Driven by the development of world's technology, the concept of Internet of things (IoT) not only promotes the leapfrog development of global information technology, but also makes computer and communication technology realize further perfection. IoT technology enables the global sharing of network resources and the overall perception of information to achieve the goal of “interconnection of all things together,” which is the third wave of world's information industry development after the computer and Internet. Recently, the rapid expansion of IoT technology has made many conventional industries more intelligent. With the accelerated expansion of port traffic, many conventional ports are facing the transformation of operation mode. They urgently need to improve the service quality of infrastructure, comprehensive processing capacity for information and the optimized allocation of resources of their related logistics parks. Therefore, from the aspects of intelligent supervision, intelligent service and technology security, this study constructs the data envelopment analysis (DEA) framework of factors influencing the intelligent transformation of international commercial ports with the application of IoT technology. This study hopes to help port managers to improve the operational performance through an intelligent cloud connection, and to transform conventional port to intelligent commercial port 4.0 as soon as possible.
