ITS in Freight ITS New Zealand Summit Auckland NZ Dick Schnacke, Vice President, Transcore, USA Bill Johnson, TRENDS Consulting, Canada October 5, 2016

Outline ITS in Container Management Dick Schnacke, Chair of ISO/TC104 and ISO/TC204 ITS for Regulated Freight Vehicles Bill Johnson, International Convener ISO/TC204/WG7 Autonomous Freight Vehicles Bill Johnson, International Convener ISO/TC204/WG7

ITS in Container Management Dick Schnacke, VP – TransCore, USA Chairman, ISO TC204 (ITS) Chairman, ISO TC104 (Freight Containers) So someone thought I should speak on ITS for containers

Freight Containers Indispensible in goods movement today Approximately 26 million worldwide Mostly a ‘low-technology’ business

Containers Moved in Many Ways

..and in Huge Numbers Up to 18,000 TEU on a ship Zillions stored at terminal locations

Primary Areas of Concern Tracking Where is it? When is it expected? Monitoring Is it secure? Has anything been taken out? Has anything been put in? In Summary: Cargo Visibility

Today Lots of manual operations Manual seals Manual inspections

Tomorrow Automation as direct replacement for manual

TC104 Organization (TC104 = Freight Containers) SC1 = General Purpose Containers WG1 = General Cargo Containers WG2 = Handling and Securing JWG3 = Container Straddle Carriers (with TC110/SC2) SC2 = Specific Purpose Containers WG1 = Thermal Containers WG4 = Tank Containers SC4 = Identification and Communication WG1 = Coding, Identification & Marking WG2 = AEI for Containers & Related Equipment WG3 = Communication & Terminology WG8 = Mechanical Seals

CTMS – the Newest Initiative Container Tracking & Monitoring System Mature work item (~ 4 years old) Tiered requirements – very challenging ISO TS18625 in draft review Communication Interface Infrastructure e.g., reader, satellite, cellular Device(s) e.g., CTD Operator Information Management System Next meetings: Nov. 1-2, 2016 Atlanta, GA, USA Mar. 6-10, 2017: Paris France

Further ahead Highly automated processes, giving access to lots of information at low cost

New Materials & Capabilities Use of non-metals (strength & durability) Embedded systems & devices Safety, Security & Efficiency

The Dream of the Logistics World   δ To the roadside   Device readers Long-range radio Electronic seal   Container

So...Why Hasn’t It Happened? Intermodal industry is not healthy Economy is down, goods movement is down Many assets sitting idle Carriage rates have dropped in parallel Profitability way down Mergers & bankruptcies $$$ not available for investment But things will improve and intention is to have ITS-based solutions available

ITS for Freight Transport Innovation for Freight Transport Policy Objectives: ▪ Safety ▪ Security ▪ Efficiency ▪ Customer service ▪ Environmental goals ▪ Community acceptance ▪ Adaptable to future needs ▪ Intermodal integration ▪ Multimodal services Innovation Requires a Comprehensive Approach as well as attention to detail

ITS for Freight Transport Innovation for Freight Transport – Examples of comprehensive approach - trade & transport links Canada’s Gateway Projects – Focal points for transshipment and international trade: ▪ Pacific Gateway – Asia to North America ▪ Continental Gateway – Central Canada to USA ▪ Atlantic Gateway – North America to Europe/Asia Source of examples and graphics: Transport Canada

Canada’s Gateways Pacific ↓ Continental ↓ Atlantic ↓

Canada’s Pacific Gateway Vancouver – example of typical transshipment centre Marine Port Container Port Airport Rail Head Truck Terminal Storage Intermodal connections Serviced by all modes connecting to Canada and USA

Canada’s Gateway Projects - $14.5 billion Gateway Total Projects Infrastructure ITS Pacific 38 34 4 (*) Continental 30 27 3 Atlantic 26 23 3 (*) Pacific Gateway Projects benefiting freight transport: ▪ Marine Container Examination Program ▪ Regional Traffic Management Centre ▪ Advanced traveller information system to border X-ing ▪ Commercial vehicle inspection station upgrade

ITS for Freight Transport Roles of Transshipment Centres: Transfer freight from one mode to another to facilitate continuation of its journey to its destination Transfer data describing each freight shipment from the incoming mode to next stakeholder in supply chain Short term storage for cargo (e.g. containers, auto parks) Issues: paper records and manual transmission of data to next link in supply chain can lead to delays, errors and costs

ITS for Freight Transport TC204 Opportunities: Develop common data definitions and message sets for use by all supply chain stakeholders to track containers and contents - Data definitions and message sets (ISO TS 24533 DD & MS) - Governance model to maintain (ISO TS 17187 Governance) - Freight content id & communication (ISO 26683) current work item monitors agriculture content (ISO PWI 26683-3) Automotive visibility in the supply chain - identifies each automotive in supply chain uniquely by vehicle description and location (enroute and in storage lots) (ISO 18495) Used in field trials to test operational feasibility between Kansas and China and again between Vancouver and China

ITS for Regulated Freight Vehicles Innovation opportunities for regulated vehicles: Massive data is collected by regulatory agencies Data is provided by numerous transport firms There are many ITS service suppliers to collect and provide the information required by regulators Regulators can reduce their costs and ITS services can achieve greater efficiencies by imposing a standard for data definitions and methods of transmission to the regulatory agencies The objectives are efficient data collection, security of private data and enhanced market competitiveness for ITS services

ITS for Regulated Freight Vehicles Framework to link : - jurisdictions - ITS service providers - users of ITS services (transport firms) With provision for - certification of ITS service providers to ensure adherence to data standards

ITS for Regulated Freight Vehicles Title: Framework for cooperative telematics applications for regulated commercial freight vehicles or (TARV) for short TARV Structure: Consists of 22 standards including: - 7 elements common to all applications (examples: framework, communications, security, etc) - 15 elements (so far) for specific applications (example: driver work records, weigh-in-motion, etc)

Autonomous Freight Vehicles Introduction Automation of freight vehicle operations hold promise of significant benefits R&D is underway, for intercity truck trains and for in-city delivery services R&D is underway for freight vehicles on a modest scale

Autonomous Freight Vehicles Challenges Joining and leaving the queue Map database for infrastructure Interface with parking Last mile versus long haul Interaction with road traffic Aging work force (opportunity) Making a Business case Regulatory issues re: Hours of service; Labour rules Supply chain integration (opportunity)

Autonomous Freight Vehicles Potential benefits: Reduced labour costs for drivers Fuel savings with truck-trains Lower emissions from fuel savings Improved logistics coordination 24 hour vehicle operation and vehicle utilization

Autonomous Freight Vehicles Example development programs: Long haul – Daimler autonomous truck testing in Nevada, USA NEDO (Japan) is testing short (2 vehicle) truck platoons that measured 16% fuel savings Europe (Germany) has tested truck trains on main highways In-city delivery (Domino’s Pizza) – sidewalk friendly delivery robots Ensuring safety in congested traffic is a major challenge
