Objective
- Comprehensive optimization supply and waste disposal logistics within the city of Duisburg under consideration of economical aspects in order to reduce environmental damages caused by transport.
- A project put into practice to demonstrate that it is possibe - via a telematic network - to create a logistics which meets the requirements to avoid and reduce traffic and change to environmentally acceptable traffic means.
Intent of the project is a city-logistics concept into which all participants in supply and waste disposal take part. The concept is based on the condition that all participants use voluntarily a software, which has still to be developed during this pilot project, the so-called City-logistics manager.
The City-logistics manager coordinates transports between short- and long-distance traffic as well as between the transport means road/rail and its aim is to replace ways by information.
To develop the City-logistics manager interfaces were created to already applied software modules. This is a quick way to build up a highly complex system for all transport means which also includes, for example, optimization of rail shunting processes. Totally new programming is only necessary for interface functions and in cases where no software is available to set up part concepts. Software prototypes are also used.
The complexity of this project requires a work team which is experienced in the broad range of basic and practice-oriented research and includes systems specialists and users. This requirement is met by the participating project partners. Furthermore, the project is accepted and supported by the work group, Dez.GVZ-DUNI. This work group includes representatives of transport, trade and industry as well as of municities and associations. Some users have already been found who are ready to do some of their transports via this system during the 6 months test phase of the City-logistics manager.
