Trajectory-Based Multimodal Transport Management for Resilient Transportation

Abstract

The transport of goods and persons with two or more transport carriers (road, rail, air, inland waterway, or sea) results in multipartite transport chains whose profitability depends on the cost-effectiveness of the transport carriers involved as well as on the capability of multimodal transport management. Currently, differences with regard to the technical equipment used and infrastructural facilities available as well as administrative and public organizational structures in place are the major obstacles to comprehensive multimodal transport management within and beyond European Union borders. Though information and communication technologies (ICT) have entered into all traffic and transport systems, the levels of ICT penetration achieved in controlling, monitoring, and managing of system operation and processes are currently quite different [1-5]. One of the reasons for that is the lack of homogenous ICT standards and, as a result, the technological barriers for interconnectivity between different systems, processes, applications, and stakeholders [2]. The proposed trajectory-based concept is considered as suitable approach to perform the smart and adaptable planning, operation, and management of systems with dissimilar structures, a wide diversity of actors, and distributed responsibilities. It is therefore expected that it will be especially well suited to facilitate multimodal transport management for future Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Based on the "transport trajectory" formulation introduced here, it will be shown that a trajectory-based status description is generally possible for all transport-relevant components and processes. The expected benefit of the trajectory-based transport management is illustrated by means of selected transportation scenarios.

Determination of factors of territorial connection of the country for development of multimodal air transport system

“…Interregional differentiation has reached a high level, which has led to changes in the quality and living standards of the population, its economic activity in cities located mostly in the European part of Russia, while in the Far East the trend is reversed; 3. Difficult geopolitical conditions make it difficult to protect the borders and, as a result, additional funds are needed to maintain border areas [13][14][15]; 4. The level of communication gap that exists in spatial development has reached a critical state.…”

Organization of Cargo Traffic Using Ferry Connections

“…Usually, this activity is performed by the forwarder, who takes into account the limitations of drivers' working time, available vehicles, specificity of the route, infrastructure and operation of transport network and determines the price and expected date of cargo delivery to the customer (Łukasik et al, 2018;Musso et al, 2010). The possession of reliable and sufficient data enables the forwarder to provide detailed analysis for determining the route and efficient cooperation among relevant actors (Engler et al, 2018;Moschovou et al, 2019).…”

Classification of Objects of Supply Chain Management to Ensure Their Sustainability

“…4, помимо параметров «количество», «качество», «затраты» и «время», предлагается использовать параметры «траектория» и «территория». Нетрудно заметить, что данные параметры конкретизируют компонент комплекса маркетинга «место» [13]. Параметр «траектория» используется при управлении на его основе «…для обобщения, обновления и воплощения в жизнь описания транспортных процессов на всех этапах стратегической и тактической координации и эксплуатации» [14].…”
