Proposal for an additional WP to the Trans2000 TBP pilot

Objetivo

The project "Trans 2000 - A paradigm shift for the Year 2000 European Virtual Multimodal Transport Operator" addresses freight forwarding networking and virtual logistics and related enabling IT solutions. Current participants include two European transport operators, one in Germany), one in Italy (namely Intertrasport SpA), together with a consulting firm (namely Kurt Salmon Associates GmbH, Germany) and a systems integrator (namely TXT Ingegneria Informatica SpA, Italy).

One of the factors that impact transport operators significantly has been recognised, through an International Survey of the Sector conducted in the early phases of Trans 2000, as "Track and Trace", that is, location management of both freight and vehicles.
One of the main outcome of such Survey has been to point out that not only this issue is of concern, but that few transport operators have operational systems for achieving it in real time. The survey results were presented at several Conferences throughout Europe and Australia during 1996, during which Australian participation in such a project was canvassed.
Australia is well advanced in the research and development of Geographic Positioning System (GPS) to improve the tracking and tracing of mobile assets, and has an apparent world lead in the use of digital telephony as a cost-effective transmission mechanism for this purpose. Little work, however, has been done to date on the quantification and qualification of economic benefit flowing to transport operators from the use of such devices, nor on the business re-engineering and human resource implications.
The new activity extends the currently running Trans2000 Project with an additional workpackage to be carried out in close co-operation with current members of the Trans2000 Consortium and Australian relevant organisations. The scope and goals of this WP encompasses:
establish pilot operations to explore the application of Geographic Positioning Systems (GPS) to transport service provision, using Digital GSM telephony, by adapting and deploying the OZTRAK system, developed by the Australian Participants;
to explore the business re-engineering implications of such a process;
and to quantify and qualify the "track and trace" benefits.
The participants from the EU are current partners in the main Trans2000 projects, namely ITG, KSA and TXT. ITG will subcontract to The T-Bear Company - a London, UK, based consultancy specialising in innovative business process modelling tools and techniques - the supply of the tools best adapted to design the new process models and the best-suited information system supporting the envisaged new business practices.
The partners from Australia are OZTRAK, BALLARAT University and the BELTEL 2010 Consortium, which are the owners of the technology which will be exploited in the Trans2000 extension.
It is planned that the Australian participants plan to carry out a parallel pilot in Australia (as explained in Section 4) and an additional activity (after the termination of Trans2000), aiming at integrating GSM and HF (High Frequency radio transmission) technologies, to obtain an all-terrain tracking and tracing system. Such system will be eventually exploited in Europe after the termination of the Trans2000.
