Abstract
Customer and freight related information is essentially to enable and ensure reliable transport chains. Therefore, real-time information along the transport service is to be made available by the participating companies to enable each service provider to optimise its resources and dispositive control of its processes. This Paper deals with the result of the project RRTM-C which tested a closed information chain of an exemplary daily multimodal container shuttle service running in Austria between Vienna to Bludenz. The used information and data were provided by combining the tools that the project partners OeBB (Austrian Federal Railways), Asfinag (Austrian Motorway and Expressway Financing Joint-Stock Company) and shipper company Venz Logistik use for their daily operation. By connecting the main tools of the partners via specialised interfaces a continuous, cross- modal exchange of information including a stable prediction of ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) of the containers in the terminals was made possible. The system was tested successfully in real transport conditions in June and September 2022. Additionally, an optimisation model of the involved container terminal was implemented to research the effects of different scenarios of different grades of information availability in the container terminal.
RRTM-C was a national cooperative implementation project that that was funded by the Austrian Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) and the National Railway Infrastructure Funding Agency (SCHIG).
