PART ONE :
The Freight4All revolution
1. The Freight4All revolution
The aims of this part are:
• To set the scene
• To explain in an evocative way the F4All
stakes
• To promote the impacts of the project at
local levels in order to increase the number
of users – added value for the users
Fragmented long transnational
chain
A multitude of actors
Limiting productivity
Reducing competitive advantage
Hampering growth
Disastified customers
Long product lead times
1. a / Initial observations
1. a / Initial observations

Closed national solutions
Barriers
1. b / Origin of the projectMain considerations
• What are the main problems in transnational freight transport chains ?• What are the key policy drivers for developing and enhancement of
multimodal transport?• Is the collaboration between actors an issue for success?• Can the Regional Authorities have an « umbrella » role supporting the
stakeholders involved in the transport sector (both from demand and supply)?
• What are the main missing elements of the MED transport system in relation to Central and North Europe (apart from infrastructures?)
• What kind of services (in the field of transport) can support the Cretan export and import activities?
• How can the transport links be improved in the MED area?
1. b / Origin of the projectICT as a tool for improvements but…… how?
Several closed systems already in place by major freight transport stakeholdersSeveral customised systems leading to fragmentationProvision of solutions for a niche of functionalitiesInteroperability is still an issueDissimilar technological standards between geographical areas
Integrated and interoperable ICT platform available to ALL playersAn ICT solution that interconnects the complementary applications of remote systems An ICT solution that can provide complete and alternative workflows for various supply chains needs.Decentralized administration/management for systems/transport services providers.Information exploitation for operational and strategic decision making
1. b / Origin of the project
In this context, Freight4ALL capitalizes on the e-logistics applications
implemented in MED areas by isolated initiatives, however introducing a
distributed ICT platform that allows the integration of existing systems and break
the barriers for all actors involved in transnational freight transport chains.
The MED area transport cohesion can be achieved by introducing smart ICT networking solutions allowing accessibility for all.
Under DAC’s coordination we wish to respond these issues within the framework
of the Freight4All project in cooperation with European Mediterranean and multi-
actors partners:
1. b / Origin of the project
1. c / Freight4All objectives
To bridge the gaps in the transnational supply chains in a synergic way:
To capitalize on the e-logistics applications implemented by isolated initiatives in various MED areas
To introduce a distributed ICT platform allowing the integration of existing systems and break the barriers for all actors involved in transnational freight transport chains.
More specifically:
To design and develop a distributed platform as a mediator for the effective interactions of the stakeholders, end-to-end supply chain management and continuous visibility of the operations
To provide advanced interoperability and interconnectivity tools
Easy entry with low cost for advanced and transnational e-logistics
1. c / Freight4All objectives
1. d / Economic and political implications
Resolution on transport policy of the RS (Intermodality: time for sinergy) / year 2006:
Transport as basis for economic development of a country
- weaknesses in Slovenia: no cooperation among transport service operators and no links between different types of transport infrastructure (intermodality, multimodality), lack of logistics centres
- Opportunities for Slovenia: unification and harmonisation of transport systems operation, development of new transport technologies.
- Vision of economic supply: The offer of overall logistic services within the economic supply and through the interconnection of providers of such services will along with the implementation of a modern cost-effective environmental transport policy provice economic viability of intermodality within the national goods transport in the long run. Slovenia will strongly support the development of new technologies which provide different forms of intermodal transport, external logistics or optimisation of supply chains and the reduction in adverseenvironment effects in transport
1. d / Economic and political implications
- Transport policy measures: education and training, information and marketing with the aim to raise awareness of the importance of transport systems, its operation and optimum usage of transport infrastructure
- Transport policy measures – freight transport sector: fiscal policy measures and other measures for the promotion of intermodality and focusing on the transport system on contemporary solutions in supply chains where such state measures must be economically justified.
1. d / Economic and political implications
Considering such framework, F4All contributes to :
• Promoting intermodality
• Sustainable transport solutions
• Innovative technologies
• Cooperation of operators
1. d / Economic and political implications
Experience of cooperation between logistics providers in Slovenia:
- Transport Logistics Cluster – approx. duration 2002 – 2005- Slovenian technological platform – approx. duration 2008- Chamber of commerce of the RS/ transport section - well established
section, in particular representing interests of truck drivers- Association of shipping agents – historic association of some of the
shipping agents present in the Port of Koper- Propeller club of the Port of Koper – association that promotes
maritime transport and unites actors of maritime field (pilotes, tug services, moorers ecc)
1. d / Economic and political implications
1. d Economic and political implications
F4All contributes to the National objectives of the « Grenelle de l’environnement »
– The “Grenelle Environnement” is a conference bringing together the government, local authorities, trade unions, business and voluntary sectors to draw up a plan of action of concrete measures to tackle the environmental issue.
– It was launched during last presidential period…
National Level
F4All contributes to the National objectives of the « Grenelle de l’environnement »
– Sustainable development issue• F4All enables managing and piloting of intermodality• F4All reduces/limits the negative externalities of transport one of
the main sector concerned by CO2 emmisions• F4All enables the creation of tools favouring sustainable transport
solutions
National Level
1. d / Economic and political implications
• The PACA-Corsica Chamber of commerce and Industry (CCI), which is the cornerstone of the region’s development policy as regards its transport and Logistics system, manages 11 maritime and inland waterways ports as well as 5 marinas, employing 307 personnel in ports, covering 50 000 square meters and 9200 meters of quay availability. This generates a turnover of approximately € 60 million yearly.
• The PACA regional development policy benefits from a broad legal framework involving laws and regulations of various natures.
Regional Level : PACA
1. d / Economic and political implications
• Consistent with the Regional Economic Development Plan (SRDE) drawn up by the PACA regional authority and the Corsica Sustainable Development and Land Use plan (PADDUC), the plan presents the current situation concerning seaports, inland waterway ports and airports, with details of the main features of such facilities.
• The plan is based on an assessment of the port and airport infrastructures. In light of the number of facilities managed in PACA-Corsica, the plan will include not only a file on problems common to both regions, but also two reports on the specific features of each tool.
Regional Level : PACA
1. d / Economic and political implications
• Proposals for regional orientations will complete the plan. This is the purpose of the first part of the work. The plan will be deployed in four areas, according to requirements:
• In terms of organisation and management• In terms of communication, including ICT• In terms of marketing,• In terms of financial engineering.

