The ASMARA project idea is to implement and test a Decision Support System (DSS) that support the decision makers to improve and optimize the planning, management and booking operations in intermodal transportation systems.
The DSS is designed to take tactical and operational decisions of the intermodal transport system management by applying the modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools. The DSS is a platform that is devoted to improve the services by adding “intelligence” to them. The decisions implicate tactical and operational level:
- Tactical decisions are made on a medium-term basis (e.g. monthly or quarterly) and include the offline planning of:
– operations and vehicle scheduling,
– timing, sequencing of resource allocation,
– storage allocation, order picking strategies, transportation mode selection, consolidation strategies etc.
– vehicle routing - Operational decisions are made on a daily basis or in real-time and include warehouse order picking, shipment and vehicle dispatching, booking operations, reactive and rescue actions to unpredictable events (blocking, accidents, hazardous weather, etc.).
- The DSS is designed to cooperate with different objects by exchange data and messages: the traffic control centre, the infrastructure, the market place, the fleet management centre, and the emergency centre.
