Intelligent Cargo in Efficient and Sustainable Global Logistics Operations

1. Intelligent Cargo in Efficient and Sustainable Global Logistics Operations www.i-cargo.eu

2. WP 1 - Common Framework Alignment and Specification iCargo Project Review, December 5th, 2012

3. WP 1 Objective • Provide common foundations (including semantics) for cooperative planning, execution and completion of co-modal, low-carbon freight transport, taking into account: • The viewpoint and requirements of the different private and public involved stakeholders; • On-going industry and standardization activities; • Relevant physical and logical entities that need to be included in the iCargo common framework.

4. 5 business level innovations Business level innovations • Overall goal: support new logistics services to: • Synchronize vehicle movements and logistics operations across various modes and actors to lower CO2 emissions, • Adapt to changing conditions through dynamic planning methods involving intelligent cargo, vehicle and infrastructure systems and • Combine services, resources and information from different stakeholders, taking part in an open freight management ecosystem. (from the DoW)

5. 1. Collaborative planning Business level innovations • Objective • Pooling and sharing resources • Outlook • Cooperating partners in a specific business community publishes availability of services and demand. • Based on this visibility, organizations can decide to cooperate, e.g. combining shipments • Effect • Lower cost and emissions

6. 2. Logistic chain composition • Objective • «Amadeus for Freight» without a central database holding all services • Outlook • A distributed eCatalogue of logistics services that may be searched and services composed into appropriate chains automatically • Effect • Automatically providing the possible logistic chains for a certain shipment, composed of the available transport services.

7. 3. Re-planning of logistic chains • Objective • Provide ways to re-plan and change the logistic chain as goals change. • Outlook • Reusing all available capabilities for planning “on the fly” • Effect • Ensuring the best possible execution at all times

8. 4. Optimising the use of resources • Objective • Provide the best possible resource utilisation. • Outlook • Logistic service providers are able to really be “situational aware”. • Effect • Reduced cost • Reduced emissions

9. 5. Monitoring environmental performance • Objective • Measure environmental performance from both shippers’ and logistics service providers’ point of view. (iCargo concentrates on CO2) • Outlook • The environmental performance of all door-to-door transport operations is measured and reported • Effect • Environmental visibility in transport

10. Common Framework • Built on the UN/CEFACT core components • Promoted for international standardisation
