Objective
The aim of DOLPHINS project is to build an e-commerce platform where innovative telematic smart-maps can stimulate and facilitate new and existing business in short-sea-shipping. With these tools, based on low cost Intranet/Internet platform, people can remotely access information through an intuitive interface, linked to online database services and assistance. DOLPHINS will use on-line dynamic interactive smart-maps enable to provide intermodel solutions of transport.
DOLPHINS is a new e-commerce system, where smart-maps have the purpose to:
- combine booking, scheduling, negotiation, brokerage, payment and invoicing data in a timely and effective manner;
- connect users (MTOs, transport operators, ship-owners, shipping companies, forwarders, SMEs, etc.) together and allow them to share dynamically.
DOLPHINS will be a marketing instrument, extending the accessibility of user-friendly information to SMEs.
Work description:
Using smart-map technology, people can share and link multimedia information via time-sensitive animated maps. DOLPHINS employs low-cost internet/intranet TCP/IP platforms. An essential feature correlates time-series scheduling information with geographic/spatial and routing information. Remote users can access to this functionality easily using the world-wide-web.
In the negotiation phase, which will be achieved by combining scheduling and impact on pricing, clients can have a first level of "web-self-negotiation" according to their needs.
The smart map can be seen as an on-line interactive web-site able to offer real-time convenient solutions for intermodal transport.
