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

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

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

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