Section outline

  • Why is this Project Relevant for ALICE & the Physical Internet?

    • Logistics Networks

      • Open Network / living network
      Standard operational protocols
      E-transport documents

      • Information and data: Supply Chain Visibility / network visibility
      Visibility of mode capacity available
      Shipment needs knowing at system level
      Load and mode data decoupled
      Generic data integration platform enables seamless and integrated use of booking platforms. (Generation 0)

    • Systems of Logistics Networks

      • PI Operating System
      • Functional building blocks of PI including basic functionalities and services of PI
      • Federative platform for documents and data sharing
      • PI ISO/OSI model
      • Systems design should have good flexibility to adapt (layered structure)
      • Digitalisation/Virtualization of supply chains
      • Visualization of PI
      • Multimodal Logistics Networks interconnectivity protocols covering communications, load sizes, track and trace, reporting, etc.
      • Smart and automated contracting
      With the data integration platform, several different Transport management systems could be connected. (Generation 0)
      Generation 1
      • Definition of PI building blocks, functions and processes
      • Definition of PI Reference Architecture
