Port Terminal Communication
Description
Port and In-Land Communication including standardized consignment notes fro all transportation modes (sea, intermodal (containers, swap-body), SWL, block trains). One common trasportation
Capability enabling Europe-wide standardized communication with ports, terminals and inland transport (including processes, technical specifications and data exchange) and , supported by IT workflows for data exchange, platform services or marketplace.
To simplify the communication between the RU and Local Operators (ports, terminals, ...) a standardized data exchange (including processes, technical specifications and data exchange) needs to be defined and implemented. This standard enables the Local Operator to communicate with the railway service partners
- along the standardized process
- with standardized messages and data formats
- over a defined and stable interface
- in a transparent mode.
This inter-modal workflow encompasses all relevant transportation modes
- railway
- sea
- road
- air
- and their mode changes
It tackles all traffic types.
- intermodal (containers, swap-body),
- SingleWagonLoad (SWL)
- block trains
This Broker service (-> Partner Integration Broker) offers
- to third parties to connect to the railway ecosystems for data exchange, platform services or marketplace participation for inter-modal transports.
- to the railway partners to simplify the communication with Local Operators and to facilitate the inter-modal traffic.
Use Case
Local Operator participates in the transport
The Local Operator participates in the transport planning together with the RU, Inter-modal Operator and Local service partners. The Local Operator handles this communication with the railway leg partners over the connectivity package.
Local Operator assists in the transport replanning
The Local Operator contribute to the transport replanning to adjust his own local plannings accordingly. The Local Operator handles this communication with the railway leg partners over the connectivity package.
Local Operator operates the transport
The Local Operator operates the transport to cope with operational events at his location . The Local Operator handles this communication with the railway leg partners over the connectivity package.
Use Case
Preconditions
Basic Services
Dependencies
SM12 Intermodal Alignment must be established to unify the communication with intermodal change point operators like ports, terminal, hubs.
Planned Steps
Evaluation
- Frank Kschonsak on 25 June
Currently we are aware of at least partly very proprietary port IT-solutions, which have to be fulfilled to have access to local services, e.g. in Hamburg. Are there already initiatives between e.g. the ports to standardize requirements for incoming and outgoing trains and shunting services?
