Intermodal Transport Real-time Information Platform
The INTRARTIP (Intermodal Transport Real
Time Information Platform) project is a research and technology development
project, partially funded by the European Commission. It aims at designing and
experimenting on the field a real time information for supporting intermodal
transport.
The platform provides selected and
standardised market information useful for organising the delivery of cargo and
for settling bookings, trade agreements and contracts as well as information
concerning conditions, infrastructures capabilities, routes, facilities,
timetables, tariffs, reliability of delivery, etc. This could be envisaged as
the first approach to electronic commerce in the transport field.
More specifically the objectives of the
INTRARTIP project are:
• To define a Semantic Framework for information involved in the
pre-contract processes of intermodal transport
• To define an Open Architecture for the
INTRARTIP Platform
• To implement a Pilot System,
implementing a number of information services and IT applications. The aim is
to evaluate the feasibility of the INTRARTIP concepts.
