks to the organization of the supply chain.[2] The Fourth Industrial Revolution gave birth to several avenues of research, mainly related to artificial intelligence. The concept of digitization has touched all logistical links and transport is no exception. One of the most contentious ideas is decentralized freight intelligence, which implies that top-down control of transportation freight will give way to a bottom-up strategy. Providing a research viewpoint on the idea of decentralized freight intelligence in transport 4.0-that is, autonomous freight making localized routing decisions-is the aim of this paper. The paper will include The analysis is based on a review of the academic literature on decentralized intelligence in transport 4.0. Among the many conceptual findings, the analysis highlights the difficulties in introducing and implementing decentralized freight concepts in transport 4.0 and shows a dearth of research on the subject.
