Abstract
Multimodal supply chains are complex systems,
characterised by multiple changes in transport modes and
vehicles. This complexity increases the risk of theft,
untimely delivery and freight quality deterioration [1].
There is therefore a growing need to manage the security
and efficiency of consignments from door to door. Rapid
developments in security technologies and solutions are
enabling this by opening up new prospects for supply
chain security management, while new technologies are
enabling improved supply chain risk management against
crime and terrorism.
