Abstract:

 The present requirement for efficient road-based freight operations alongside sustainability and flexibility demands next-generation solutions ‎to handle existing operational difficulties, environmental stressors, and economic performance barriers. This paper envisions the next-generation solution of MAAFS that entails the following: The modular design of trailer units exists alongside swarm-intelligent vehicles that ‎incorporate energy-harvesting systems through which freight control operates in real-time virtually. Trailer equipment featuring transport ‎functions boosts intermodal functionality as well as improves control over shipment management. Real-time vehicle interaction supports ‎both safety improvements and fuel consumption reduction through compassionate swarm intelligence autonomous convoy systems, assessed ‎by licensed authorities and the government. Solar panels utilizing movement dynamics and braking systems with regenerative capabilities ‎and equipment integration of hydrogen hybrid technology boost range extension while reducing exterior power requirements. The vehicle ‎achieves safety goals with its smart sensors and intelligent suspensions through enhanced cargo load-handling capabilities and intelligent ‎load distribution and surface reaction features. A cloud-based freight management system that uses AI helps fleets operate more efficiently ‎and achieve significant cost and time savings through predictive maintenance functions. The use of the MAAFS approach is expected ‎to bring the following benefits, thus extending the chance for reformation of the road freight transport sector: CO2 emissions reduction, ‎efficiency improvement, cost decrease, and safety improvement. This paper introduces MAAFS's conceptual design while proposing practical ‎applications based on recent research findings and focusing on future work directions for global supply chains that need dynamic upgrades‎.
