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 TransportationNetwork 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)
e-Waybill development • Independent of software implementation • Distributed software solution • Provided through e-freight access points (EAP) to form e-delivery infrastructure • e-Delivery infrastructure • Network • EAP • Creation of e-Waybill • Access to e-Waybill for numerous stakeholders • Transmission of e-Waybill between freight forwarder & consignee Source: Cane T, Mattheis S, Tsoukos G, Focas C, Koliousis I, In Proceedings of E-Freight Conference, Delft (2012)
Benefits Fully electronic paperless solution Immediate proof of delivery Potential for integration with other ICT services Secure e-Waybill management along entire transport chain Waybill information available in real time
IATA e-Airway Bill • Sharing of practice across transport modes • IATA eAWB • Benefits • Reduction in cost • Increased accuracy & real time access to information • Reduction in delays • How does it operate? • Electronic messages & signed EDI model agreement • Standard developed by IATA in 2009 • Future Targets Source: IATA.org

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