Outline Transport Logistics & ICT Logistics Action Plan Barriers to paperless integration Freightwise Framework e-freight multimodal e-Waybill IATA e-Airway Bill Technologies for paperless Transport Logistics Source: freightwise.info

Is ICT integration required? Efficient data exchange is crucial Complex transport and logistics networks Increase in freight volumes Freight transport key factor to socio economic development Changes to stock and production patterns

Multiple roles in the transport chain Transport User Transportation Network Manager Transport Regulator Transport Service Provider Source: freightwise.info

ICT integration in the Logistics Action Plan Paper free Electronic flow of information Ability to track and trace freight Standard interfaces Support from emerging technologies

Barriers to paperless integration Insufficient standardisation Legal requirements Data security and privacy issues to considered Data ownership Lack of uniformity and clarity

Freightwise Framework For whom? Transport Management Traffic and Infrastructure Management: Administration Aims & Objectives Support the co-operation of 3 sectors Support the modal shift of cargo flows Improved management and facilitation of information Purpose to simplify the phases of planning, executing and following up a Transport Execution Plan to identify Information Packages and also validate the processes between the roles in transport chain

e-freight Multimodal e-Waybill Why is it necessary? Challenges Evidence of contract Document often travels with cargo Lack of standardisation in liability rules Source: Cane T, Mattheis S, Tsoukos G, Focas C, Koliousis I, In Proceedings of E-Freight Conference, Delft (2012)

Electronic authentication must: Be uniquely linked to signatory Be capable of identifying signatory Be created using a means which can be maintained under the sole control of the signatory at all times Be linked to the authenticated data in such a manner that any subsequent change of the data is detectable Source: Cane T, Mattheis S, Tsoukos G, Focas C, Koliousis I, In Proceedings of E-Freight Conference, Delft (2012)

Technologies for paperless Transport Logistics Barcode & RFID Controlled collection of real time information Source: Permala et al, RFID- a supporting technology for paperless logistics. In proceedings e-freight conference 2011

Standardisation required for; RFID Standardisation GS1 ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) Standardisation required for; Radio frequency, data content, transmission protocol and message sets Benefits Cost savings Supply chain visibility Automation of the supply chain

Summary Transport Logistics can benefit from paperless integration Developments: Freightwise framework Multimodal e-waybill Barcode & RFID Barriers to be addressed in the future
