ARKTRANSThe Norwegian System Architecture Framework for Multimodal Transport Systems Marit NatvigSINTEF Telecom and Informatics
The ARKTRANS project • Phase1: September 2000 – September 2001 • Phase 2 : January 2002 – December 2004 • Participants • The Norwegian Public Road Administration (contractor) • The Norwegian Coast Administration • The Norwegian Civil Aviation Administration • The Norwegian National Rail Administration • The Norwegian State Railways • Telenor F&U • Ergo Solution • Transportbedriftenes Landsforening (professional body) • The SINTEF Group (technical manager/project leader) • User reference groups • Brings further the work done in the ARKMIN project
Overall background • Harmonisation between transport modes (road, railway, sea, air) • Transport is an inter modal matter • Same users, services, information, requirements etc. • Same shortcomings (dangerous goods, management of inter modal interfaces, etc.) • Harmonisation between freight and passenger transport • Same transport means, transport networks, and endpoints
Background:Problems related to information flow • The same information is requested by authorities, service users, service providers, transport users, etc. However: • Information cannot be transferred electronically between actors • The same information must be registered manually several times • Faults are introduces • Dangerous cargo in not handled according to the regulations • Cargo cannot be tracked on its way in the transport chain • Transport chains are not managed in a coordinated way (status, ETA, etc.)
Background:Problems related to efficiency and security • Lack of services or information that can improve safety or efficiency, or the available information is not utilised when transport is planned and accomplished • Availability of dynamic information must be improved • The utilisation of the transport networks must be improved • Information must be provided and presented in a way that fits the user • Route and traffic information for several transport modes must be combined and made available • Several actors are involved in freight as well as personal transport. However, the coordination is not as well as wished • Same needs with respect to fleet management and planning • Same needs with respect to on-board assistance and control

System Framework Architecture - Content Conceptual level Reference Model Why? Roles Logical level Functional Model Information Model What? Technical Level Physical Model Communication Model How? • Communication model that defines messages and communication solutions • Messages defined by the means of elements from the information model
Example: Exchange of met./oceanographic messages Manual observations Radar measurements Buoy measurements • ARKTRANS Meteorological Message • Location information (named, area, point, …) • Method used information (calculation/observation, equipment used, source, etc.) • Meteorological info (wave, current, water layer, etc.) Calculated prognosis based on models The user may request information of a specific type (calculation, observation, …) The user will receive the same message format in all cases The message describes how the data is generated
