Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been one of the influential paradigms in the development of logistics transport functions. The introduction of IoT in logistics has impacted application areas such as capacity sensing, planning, route optimization, and energy management. However, most works presented so far assume the existence of physical addresses for all applications. This paper, as a result, deals with the logistics delivery inefficiency represented by the lack of physical addresses that is common developing countries. We adopt an IoT approach to propose a virtual addressing framework for tracking, monitoring, and managing package deliveries efficiently. The framework consists of a node network that provides address information virtually to enable better deliveries.
