PROKAPA - Dynamic forecast-based capacity management for the implementation of physical Internet conditions

Section outline

  • Project Summary, Objectives and Expected Impacts

    Collapse all Expand all

    The objective of ProKapa is to support logistic service providers with suitable methods and enable them to react flexibly and adaptably to markets becoming more and more dynamic. They are to be enabled to adjust to challenges and innovations of the “Physical Internet“. Expected results of ProKapa are suitable methods and tools for the preliminary planning of transportation needs. Results are a stronger interconnection between data sources and recommendations of actions concerning the adjustment of capacity, the allocation of resources and pricing.

    • Logistics Nodes

      "Collaboration within nodes

      • Shared vehicles and infrastructures, and data

      Collaboration between nodes

      • Bundling flows between different nodes"

      With methods and tools for the preliminary planning of transportation needs for bundling of flows of goods could be managed. (Generation 0)

    • Logistics Networks

      With methods and tools for the preliminary planning of transportation needs for bundling of flows of goods could be managed.

      As part of booking platforms, the developed methods and tools are essential for goods booking platform to determine needed capacity and prices. This suitable methods and tools for the preliminary planning of transportation needs. Results are a stronger interconnection between data sources and recommendations of actions concerning the adjustment of capacity, the allocation of resources and pricing. (Generation 0)
