Logistics Intermodal Systems
Logistic studies the management strategies in order to coordinate and organize the flow of material, information and people in different fields.Logistics Intermodal Systems (LIS) are logistics networks integrating different transportation services. LIS are designed to move goods from origin to destination in a timely manner and using intermodal transportation.LIS are dynamical and large scale systemsLIS decision making is a very complex processRecently, corporations and researchers are attracted by the key problem of using effectively and efficiently the latest developments of ICT for LIS operational management.

I.D. Inter-Disciplinary researchI.C. on Intelligent Cargo
It is based on two facts:– To utilize the technology to realize a deep
change in the logistics systems: the Cargo is an active subject
– This change has to involve different disciplines: ICT, logistics, economy and business modelling.

Main objectives:
• to develop suitable approaches and methodologies for the
definition of the decision/information architecture for real-
time management of logistic systems, at a regional or inter-
regional level
• to analyze how the definition of the information architecture
affects the decisional architecture of the system
• to identify global performance indexes of the logistic system
and to analyze how they are influenced by the definition of the
information architecture and by the decisional architecture

1. Definition of one or more models of the logistic
network, concerning the decision and information
architecture
2. Development of models for the management of
continuous logistic flows

QuestionnaireQuestionnaire
“Maieutical” approach to guide stakeholders:
What are your objectives?
Which strategies would do like to implement to achieve
your objectives?
What is the information needed to implement your
strategies?
Analysis of the results of the interviews: 20 Analysis of the results of the interviews: 20 stakeholdersstakeholders
• Main objectives: infrastructure managers choose
information accessibility, transport operators choose
service effectiveness and quality and cost reduction
• The strategies:
• Interaction and information exchange
• Knowledge about the state of the infrastructures as regards
congestion levels and unexpected events
• Localization and traceability of goods

Analysis of the results of the interviews: 20 Analysis of the results of the interviews: 20 stakeholdersstakeholders
• The stakeholders feel to need to better interact among
them, both in exchanging information and in taking decisions
• the quantity and the quality of the information available is
rather poor, scattered and informal
• there is few or no information-systems integration
• data entry is often repeated
• few information is available on the general state of the
logistics system
Definition of the minimal requirements Definition of the minimal requirements of SILI: four functionsof SILI: four functions
1. providing information about the state of the infrastructures
such as congestion, time of admission and unpredictable
events
2. providing information about management of hazardous
materials
3. providing information about management of papers via
telecommunication devices (especially with customs)
4. sharing data among transport operators about tracking and
tracing of vehicles and goods
SILI: an integrated ICT logistics systemSILI: an integrated ICT logistics system
• Start to initially implement the four functions and not a
complex ICT system (bottom-up approach)
• Perform a cost-benefit analysis for the first function
(provide information about the state of the infrastructures) :
• Costs are easy to identify
• Benefits are not clear, then a simulation approach is
applied on a case study
ConclusionsConclusions
A feasibility study of the integrated ICT-based logistics
system for the Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia is
performed in order to increase the efficiency of the
regional system and to support intermodal transport.
Four minimal specific functions are singled out:
• information about the state of the infrastructures • management of hazardous materials• management of papers via telecommunication
devices • sharing data among transport operators about
tracking and tracing of vehicles and goods
Case study: the Port of TriesteCase study: the Port of Trieste
We face the problem of the implementation of the first
function: the information about the state of the
infrastructures.
• Management of the truck traffic referred to the Port of Trieste,
in particular the ferry service between Trieste and Turkey
• The system is modeled and simulated in different conditions
characterized by a different level of information that is shared
between infrastructures and transport operators
