Presentation Transcript

  1. The necessity of monitoring transport of goodsAn assessment on goods monitoring and its value for road authorities and users Civ.eng. Jan Erik Nilsen Netter, Norconsult AS, Trondheim Civ.eng. Sigmund Ellingsen, Norconsult AS, Trondheim VIKING Workshop - Best practices on monitoring deployment Kongens Lyngby, 5.– 6. October 2005

  2. The need for cargo transport information • Capacity calculations - Infrastructure utilization - Terminal area utilization - Traffic structure - Peak situations • Load units and cargo types registration - Commodities transported in units - Cargo volume and Unit utilization - Origin and destination and transport modes

  3. General Transport Model

  4. Issues regarding cargo transport • Road transportation - Volume and time of travel. - Control on dangerous goods on roads • Terminals - Need for storage and storage area - Intermodality aspects connected to type of cargo and transport modes • Transportation of cargo related to business growth • Privacy and legal issues (The Data Inspectorate) The Data Inspectorate

  5. Modelling goods transportation • Different models for cargo transport • NEMO • CUBE • Input data collection and quality • Output results from the models and accuracy

  6. Four types of standards that must be addressed • Technology standards • Data standards (Electronic Product Code (EPC)) • Conformance standards • Application standards (Freight Container, Supply Chain Applications of RFID, Product Packaging, Product Tagging) Photo from: www.aktiv-bilist.tripod.com

  7. AutoPASS in Norway Roads Ferries OBU

  8. The portal between Norway and SwedenThe Svinesund Connection

  9. Data collection solutions • Examples of prior projects and existing solutions. • DynamIT Time of travel measurements along E18 south-west of Oslo using the existing on-board units (tags) used in the electronic toll collection systems. • Interport EU-project addressing the introduction of electronic identification in a port environment to monitor the flow of goods. Demonstrators on 5 different port terminals. • Automated container terminals Sealand’s container terminal in Rotterdam is automated using electronic identification and automatic guided vehicles to monitor and control the placement of the containers on the terminal.

  10. Future possibilities improving existing technology • A suggestion on alternative use of existing data collection solutions. • To add cargo-information in existing ETC-tags. E.g. the use of more vehicle classes within the AutoPASS system. • The extraction of time-of-travel data from normal ETC-transactions. E.g. the time of travel from Trondheim to Orkanger along the E39. • Place separate ETC-tags on cargo-units and monitor these through the existing road tolling systems.

  11. Expanded use of AutoPASS technology Today Tomorrow

  12. Future possibilities using new technology • A short assessment on future solutions based on the development within the transport industry • Advanced OBUs for cargo tracking including both cargo unit and loading lists. • Online information to the driver, showing both guidance and planning information, and monitoring the loading/unloading of correct cargo. (Picking up the correct container at a container terminal) • Inventory control at rail- and port-terminals, also speeding up customs handling • Access control to port-terminals. ISPS

  13. Future possibilities using new technology • What best practice cases can be identified? Special roads for dangerous goods, best possible area utilization in terminals • What specific aspects can be regarded as best practice (if not the whole case)? Better statistics for given periods, for infrastructure planning and development • Are the best practices to the country in question, to a certain region or globally? Local, regional and world wide: Reliable statistics
