  4. Logistics Intermodal Systems • Logistic studies the management strategies in order to coordinate and organize the flow of material, information and people in different fields. • Logistics Intermodal Systems (LIS) are logistics networks integrating different transportation services. • LIS are designed to move goods from origin to destination in a timely manner and using intermodal transportation. • LIS are dynamical and large scale systems • LIS decision making is a very complex process • Recently, corporations and researchers are attracted by the key problem of using effectively and efficiently the latest developments of ICT for LIS operational management.

  11. EUROPEAN INTER-DISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ON INTELLIGENT CARGO FOR EFFICIENT, SAFE AND ENVIRONMENT- FRIENDLY LOGISTICS • I.D.Inter-Disciplinary research • I.C. on Intelligent Cargo • It is based on two facts: • To utilize the technology to realize a deep change in the logistics systems: the Cargo is an active subject • This change has to involve different disciplines: ICT, logistics, economy and business modelling.

  25. A PRIN Italian project (a National Interest Research Project of the Ministry of Education, University and Research) Decision models for design and management of logistic networks characterized by high interoperability and information integration Scientific coordinator: Prof. Riccardo Minciardi, University of Genoa Project period: 24 months

  26. A PRIN Italian project • 5 research units: • Prof. Riccardo Minciardi, University of Genoa • Prof. Maria Pia Fanti, Polytechnic of Bari • Prof. Paolo Valigi, University of Perugia • Prof. Alessandro Agnetis, University of Siena • Prof. Walter Ukovich, University of Trieste

  27. A PRIN Italian project • Main objectives: • to develop suitable approaches and methodologies for the definition of the decision/information architecture for real-time management of logistic systems, at a regional or inter-regional level • to analyze how the definition of the information architecture affects the decisional architecture of the system • to identify global performance indexes of the logistic system and to analyze how they are influenced by the definition of the information architecture and by the decisional architecture

  28. A PRIN Italian project • 5 phases: • Definition of one or more models of the logistic network, concerning the decision and information architecture • Development of models for the management of continuous logistic flows

  29. A PRIN Italian project • Development of decisional models for logistic systems characterized by discrete-event dynamics • Analysis of specific problems and development of models for critical application sectors • Analysis of the impact of the information structure definition on the overall system performances

  30. Outline • Intermodal Logistic systems characterized by ICT (Information and Communication Technologies)integration • Some European, Italian and regional projects on integrated ICT-based logistics systems • The European project GOOD ROUTE • The European project EURIDICE • The PRIN Italian project • SILI: an integrated ICT-based logistics system • Conclusions of a feasibility study for an integrated ICT logistics system

  31. Integrated ICT logistics system • SILI • Sistema Informativo Logistico Integrato, • (Integrated ICT Logistics System), • Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, Italy • Objectives • To increase the efficiency of the regional logistics • To support intermodal freight transport

  32. Integrated ICT logistics system • How • Supporting the synchronization of the logistics operations • Promoting information exchange • Approach • Connecting the regional stakeholders, in particular the infrastructures (horizontal integration)

  33. Feasibility study Analysis in four phases: high-level analysis: review of the stakeholders, their objectives and functionalities of SILI arrangement of a questionnaire analysis of the results of the interviews definition of the minimal requirements of SILI

  34. High-level analysis • Stakeholders: • Transport operators • Infrastructure managers • Authorities • Information providers • Trade associations

  35. High-level analysis • Objectives: • Cost reduction • Effectiveness and quality • Providing access to the logistics systems • Environmental sustainability • Safety and security

  36. Questionnaire “Maieutical” approach to guide stakeholders: • What are your objectives? • Which strategies would do like to implement to achieve your objectives? • What is the information needed to implement your strategies?

  37. Analysis of the results of the interviews: 20 stakeholders • Main objectives: infrastructure managers choose informationaccessibility, transport operators choose service effectiveness and quality and cost reduction • The strategies: • Interaction and information exchange • Knowledge about the state of the infrastructures as regards congestion levels and unexpected events • Localization and traceability of goods

  38. Outline • Intermodal Logistic systems characterized by ICT (Information and Communication Technologies)integration • Some European, Italian and regional projects on integrated ICT-based logistics systems • The European project GOOD ROUTE • The European project EURIDICE • The PRIN Italian project • SILI: an integrated ICT-based logistics system • Conclusions of a feasibility study for an integrated ICT logistics system

  39. Analysis of the results of the interviews: 20 stakeholders • The stakeholders feel to need to better interact among them, both in exchanging information and in taking decisions • the quantity and the quality of the information available is rather poor, scattered and informal • there is few or no information-systems integration • data entry is often repeated • few information is available on the general state of the logistics system

  40. Definition of the minimal requirements of SILI: four functions • providing information about the state of the infrastructures such as congestion, time of admission and unpredictable events • providing information about management of hazardous materials • providing information about management of papers via telecommunication devices (especially with customs) • sharing data among transport operators about tracking and tracing of vehicles and goods

  41. SILI: an integrated ICT logistics system • Start to initially implement the four functions and not a complex ICT system (bottom-up approach) • Perform a cost-benefit analysis for the first function (provide information about the state of the infrastructures) : • Costs are easy to identify • Benefits are not clear, then a simulation approach is applied on a case study

  42. Conclusions • A feasibility study of the integrated ICT-based logistics system for the Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia is performed in order to increase the efficiency of the regional system and to support intermodal transport. • Four minimal specific functions are singled out: • information about the state of the infrastructures • management of hazardous materials • management of papers via telecommunication devices • sharing data among transport operators about tracking and tracing of vehicles and goods

  43. Case study: the Port of Trieste • We face the problem of the implementation of the first function: the information about the state of the infrastructures. • Management of the truck traffic referred to the Port of Trieste, in particular the ferry service between Trieste and Turkey • The system is modeled and simulated in different conditions characterized by a different level of information that is shared between infrastructures and transport operators
