Date: 26.Feb.2015 Presenter: Florian Krietsch, Senior Project Manager, PTV Group, Karlsruhe (Germany). The webinar will start with a discussion of the question: “What can I develop for the iCargo Ecosystem?”. In a second step, the webinar will focus on the Planning Service of iCargo as a particular example for a service used within the Ecosystem. The Planning service is a component that provides the capability of green and efficient transport chain composition and optimization. Presented by Florian Krietsch, Senior Project Manager at the Logistics Software Concepts and Solutions Unit, PTV Group, Karlsruhe (Germany).

iCargo is a large-scale integrating project co-funded by the European Commission within the FP7 Information
and Communication Technologies Work Programme. iCargo involves representatives of the main
stakeholders in the areas of research and technological development, logistics companies, shippers and
public authorities. The 29 partners coming from 13 countries are coordinated by the Research and
Innovation Hub of ATOS Spain.
iCargo will design and implement a decentralized ICT infrastructure allowing real world objects, new planning
services including CO2 calculation capabilities and existing systems to co-exist and efficiently co-operate at
an affordable cost for logistics stakeholders.
The iCargo project aims at supporting new logistics services that:
₋ Synchronize vehicle movements and logistics operations across various modes and actors to lower CO2
emissions
₋ Adapt to changing conditions through dynamic planning methods involving intelligent cargo, vehicle and
infrastructure systems and
₋ Combine services, resources and information from different stakeholders, taking part in an open freight
management ecosystem.

• The iCargo planning service enables the user to compose
intermodal transport chains and to obtain a number of
alternatives per chain. Transport chain results are
presented for different KPI`s: Monetary costs, emissions,
transport time.
• The service provides planning functionalities to plan
multiple transport orders in an network optimized way.
Thereby the aim is to reduce CO2 emission and costs by
facilitating modal shift, bundling and cooperation.
• Data exchange in and out-bound is possible in either
standardized (CF) or proprietary formats
• The service can be used in a flexible way either standalone
or in combination with other services.
Benefits of the planning service

• Novel iCargo ICT solutions can increase
efficiency, i.e. cost reduction (CO2, € and time)
• The interplay of different Ecosystem services
can create seamless ICT support for logistics
• The support of CF messages as well as the
comparability towards proprietary message
formats (transformed by, e.g. iCargo semantic
gateway) offers flexible utilization options to
the users.
