“Creating e-Freight solutions for efficient and sustainable multimodal transport” Takis Katsoulakos INLECOM eFreight12 Delft -19th April 2012

National Single Windows e-Freight Infrastructure e-Freight denotes the electronic flow of information, associating the physical flow of goods to regulatory or commercial decision support systems. It includes the ability to track and trace freight along its journey across transport modes and to automate the exchange of cargo-related data between stakeholders. Compliance Safety Security Environment Planning Monitoring Optimisation National Single Windows e-Freight Infrastructure Carrier System Terminal system HHD Hinterland carrier ERP

A method for developing e-Freight Solutions e-Freight Framework and related Standards used by e-Freight Development Platform Supports different implementation options Provides a repository of Facilitates the development of Stakeholder’s operational environments .NET, Java, Oracle, SQL, etc Support the execution of e-Freight Solutions Applications

The Blueprint for e-Freight Solutions is the e-Freight Framework A Reference Model de-composing the transport and logistics domain into manageable subdomains Functions performed by roles pertinent to each sub-domain Processes of the key functions in the transport and logistics domain Information models structuring the information being exchanged into standardised messages Transportation Network Management Logistics Demand Logistics Supply Regulation LSC LSP TNM TR TSD Transport Servise Description TEP Transport Execution Plan GII Goods Item Itinerary TS Transport Status CRS Common Reporting Schema MWB Multimodal eWaybill TPS Transport Progress Status

Unique Value Propositions Connectivity Infrastructure offering for the first time ever the possibility to transport stakeholder to connect together without use of centralised platforms Process integration based on e-Freight reference processes Automated compliance for shippers, freight forwarders, port and terminal operators and carriers Solution Building Blocks so that end users can choose what they need from simple connectivity to full optimisation of their operations

Connectivity Infrastructure e-Freight Assess Points (EAPs) Analogous to email between actors using standard messages defined in the e-Freight Framework or other standard and enhanced security EAP Existing IT infrastructure and data Connect once! Build your global network