PART TWO B: Freight 4 ALL platform’s
structureThis part is oriented towards an audience that do have ICT background.
However, the 2/ b part can also interest public actors dealing with transport.
2. b / The Generic Harmonisation Framework
The Generic Harmonisation Framework (GHF) lays the foundation for the development of the System Architecture.
Assessment of the current situation at transport , logistics and ICT levels in partner countries.
Establishing the harmonised operational model
Developing the specifications of the ICT solution detailed system architecture
When defining the GHF, three distinctive layers have been considered:
• User requirements analysis to define the key issues the demand transport side is intersted inan based on the requirements of the transport user categories
Demand layer
• Analysis of the backend systems consolidating the information of the backend and other relevant systems related to transport in terms of services, commonalities, differences and interrelations.
• Defining the agreement to be settled to achieve an effective interoperability between the backend and other systems
Supply layer
• Analysis of the current existing policies compared to the policies required for the development, facilitation, improvement of the business cases operation, providing at the end the generic policy dimension on the MED area
Administration and policy layer

Back end … from the manual… which could be very useful
The Gateway component is responsible for access to the platform regardless of the component the user wishes to access the user must enter through the Gateway.The gateway is the only entrance and exit point for the platform it is an ideal component to record the traffic in and out of the system. This information can then be provided via the UI to the user that it would benefit or concern, tying it with the autonomous administration functionality, allowing administrators to monitor the frequency of use of the system.
The primary goal of the Single Sign On (SSO) is to allow for the user of the platform to enter the system at a single point and, without requiring the user to reenter their credentials, to move seamlessly through the many system components and to exploit the services of backend systems.
Creation of an Organization Group and its first Organization
Only by the global admin
You will go back to the Organization list where your new organization and organization group will be listed
Creating a new administrative user for the newly created group
Log in as the global administrator, as described before, and navigate to the User Management screen accessed through the Administration tab
Select the organization in the dropdown menu located at the top of the page.
Default profile will determine the role the user will play as part of the organization
Adding an additional company to participate in the group
either by the global admin or the group admin
the organization group value is different/the other one
Adding new users and assigning them to roles within the group

By a programming interface that is provided by UDDI that uses direct service requests through SOAP/ XML
Discovery is always triggered through the workflow design functionality and is used for facilitating global administrators to design complex workflows.
Service Discovery
Orchestration
2. c / System architectureOrchestration supports two types of operations:
1. The creation/ update of workflows during the design operation of the system
2. Control and execution of workflows during runtime operation of the system
Workflow design is supported through the use of front ends that are accessible only to administrators.
Orchestration involves the design and the runtime operation of the workflow by the global administrator. In addition a user can monitor the execution of his own workflows.
Orchestration
2. c / System architectureThe administrator can create or update a workflow that consists of one of more web services.
First he/she has to select the option Workflow design from the workflow GUI options. Then, he/she is able to view the running status of active workflow instances or past (history) workflows. The system shows the execution status of the workflow and the steps that have been executed. For each step of the workflow a Trigger is sent to Interoperability / Interconnectivity and a response is expected (i.e. notification) to signal that the specific web service has been executed.
The administrator can also monitor workflow operation

Data extraction &
transformation
Data extraction and transformation is an activity that is executed periodically and automatically by the system (e.g. every 10 minutes).
It collects all information from the historical/ operational repositories and performs a set of operations that check, clean, map – if necessary – to common set of data and transforms data to an optimized structure for statistical analysis.
All data are stored in the analysis repository.

The main characteristics of this functionality are:
Staging area: Separate area where a series of checks is performed before data are finally stored. This intermediate area is used to a) facilitate the process of problem identification in case of validation failures and b) ensure that no invalid information will be stored into the Analysis repository
Data validation checks: A set of checks are performed before the data stored into the Analysis DB, including mainly logical validation of the data in order to ensure that the information stored does not contain invalid values for the analysis and the calculation of the indicators. The above checks are specific and will be defined per indicator during the indicators specifications.
Transformation: If data are not in accordance with common information model specifications then a set of transformation mechanisms will be involved

All activities from all stages from data collection to reports are logged through the monitoring functionality.
The most important activities are transmitted through auditing to the Gateway whereas the component keeps a complete detailed analysis internally.
The latter is accessible through a set of front ends to FREIGHT4ALL global administrators who have a complete overview of the system’s operation and performance.
In addition the system provides the possibility of notifying the FREIGHT4ALL Global administrators via email of serious events. This is done through a notification mechanism using interfaces with the Gateway.
